5 stone gone before and after pictures and my story :) you can do it too!

[Miami Brown]

You're truly my inspiration. That part about size 18 at Evans and Dorothy Perks hit a the nail on the head. I wasn't always overweight. There was a period when I got down to a size 10 and I did get a rush from shopping in River Island, Gap and H&M. But now I'm back to doing it all over again and I'm scared of failing and not maintaining. So to read your own experience makes me less anxious because it can be done. And you look so amazing. I hope to one day post my before and after photos to inspire even more people who are working to lose weight

Well done! Amazing achievement. I like you have been overweight from about the age of 10 and my parents are foodies too! I sadly am way bigger than you ever were but your loss has inspired me and made me realize that it is very achievable if you stick to it! Congratulations!

KISS MY SKINNY ASS! Lol! That made me chuckle

I can relate to you a lot as I was a healthy weight up until I was about 10yrs old but had a healthy appetite. I never binged or ate loads of junk food, just ate portions that were far too big. The difference with my story is that once I started dieting at around 18, the weight wouldn't budge. I later found out that I have a very severe case of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome which causes unnecessary weight gain. A lot of it is water retention combined with an over storage fats. My case is so severe that my doctor was convinced that I would have to take the I.V.F route if I ever wanted to conceive. Also the older I get the harder it would be too. That was the kick up the arse I needed!!! Luckily for me it didn't come to that, as my doc recommended I try the Cambridge Diet, low and behold 11 weeks later I had lost almost 4stones! My partner and I decided the time was right to start trying for a baby given the circumstances and I conceived naturally within 2 months! My doctor was astonished and amazingly the weight stayed off until I was full term in my pregnancy and then I ballooned! I'm still about 2 stone lighter then I was at my heaviest and my daughter is almost 2, but Im still on my weight loss journey and I'm following Slimming World with good results.

Thankyou for posting your story, you have inspired me to keep going

Well done you give me hope that I will get there and stay there. Enjoy skinny you

 

[just_angie]

I joined minimins about a month ago and this originally really inspired me to lose the weight, unfortunately as I went to a couple of festivals in the past few weeks I went off track and have recently thought 'maybe I'll just always be overweight' - reading this post again has made me realise I must not settle for that! Your pictures are incredible and it's so impressive that you lost all that weight in 7 months.

A true inspiration, well done!
