I apologize in advance for the crappy quality but these were all scanned.
Anyway, here are some pictures from me over the past year. I'm about 175 in the first two. In the last one I'm about 167, about a month ago. Now I'm 165. :)
This is from homecoming last October.
This is from my boyfriend's graduation in June, about a week before I started SBD.
I absolutely hate this picture, I had to wear my two-piece because my cat decided to chew the strap on my one-piece right before I went on vacation. Anyway, this is my boyfriend and I from 4th of July weekend at Lake Michigan. My brother and his girlfriend were originally in the picture next to me, but they're both twigs and they just make me look like a cow lol.
I'll hopefully be getting some more pictures soon from my vacation last week. :)[/img] |

Thank you both so much :)
My brother just always make me feel like a cow when I'm around him, he's 5'10" and 110 lbs, so yeah, he's extremely thin, so then I guess that just makes me average compared to him. |

I was just about to say...
PERFECT example of how some people look GREAT at a certain weight, and others don't.
You look fab!

Thank you all so much for your compliments, they really mean a lot to me! Starting this thread has actually boosted my confidence a little bit.

Yeah see that's the problem I'm 5'8" and all my weight is in my thighs....they're out of control!
I guess I'm just my own worst critic...everyone is, if you ask me. |

Melani,
You do look gorgeous, for sure.
I know what it's like to carry all the weight in your thighs...I do that too. I've got an extra 10 pounds of fat on each one, another 10 on my hips and 10 more on my butt! LOL
It's really hard sometimes to see ourselves in perspective. Especially when the people we hang out with are really thin! But trust us, you are a total knock-out...and being on the beach will only help you see it too :D |

| You look great in all of your photos! You're so far from looking like a "cow". Dang, if that's what a "cow" looks like... I'd like to look like one too! |
