Ht. 5'5, Wt. too much - I love that the changes I have made have become only a lifestyle for me now. I don't stress about what people think of me anymore. I know I still have a ways to go, but I accept myself now. I think I really changed over the summer personality wise. I don't take crap from people anymore. Plus, now that I am in advanced classes, I dont have to worry about the ditzes that only focus on appearances--they couldnt handle my classes. I also like that I have been getting a lot of compliments on my appearance that have nothing to do with my weight--hair, outfits, etc. It may seem weird, but i HATE people i know personally to compliment me on my weight. it means they have been focusing on my size =( Anywho, my advice is to focus on your life and not your image. If you eat healthy and you exercise they go hand in hand eventually. Good luck ya'll!
