The before photo you can kinda see behind me in the ceremony is attached. This isn't me at my biggest (unsuprisingly camera shy) but gives a pretty good idea.

10 months to target but that is unusually fast - it suprised all the other finalists when we chatted.

Well done you - that's an amazing weight loss! Congratulations

 

[Meli]

Congratulations- an amazing transformation!

 

[*Emsie*]

Wow! Amazing! So out of interest how do you think you managed to lose that amount in such a short amount of time then? Well Done!

It's a brilliant result. Well done on the weight loss, on the 2nd place and the general fabulousness of being healthier and slimmer
Your pics are remarkable!

WOW 10 months to lose 217lb is incredible - any tips x

Focus. I knew I HAD to loose weight and so went for it. It was a combination of the food optimising principles in combination with execrcise that worked for me - without both my losses would have been significantly slower. The syns are there to be had but before you have that chocolate bar think what it means to you. And with the exercise start slowly but recognise when you are just treading water and not really pushing yourself. Though the difference between doing a three mile walk in 45 minutes and in 40 minutes doesn't sound so big your muscles will feel it and your mind will know when you have done your best.

Ian,

When you said on Wednesday about doing the parachute jump I wanted to catch up with you as the tandem jump when the parachute didn't open properly is one of my "thin" stories. Massive respect on your loss.

 

[*Cupcake*]

Fantastic weightloss and achievement - very well done indeed. An inspiration!

Ian,

When you said on Wednesday about doing the parachute jump I wanted to catch up with you as the tandem jump when the parachute didn't open properly is one of my "thin" stories. Massive respect on your loss.

I'm not sure i want to know - at least not until after July 31st anyhow... After (foolishly?) admitting to it on Wednesday I kind of had no escape route (i was meant to do the jump in March but had to put it off due to illness) - so have now booked it.
