    I will tell you the weirdest thing about this. I got up around 4am. No particular reason just went to bed too early so I was up. I popped on some Netflix and as I was laying there I realized back in t

Right on! Look how far you have come too. Im thinking that 145 lbs will be my goal weight. Im 5'5 and think if I go smaller I will look sickly. I got curves too and thick legs so hoping that goes down as more weight comes off.

@Rose1up! yeah the legs are the LAST thing to go down but they do. I've seen yours go down as well. I can't believe i'm trying for 140. but then i can't believe i'm at 160 either. so there's that. i admit i feel obsessive sometimes now. i wake up and do fasted cardio in the morning and weigh myself everyday and fret about loose thighs and tummy but i still feel fat/not small enough most days. it's really weird cuz we all know mental/emotional sides come with it and even if i'm rockin' a size 10 i still feel like a 16 lol. work in progress. we just need to stay on it and not quit! <3

I still feel like I haven't lost weight. Its something we may have a long way to mentally get used to since we have been heavy for so long.

You only look like a "pig" in your mind! You look absolutely fantastic - curvy and healthy! Look back at a before picture and see the difference! Don't let your mind play tricks on you! I am inspired by how well you've done!

@@KristenLe thank you. i admit i feel a little obsessive about it. i just don't understand how different it looks in photos vs. in person :( work in progress like you said. hope you are doing great!

No you dont! If youre a PIG then Im a PIG and we will be PIG's together! P= Pretty I = Intelligent G= Girl.... so there!! You look beautiful and you have lost a ton of weight. I know what you are going through. The Puerto Rican blood woman... we have curves. We have hips, thighs, and booty! Ive got PR and Hawaiian.... I know I will be feeling the same struggle you are... I already do but Ive embraced my curves.... keep happy and keeping toning!

@Rose1up! thank you mama. i've decided i need to shoot for like 130. i think the people that "look skinny" in photos are like 115 but that ain't gonna happen for me. my body is being real funny right now and losing like 2lbs per week but it's ok. i'm teetering at 161 to get to my initial goal of 160. then imma start taking boot camp classes to get to the next level. when they say the last 20lbs are the hardest they ain't kidding!

haha i love teal. had my tiffany blue car for a while i'm thinking of changing it to TRON this year tho just for fun ;):P
