The Before (July 2009)
Weight: 156 lbs
The After (March 2010)
Weight: 135 lbs
I lost 21 pounds in a little over a year. It was hard to find a picture to show it because I don't take a lot of pictures of my entire body. But I thought these were a good comparison because I'm wearing the same top. Anyways, my goal from the beginning was to get to 130 but the scale will not budge. Hopefully I can lose the last (pesky!) 5 by the time my brother gets married in June. But for now, I'm just fine if this is where I stay. I'm comfortable in my skin and I know I'm healthy.
I want to close with a quote that really put things in perspective for me. “Skinnygirl does not mean bone-thin. Only dogs like bones. Being a Skinnygirl doesn’t mean you have to be a size 2 or 4. A Skinnygirl loves herself, lives her life to the fullest, and knows how to eat, drink, and be merry without fearing or obsessing over food. A Skinnygirl owns her life.”

You look great! Congrats!
you look FABULOUS! thanks so much for your encouragement on my "new leaf" blog... it really means a lot! you are an inspiration to me!
Your before pic & weight is my personal "skinny" goal! :-)
We are all made differently...and just like you said...it doesn't mean being a certain number or size but being fit, healthy and feeding your body the right things!
Great job!!!
Congratulations! You look wonderful. And you're right, it's more important to feel good in your own skin than what number shows up on the scale. Way to go!
How awesome!!! Soooo incredibly proud of you!! :)
You look so awesome!! congrats!!!
You look great! What an accomplishment!
You look fabulous! Way to be healthy!
That's awesome!!!! I also lost some weight over a longish period of time. And sometimes it still hard for me to believe I'm such a small size now. I lost about 27 pounds, and I'm only 5' 3.5", so that's a LOT! CONGRATULATIONS. You look awesome! GOod luck with the last 5!

It is so odd seeing how eerily similar our stats are, because I always thought you were so much thinner than me, but it just goes to tell you how critical we are of ourselves!
Again, you look awesome - congrats - so incredible!!

you look AWESOME, and I totally love that quote. We get so caught up over the number on the scale or on the tag that we forget to actually look at ourselves and appreciate that we are beautiful. And you, my friend, are BEAUTIFUL
