Here's a timeline of my weight gain/loss...
I grew up heavy, this is me in 11th grade, before losing weight from running on a treadmill everyday, but I was about the same wieght after I had my son, and I was camera shy then so this is the closest I can come to a before everything pic:

This was after I had my son, and I did Atkins for the first time, I was in an emotionally and physically abusive relationship that he said was all because "I was fat and disgusting"... I lost the weight and him


Then, years went by, I got comfortable again and camera shy again and this is the only picture (even though I cropped it) that I could find that shows part of my weight gain again... check out that yummy arm:

Then, in 2007, I got hot again... in these pics I was a size 8 and sadly, I remember thinking I still needed to lose 30 lbs. on top of what I'd lost by that point... my goals have since changed:



I don't have any pics between 2007 and this June 2009 pic below, but my weight went back up to 189 in there somewhere and then I did Atkins again, and in the beginning of June 2009 (this year!) I was 156 on this picture:

And, for my 25th birthday, September 25th THIS YEAR only 2 and a half months later, my mom took this HORRIFIC pic of my son, my Grandma, and I... I've never seen a picture where I look this big and it was mortifying... I'm 175ish in this pic... and to think of the 196lb. days where no camera was allowed in the same room as me... I never thought I looked this bad, even at 196 I didn't think I looked this big... This picture was the biggest wake-up call ever. And, thus, my inspiration for this time around.
This is now my current restart, BEFORE pic:

And, this is my soon-to-be after pic:

I had to throw that one in there, lol
