Height: 5'5.5''

Default NSV: I've got my waist back and down a pant size!

So things have been stalling lately so I figured I would post a little update to get motivated!

I know 15 lbs lost is nothing compared to what so many of you have accomplished, but it's all about baby steps, right? Let's hope!!

As a pear-shaped girl, my thighs and hips are the areas I struggle with the most. That's why when I realized I'd gone down 1 (possibly 2) pant sizes, I was THRILLED! When I started at around 175-180, I was wearing 12-14. I bought a pair of pants over the weekend in a 10 (I have two pairs of shorts in a 10 which are very loose now but it was a serious case of vanity sizing...I bought them when I was always wearing 12s and 14s so they don't count haha).

Also, I've gone down a couple inches in the waist and am now into smalls 90% of the time in shirts (although my flabby arms are forcing me up a size sometimes..grr).

Okay, onto the pictures. This is a bit of an exercise in body pride and self-love so here goes nothing. (Sorry some of the images are so large)

Before




Current


This next one is from about a month ago at ~165





Of course, a nice dress makes a difference compared to leggings haha.

Thanks for sharing! It's pretty cool to see because your starting weight/measurements are pretty close to my current ones (although I have a bit more in the bust and less in the hips). Getting close to the lower end of 160 is a dream to me so it's great to see how far you've come. That dress looks absolutely awesome, I must say! Where did you get it?

Yes I have always liked looking at photos of people of similar proportions so I thought I'd return the favour. Our high schools weights are about the same too I think!

The dress is from Gap but I didn't buy it. I was sending the pic for friend approval while shopping haha

I'm so loving your progress. Your post made me realize that I haven't. Seen my waist in an attractive way since my mid 20s. LOL!

Anyhoo congrats!
