Very pretty lady ^.^

Ew.

Great job!

thank you!

Wow, awesome! Congrats :)

thanks so much!!

U soooo epic xD YAY!

;P

I'm dieting.. it's nice to see it works for some people :3

Diets don't work.
Lifestyle changes do.

I know =P
I have PCOS so it's hard.

That changes things, and I wish you luck with your health. I speak from a relatively "healthy" individual -- the only thing I really struggled with in conjunction with my weight was obvious depression issues. Once I powered through that, the rest was just science.

IN all honest, and i know it was your decision to lose weight and be healthier, but i find you beautiful in both pictures. However, congratulations. I wanna lose weight, but with my work and schedule its very hard, atleast im cutting out sugar the most i can

It's not about looking good, it's about feeling good. No matter how "happy" I appear in that first pic, I was fucking miserable, which lead to weight gain and a terrible self image and esteem.

I worked full time, and schooled full time - there's always time in the day to work on yourself. It's a lifestyle change. No excuses. ;)

I like both, but you probably already knew that. ;B

Uber congrats on meeting your goal! \o/

yaaay! \o/ I wish I had taken more pictures when I was heavy, to be honest, but god I was in such a STATE being that heavy. A depressed damaged mess who could not stand to have her picture taken.

Nowadays, I take all the pics I can, because... I don't want to forget.

Well that's good that your mood is better with relation to your body. Never too many pics! :B

Never! The digital age has changed American society so much, and now I feel the same way-- before, I felt like I never wanted to remember the way I looked.

*squeeze!* Thanks so much for the sweet comments!

AWWW YEAH!

boogie down

great job girl. i do miss the kansas furs. i remember when you first came to town and we grabed a bite to eat.

that was awesome! kansas has just gotten better since i came along! ;D

awesome

nice i did the same thing went from 260, max 280 and am now 170 :D congrats

grats on you too!!!

You look amazing can't wait for FC XD

I cannot wait to see you!!! <3

Yay!

Your a cutie in both pics

hah thanks! but it's not so much about the way you look as the way you feel!

Word

Tough stuff, great work :D

truly! thank you!

Huh, and I thought you had always looked that good

Nope! ;D haha thanks though.

Always Cute, ,,, still - You look great :)

Thanks!! <3

:D <3 :)

Nice work! Everyone needs to realize that they can easily drop weight off if they put their mind to it

It's true. I think a lot of people feel like they lose power of their lives when they are heavy and fall into victim mindset very easily; I know I was there in full steam. Once I started pulling out of depression and empowering myself, everything changed. I just want people to realize, even if they have control over nothing else in their lives, their body is theirs and theirs alone, and it IS something they can take control of.

Oh wow! That's some change and I applaud you as you look really nice now. 19 months and lost 63lbs, that's 3.315lbs a month. Even though you look cute/nice in both pictures ^^

It was a lot of "stints" of losing weight. I would stagnate a lot, and I wasn't always actively working on it. In 2006 or so, I weighed in as a maximum of 225 lbs. It's been a very long stuggle, and really over the past year or so have I honestly seriously started working on it -- gaining a lot of muscle, and losing fat.

Thank you so much for the compliment!

I can honestly say you'd be a great role-model for those who'd want to lose weight themselves, showing them that they'll look better and feel the rewards phsyically too. Being able to fit into a 'sexy little number' as it were and show people that females are just as beautiful as men and this is coming from a mostly gay guy. :3

*blush!* Thank you! My major is community health, and I'm all about helping others achieve what I've already achieved. I want to empower others, and make others feel as beautiful as I have always felt on the inside. <3 You are awesome!

The world needs more people like you, helping others towards beauty and letting them know that beauty is not skin-deep but flows through the veins.

I sound like a beauty-preaching Christian person. XD

must have been from all those arm curls, lol.
forward progress makes good progress. ^^

you know it! always moving forward!

Inspiring! I love junk food.... but I could stand to lose an extra 15 pounds or so!

Not gonna lie…this makes me feel loads better.
May I ask what you did?
Even if it was gradual over time…I keep trying to diet and such and it just seems so impossible with work and school. I need to lose…about 80 lbs.

Fuckin a looking good! I'm on my way myself hehehe.

Rock on girl! That's amazing I'll like you however you look but a happy Paprika is much better than a depressed one :<
Got a few pounds to drop myself (really who doesn't?) but I'm feeling better than I used to just by figuring out how to dress my body and forgiving myself alittle :3

Congratulations on the weight loss! Keep it up so you can keep you ideal weight. I'm suppose to be 150 myself, but i'm more of a 190 right now. All on my stomach at that.

But IF I may say, I thought you looked better in the before. I agree that you look great now, but my personal opinion is that you were hotter in the before.

Be well pretty Lady!
