From Amanda, Age 22

Ht. 5'8", Start: 225 lb, Today: 166.8 lb, Goal: 155 lb - I haven't been on here in months. I've been so lazy and undetermined. I don't understand how or why but I totally lacked motivation and drive over the course of the last 4-5 months. I think it was the stress of finishing college and finding a job. But the good news is that I started up again 3 days ago and I'm going strong. I've already lost 1 pound (prob. mostly water). I will be a bridesmaid in my best friends wedding in August, and we went for a dress fitting on Saturday and picked out this beautiful black dress for us all to wear. I loved the way I looked, except for my flabby arms. So I've decided to diet and exercise to get back down to my lowest weight of 155 for the official fitting in February (There's no going back after that. Once it's ordered I'm stuck with that size) so I really want to stick with this and get this stupid fat off! I was 155lbs in summer of 2010, so I know how I look and felt at that weight. Confident, but knowing I had about 10 pounds left to lose (in the gut). Plus, getting my hair and makeup professionally done and getting to wear a glamorous dress for a whole day will be like a huge reward and I'll get to show off my success if I make it... or rather.. WHEN I make it because I will! I hope everyones doing great, and good luck. We can do it.
