pictures of me

This is me in Vegas at 270 pounds in Sept. 2009

The picture on the left was me at around 296.6 at my heaviest and the picture on the right was taken a few months ago around 220 pounds.

Again this is me at my heaviest and then at 180 pounds!! What a difference!

And this is what I looked like when I was thin, 18, and more confident than I could ever imagine. This is the real Michaela and I can't wait to be this girl again!!! I believe I was about 160 here but I was also an athlete with just a little body fat. I am 5'6".
