woo this is going to be a long reply post as so many of you left some amazing words <3
Well done for posting, you will probably notice a difference even in a few weeks and it's a great idea to take pics and measurements. Lovely underwear too haha!

Thanks for commenting Danni
I guess the rest is up to me really, Just keep on with the diet, and later on down the line take pictures again and look to see If I can see a difference
hahaha thanks!

Lucie - you brave brave girl. Dont cry hun, why should you ? Maybe its not the pic you were looking for but thats you - and we all like you how you are. Your BF likes and loves you how you are. Yourself love yourself as you are. Look at your post in your blog. Do not let photos to get you down.
I have plenty photos like this, but not brave enough to post it into internet. Those photos will be your stones. Every time you lose little weight you can do new photos and see if you can notice difference and I promise you - you will see difference one day. All you need to do - is wait that day to come =) it will hun
As you know our starting weight is almost the same. few pounds difference. You starting photos look way better then mine. Honest. Its not so bad as you may think at first. I believe , you will be pleased with your after photos =) Look at yourself hun, you dont have huge legs or hips , not have you huge arms. This is all into you advantage, you are young- your skin is young and will pull back nicely. I promise you - when you have another 2,5 stones and you will compare photos then , you will be amazed And its only few weeks away ( ok, maybe few more then few ) - Buy Christmas you will be more hot, sexy and beautiful young women you are . So dont you dare to cry over something that you will never ever see on photos ever again. Smile girl and world will smile back to you
Thanks Rita <3 I think I cried because I was ashamed, I talk a good game about being body confident and loving the skin I'm in when in reality I only love it when I can cover it, when clothes can smooth over my wobbly bits and taking those pictures I was just gobsmacked, When was the last time I'd actually looked at myself naked in the mirror and not breathed in, just stood there with it all out so to speak. I was horrified. It certainly made me glad I was on this journey. I may love myself but I think I loved myself a little less yesterday after I saw those pictures. I know this was the first stepping stone, taking my before picture and I can only hope with every photo I take after it will look better than this one and I know it will
Love that " by Christmas you will be more hot sexy and beautiful " Thats certainly something to hold onto and look forward too
Thank you so so much Rita, For taking the time to write such a lovely comment <3 It means the world to me xxx
You are so brave for doing this so well done to you, don't cry my lovely, you are starting a new stage in your life x
I have taken pictures of me now and was also upset but I see this as a useful motivation tool now x
Thanks Starfish, I think it will be a useful tool too, just had to get over the initial thought like, Jee whiz I really am big ya know? Only I can get rid of the lbs and stones so onwards and downwards
xxx Hope your meds have kicked in, I'll pop by your thread a lil later and send you some love <3 xx
I think you are extremely brave. I really want to do this but am such a wuss.
You will really appreciate having them in a few months time. You look a very similar shape to me ... you must be taller though. This is only going to be your body shape for a short while longer and then this is all you will have to remind yourself how far you have come. I completely understand why you feel like crying as I feel the same but you are already well on your way to changing your life and you know this. Stay positive and remember that you are inspirational.

Hi lovely, I'm glad I did it, I wouldn't say I feel vindicated or anything, It's lovely getting so many beautiful comments granted, But I think it was just another hurdle I had to jump over to carry on with my loss. Starting the diet was one thing, but Acceptance of my current size, and using it as a tool to help me shred this fat off. I'm 5'3 and looking at your profile it says you're 5'5 so I'm actually a little shorter than you
Thanks for your lovely message hun, Lets stay positive and inspirational together

