Welcome to Gaia! ::

This is a picture of me today, March 1, 2010 at 210 lbs.

This is a picture of me last April with voice actress Carrie Savage. This picture really made me decide I needed to lose weight. At the time I was 200 lbs and unfortunately I gained 10 lbs. since then. Still Carrie Savage, totally awesome getting a picture with her! The plushie she's holding is a character that she actually voiced.

Hm.
I haven't posted in this guild at all, I think, since I was on my diet... It's been about two years since then.
Just thought I'd leave some inspiration up in here. :]
I'm 5'7", btw.


Before, at 261 pounds:





After, seven months later, at 140 pounds:





I just found those older pictures.
It feels like it's been forever. I'm not gonna lie; I dun' remember what it was like to be at that weight.
I'm glad I've forgotten, though. I only remember getting tired VERY easily, and now I can run for several minutes at a time (which is a lot for someone as weak as me; lol), and I'll even start my first tae kwon do class tomorrow.
I can't wait; haah.
Good luck, everyone dieting. :] Idk how much you have to lose, but I know you can do it. : D!!

I'm currently 5'3 and 94 kg/207 lbs.

The weight placement I hate the most is that of my thighs, my stomach (I always tuck it into my panties, which is why I never buy fancy ones) and my upper arms. My knees, especially the back, are painful for me to look at, and I sometimes wish my boyfriend had a better looking girlfriend because, in my opinion, he's gorgeous and it feels like... I don't know, I just don't belong right there.

Hopefully I'll be able to reach 55 kg/121 lbs sometime soon. Going to do my best again with a new website I found (http://www.nowloss.com), which shows a lot easier home trainings. I can't stand gyms because I always feel so out of place; either there's tons of old people or there's tons of skinny people, which makes me very aware of just how big I am. And swimming suits show my thighs and knees, so I tend to avoid those too.

Before: at about 135 pounds


After: at about 117



I met my goal of 115 recently! Keep up the hard work everyone. This place has helped me so much in keeping myself accountable. Thank you!

I never thought there would be a day when I would make a post like this, to be honest. I mean, HOLY s**t ON A SANDWICH, the old me seems like a lifetime ago. Well, here it goes....

Meet the me before from last summer, weight: 176lbs / height: short (5'2''):



Meet the me now, weight: 108.5lbs / height: still short (5'2''):



I've been overweight pretty much all of my life; I was the typical fat kid who couldn't let go of her cake. Yet, in the past year I managed to lose a whopping 67.5 lbs. Go me!

Still, it's so ******** surreal. I can't believe I managed to lose that much.

This is me currently. I'm the one holding the dog (Tipsy) and the dude next to me is my brother. That pic was taken on mother's day. I weighed 197. I've only lost 2.5 lbs since then.

As you can see, I have a chunky face. Also, a lot of my weight is being carried in my butt and thighs and only some of it in my waist and stomach. My stomach still pops out disgustingly though, I look pregnant if I wear the wrong clothes. I wear baggy clothes a lot to hide my fat. sad I want to go down to about 135 to 140 lbs. That's about 55-60lbs lost. I want to reach my goals by mid december (the end of the fall semester.)

Sorry if the quality is bad, these are cell phone pictures (iPhone 4 has a 5 megapixel camera).

New SHORT haircut!

Face time

Back angle

Its so short!

That's all for now. My friend is a licensed cosmetologist so used a Japanese relaxer chemical and cut my hair. She did so good! It turned out a little shorter than I wanted, but I still like it, she did a good job, and everyone who has seen it so far is impressed. I'm just excited than I can wet my hair and it won't become frizzy or curly anymore! heart

I look a little thinner around the face from previous pictures, YAY! I'm excited.
