That is absolutely amazing and SO incredibly inspiring! I have about 6st 6lbs to lose. It seems like such a lot but you are absolute proof that it can be done. Ive only just started SW (I joined twice in the past but never lasted more than a couple of weeks, both times, so never really LEARNED it) but Im determined to stick at it!!

Ive only just started SW (I joined twice in the past but never lasted more than a couple of weeks, both times, so never really LEARNED it) but Im determined to stick at it!!

I didn't believe I could do it either but gave it a try and it worked so I kept on trying and it kept on working. It took a while but I broke it down into smaller goals using the half stone awards as motivation etc
I always thought I would be big and when I started I thought it would be wonderful to be a size 18 but never thought I'd get there I'm now a size 14 (which isn't skinny but its a lot better than the size 28/30 I had become!)

It can definitely be done and is definitely worth sticking at to get where you want to get and then to stay there but am not saying it is easy. I'd say this site is amazing for support and would suggest doing a diary on here and help keep a record and people can help and support you along the way x

I have a diary. Its currently over in the VLCD section. I dunno whether to try to get it moved or to just start a new one...

Yes, this site is amazing

Wow, such an amazing accomplishment!

 

[*Emsie*]

I shall look out for it.

Thanks again for the lovely comments sometimes I forget where I have come from. Am trying to get butt back in gear after some off plan days this week so its encouraging for me to have a reminder x

 

[beelishy]

Oh you have!

I was 29(ish) stone and had gastric bypass in 2002. I sometimes forget that, although i still have a lot to lose (long story short, I regained some weight after I moved to this country 9 years ago) Im still roughly 10 stone lighter than I was.

Its good to remind yourself of your awesomeness sometimes. I think as overweight individuals, its so easy for us to berate ourselves...and less natural/easy to give ourselves credit when we deserve it. You totally deserve it. Well done you! x

 

[*Emsie*]

And Well Done you too! Will definitely be checking out your diary etc xx

Although my new creation this week is i made up my savory rice, i usualy would just eat this itself .instead i had a can of mixed veg, i drained the water out the veg and mixed in with the savory rice it totally bulked it out and it made 2 massive portions, added some jalapenos and it was an amazing quick dinner
