Thread: Before and during - so far so good.

I started my weight lost in Jan'11 after seeing a picture from a works party (taken Nov'10) a friend of mine added it to facebook and i was mortified. i was nearly twice the size of my work friends..

I always knew i was big, but never that big. I decided like alot of other people that i was going to make a change the following year.

I made this picture in Nov'11 to celebrate a year of change. I use this picture as motivation to stop me from going back to my old ways and i have lost more since that last picture was taken.

I am far from my goal weight and plan on being there (or nearly there) by xmas '12.

Good luck to you all on your weight loss journey ..

you can do it, one day at a time

Wow!!!! You've done sooooo well!!! You should be so proud of yourself well done! I love your photo too! You look great now!! :-) x

Well done you! I love your comparisons - you lost Twiggy!

Thanks

A huge well done!

Absolutely amazing... well done!

Wow! Well done your doing fab

That's ace, you've done so well - and I loved the pictures, just burst out laughing at work at Twiggy!

You look great...well done!!

Wow, you look so different from that first pic! Bloody good for you, mister! : )

Lol well done, loved the comparisons

Thanks guys, i made the pic for motivation after a chat with my family about 'how well you've done, omg, you've lost lost *so and so* in weight.. so bored one night i googled pics using just my weight loss, had to use kg and lbs (6 1/2 stones is just super model type women) and i was shocked to see what i had lost.

I'm more determined to keep it off, anyone can say oh i lost 'X' amount and put it back on because of 'Y' and 'Z'.. but when you know you have lost the weight of a petrol lawn mower, it's more then just a number.. makes you wonder what icould loose in total.. right now i have lost just over 7 stone or 100Lbs *woohoo :P * so thats about the weight of an photocopier. probably post more pics in the future. thanks for all your kind words to help motivate me.. you can do it too, take each day as it comes and keep moving forward

well done you've done so well xxxxx

Fantastic, good to keep the photos as a reminder what your not going back to - you look so different and an inspiration Ive joined 3wks ago and got to lose 7stone min, slowly is the way to go for sure. good luck with your journey x

i think going slow is the best way to do it.. i've heard stories of people that loose weight in a short time putit back on.

it's taken me my whole life to put get that big, and now i'm going to take the rest of it, keeping it off .

one day at a time, thats my new motto
