Hawai'i is absolutely one of my favorite places to visit...third time in O'ahu right now and I just realized I have been here at every stage in my weight loss journey:

1st time: 300s
2nd time: 270s
3rd time: 200s

I have always wanted to buy a Hawai'ian dress and wear it here but I knew I'd look horrible in it. I don't feel 100 percent perfect in one now, but my band has given me enough courage to buy one and love wearing it!!

So here it is:

And here are photos of me from every time I came...

BODY

300s

270s

200s

FACE

Maybe some day I'll come here at GOAL and sport a bikini????? Hehe

I am so glad that I actually took photos of myself at my highest weight.... it's just shocking to look back at these photos.

2019: 11 years out and maintaining a loss of 150lbs.
