I'm currently in my first year of my doctoral program and over the course of undergrad, I gained over 50 lbs. I currently weigh 250 lbs and it has really put a toll on my confidence.

I started working out late november with light cardio and lifting weights and have been gradually changing my diet, but I've been visiting home for the past ~2 weeks for the holidays and completely let myself go😞

My first goal is 200lbs then 160lbs is my ideal weight. I'd love some encouragement from you ladies as I resume this new journey!!!!

Here's what I look like now:
