Thread: AKB pictures on BBC website!!

I just wanted to give a heads up for one of my lovely customers Ailsa (AKB on here), who is also now a counsellor. Her before and after pictures is on the BBC website:

BBC NEWS | In Pictures | In pictures: Your weight loss

She is picture number 7 and as you can see looks amazing!

Pip

I met AKB at the last wemitt meet in Birmingham and she's every bit as gorgeous in the flesh.

What fantastic before/after pics of her - I only hope mine look half as good when I get to goal!

PS
Check out number 6 .... phwoarrr!

Hi Pip,

Have you let Chris McD or Karensa know about this, or were they involved?

Linda

Those are fantastic! AKB you are a real inspiration.

LisaV is on there as well!! Photo 9 !!!!

What an absolute stunner! Did she do CD as well then?
I thought her weight loss was fast!

I'm not sure how Ailsa got to be on here. I'm sure she will fill us in when she see's this post. I know she is involved with them for a magazine feature though

Pip

Yes she did a brill Blog!!

Hiya,

A's seen it - she commented on our thread "careful forever". She answered an ad on BBC about weight loss, sent them an e-mail when they were looking for people with good weightloss stories...

So proud of her!
Anja

and thanks for your kind words!
I didn't know it was on until my dear friend and early DHH mentor, Pogle, texted me this morning to say I was on it!
I sent it in after reading about the 34stone teen programme - I was adding my twopenn'orth about VLCDs being, in my opinion (before anyone flames me), a safer and more long term solution than stomach surgery!
I'll ring Cambridge in a min!

Wow you look amazing!!

As does Lisa - I used to read her blog all the time before I started!

All of thoes pictures are amazing,

Espically yours AKB, that has to be the best side by side I have even seen!

Thanks Pierce - it's when I look at that photo that I realise how far I've come and what I don't want to go back to! I dodged mirrors/cameras/any reflective surface for years so never really saw the "real" me. When I first saw those 2 together I was shocked and appalled by what I'd done to myself when I finally saw what everyone else did - mentally I saw myself a good 5 or 6 stone lighter than I really was! On the before photo my hip size and my height were identical - 5' 4". AKB:true human weeble

Hi,

Your pictures are really amazing - well done on your great weightloss and good luck with your counselling.

Linda

As I've said before akb you are fantastic, I do hope you see yourself as slim now, becasue believe me you are!
