Well i'm down to 14stone 8lbs now. That's a loss of 6stone 8lbs from my top weight of 21st 2lbs.
From size 40 to size 34 jeans.
From XXXL to L in shirts & polos.
What a feeling!
I may have another stone left to lose. I can see the beginning of stomach muscles coming through although I still have some belly to get rid of!
I can remember when I felt a bit off/a bit groggy/ a bit not myself on a night out about a year ago, I looked at myself in the mirror of a bar toilet to see a fat, lightly sweating run down man looking back at me.
I did the same recently when I felt a bit off colour, I looked in the mirror and saw a healthy young man looking back at me causing me to be absolutely beam. The night was going to be a cracker anyway because I was with friends whom I absolutely adore, but that moment could have turned a terrible night into a superb one!
The physio (post knee surgery again!) has given me the nod to start running on soft ground again from next week. So that should open up a whole new avenue of fitness.
I was right when I posted back in August, this is the big one. and I've almost done it. My god it's been worth it!
I never realised how much I used to miss out on. It took losing all this weight to realise it. I used to turn down nights out where I knew there'd be lots of people because I couldn't deal with any attention. Now i'm more than happy to be the centre of attention (on occasions, i'm not an attention whore!)
I rarely spoke to women because i felt awkward and embarrassed, even though i didn't really realise this until now. What a change - I'm now getting the mickey taken from the lads because I spend a lot of my time on nights out with their girlfriends and other women! The amount of confidence when you feel fit has absolutely astonished me.
It's such a good story to have as well. Oh by the way I lost 6stone and 8lbs and it's completely changed my life!
SUUUUUUPERB FEELING!
If you're reading this and wondering if you should start, or why you can't lose weight. You can, I made it the most important thing in my life and it worked. Now I'm reaping the benefits and it's absolutely amazing!