Not much of a poster on this but I read a lot of threads, just read yours from the very beginning and it's amazing....well done on your amazing weight loss so far!! You have some serious willpower and I'm really looking forward to keeping up to date on your journey. I don't know how you do it!
I'm 26 and started at a v high weight too, 21st10lbs. My weight loss has been v slow and has completely stalled in the past year..have only lost 7lbs in the last 6 months. I currently weigh 256lbs and have done since January and finding it impossible to shift any more which I know it crazy but I am ridiculously easily tempted...think I'm just a real food addict with no willpower.
Well done for putting up the pics too, you should be proud. I put some up too but no headshots for me as I'm a scaredy cat. Hopefully being relatively young will be on our side with the weight loss.
Anyway, I just wanted to know that I'm LOVING your diary and hopefully you're great work will help motivate me a little
Well firstly, Hi beauty, And thankyou for taking the time to post despite not being much of a poster, It means more than you know! Read it from the beginning! Thats some dedication lol, I daren't read it all haha, would take you a good while
I think if I'm honest, I draw alot of willpower and strength from the forums, I see others journey both people who weigh more than me and less and I see them shredding stones and I get motivated reading their posts about going on walks or eating a certain healthy meal and I wanna do the same, So I comment and make contact and next thing you know I'm writing posts about what I'm doing and then others are commenting on mine like you've done and its that circle of life haha, Their inspiring me and I'm inspiring you and than you will inspire someone else and in the end, its a whole forum of people inspiring and being inspired and that is the recipe for determination for me. I get excited about setting mini goals, I think about winning slimmer of the week in my meeting and I get excited that I get to run on here and for lack of a better word, Show off that I lost 8.5lbs in a week because everyone single person that reads it on here will know how hard I worked to get that, How much effort went into food preperation and sticking to the diet etc and when they come and give me a pat on the back and tell me well done and show that support, how could I not want to do it all over again next week? ya know?
haha I'm sure it sounds silly to you, but i'd kill to be YOUR weight, and I'd kill to have YOUR figure. I'd wear a bikini to the pool if I had your figure. We can all be someones inspiration and not know it
What diet are you following? have you thought about starting a mini thread to jot down your meals, let members gee you on. I'd certainly give it some thought as it could give you that wheelpower and determination you need to lose the weight
xxxxx
Wow well done you it takes a lot to post pictures your not happy with , you are so brave its inspirational u will achieve everything you set your mind too hunny and one day look back on those photos and realise how far you have come much love x
Hi Kim <3 Thanks so much for commenting lovely, I can't wait till that day comes when I can post new pictures after I've lost more weight and to the point where you can easily noticed a difference. THAT day is worth working so so hard for. Thankyou so so much Kim

Morning lovely xx
Haven't been round much this weekend, life happens I guess.......but I've come bk to see your photo post and hv to say 1) you're beautiful 2) you're brave as hell & 3) you should feel so blooming proud of your journey so far & you're clearly so determined to do this xxx
We've all cried about how we look at some point or another, let it out x but at the same time, remember you're now doing something about it.......and seeing results!!!
Hv a fab week hun, let's do this!!! XLx

Morning Gorgeous! Hope you have had a lovely weekend! Yes life does happen and we have to enjoy it
1. Thankyou very much and 2 + 3, I am pretty proud of what I've done so far, and I AM determined, The only way forward is to lose weight, No going back now. There are far too many gorgeous skimpy thongs and lovely clothes to buy when I get my new body
Have a lovely week do babe, Going to pop over and give your thred some love, Don't think I have yet! being a bad friend there! <3 xxxx
Just curious as to what plan you're following as I'm wondering why you get 25 syns a day I started at 22st 7lbs and have always been on 105. Just want to make sure you're right about this so it doesn't effect your loss.
I hun, The lady who holds my meeting told me I got 25 syns, even wrote it in my book. I'm not sure what the cut off period is, I started at 24 st 1lbs, She told me in the meeting they will always refer to it as 15 and for me to not tell the others but I thought Id say it on here just incase someone else saw it and thought they could have 25 ya know? I must admit I dont think any of the days I've had my full 25 aside yesterday and I did put on a pound this morning according to my scales so I think when I go in next wednesday I'll ask her to double check as I've obviously lost weight aswell now, it might have gone down. I figured she would tell me when it goes down so didn't even think about that till now! Thanks for questioning it! haha

Well done for posting those pics Hun you're so brave , I think sometimes you have to be emotional about it otherwise you don't have the motivation if you know what I mean? You're beautiful girl don't forget that - I'd rather have your face than my weight any day xxx
Hi babe, I think you are right, It's because the pics upset me, they will give me strength to do better and work harder to lose the weight. You are so lovely, haha, Having your figure is like my goal so I'd be happy to trade this face for that body any day
It's all relative though, I think we all hate the skin we're in sometimes, We can all want to change things
