300 lbs
Before and After.
I haven't always been over weight, I was the skinny kid for a large part of my life. But, Like my mother and her mother before her, things started to slow down. My Hypo Thyroid kicked in. Depression kicked in. Life kicked in. I have wallowed in self pity for far to long, and decided it's time to move on, get over it and live my life instead of trying to hide.
300lbs isn't actually my heaviest weight, I just lost 30lbs from the help of Th3skinny's amazing tumblr.. Before that I lost another 20.I can do this, and even if I have to repeat that to my self 100 times a day, I will do this. Now is the time. :)

Hello Every one! I am so extremely sorry for disappearing!
My computer broke! :( I promise to update very soon when everything is back in order.
I love you all. Also I lost 5 lbs :)
I can do this. -
I’m really sorry to those who I have not responded to yet from my inbox! I have been very busy the last two days and not been able to spend much time on my laptop! I haven’t skipped over a single note, so just give me a little time. :)

Wow, you're doing so well! You can even tell that your posture has improved too! That makes sense, after all, you do have reason to "stand a little taller"!! Keep on doing great!

Thank you! I do feel like my posture has improved a lot. My joints have been less sore then when I started so that on top of feeling better really does give me reason to, as you say, stand a little taller!
I can do this! :) -

Just because you had a bit too much to eat or too little to exercise (or the other way round for my beautiful recoverers), doesn’t mean you should start from square one! Dust yourself off and carry on!

What a morning. I woke up suddenly with 77 followers and 31 notes in my inbox! I have finally finished going through all of them but this one. This was the only anonymous one and decided to use it to respond as a whole to all of the follows and likes.
Thank you for all of your kind words and support! Really truthfully from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Through my time on tumblr I have seen so much hate I was scared to start this tumblr. Working hard every day, I didn’t want to come on and see nothing but ‘You are fat’ ‘Go Die!’ etc. But when I woke up this morning and saw all of the kind words in my inbox, I cried. I feel good and much healthier because of working out and changing my life style, but the words are like a cherry on top. All of those words brought a large smile to both my face and my heart.
You are all beautiful, amazing and fabulous! I want to hug you all!
I can do this.

I went from 14 followers to 44. Holy cow! :o
Thank you all for the support! You are all wonderful! :) <3
edit: make that 47 O_O <3 -
I still have far to go, but I wanted to show a progress image. Top is before obviously, bottom is tonight. :) It’s nice seeing a difference.

I stepped on the scale for the first time in a while. 285 lbs. : ) See, when you aren’t paying so much attention, good things happen.

I found that there are days I really can’t finish a work out. Either because of my period, I didn’t get enough sleep, I’m sick with the flu or I just have a really busy day. No matter what, even if it’s 5 minutes of working out, that is better then nothing. But I found my self beating my self up over not finishing workouts. “Get up off your fat ass and just keep going. You did this yesterday, why can’t you do it today.” I just kept putting my self down. I was miserable. I shouldn’t have been like that of course, I have gone far in the last couple months, but sometimes you just can’t help but beat your self up.
I finally got to the point where I didn’t feel good working out, Because no matter how hard I was working, I would tell my self its not enough. Even If I jogged for 20 minutes and did speed walking for an hr each day. “Why aren’t you pushing harder? Why aren’t you jogging for a half hr at least? Why are you so lazy. Why can’t you do anything.” It never stopped. I am extremely hard on my self in every part of my life, not just my weight/health. I stopped working out for almost a week because I depressed my self so much. I had been doing so well, But I let my self sit there like a wounded animal.
Then, one day I mentally slapped my self. It was a wake-up call. I reminded my self where I was, and where I am now. I didn’t do that just by sitting around like a cry baby and beating my self up. I realized working out isn’t enough. You really need to take care of your self mentally.I knew I wasn’t going to just let my self slide though, I would pick up that bad habit. Cutting off work-outs earlier, first with 5 minutes… then 10… then 20… then i’m back where I started. So, I started to clean when I can’t finish a work out. If i’m too tired to clean I draw or I read. Something productive. Anything productive. Because even if I had to stop working out a little earlier, I still did something good with that time. I didn’t just sit around on tumblr, I didn’t just sit there doing nothing, and let me tell you… working out has been so easy since then. I have been happier. I have been better. :)
I can do this.
And so can you. I believe in you. -
Today I had my first 5 more. What I mean by that is, while was walking/jogging I decided - ‘you know what? 5 more minutes wouldn’t kill me. It will only make me stronger’. And I did it. I did an extra 5 minutes, and you know what… IT FELT FANTASTIC. I may be a little more tired, breathing a littler harder and sweating a hell of a lot more, but it was worth it. Damn it was worth it.
I suddenly feel like I can do anything.
It’s that moment you know you are doing your best, but you push harder to be better. Happiness is inspirational. I want to paint and I want to travel the world. I just feel good and happy with my self. I can’t say I have felt that way to often, so it feels like i’m high. haha
I can do this.
