    Today marks exactly one year since I started my weight loss efforts. I began because I was fed up of being held back by my body. I was embarrassed and ashamed of what I had grew up to be. I felt uncomfortable constantly and was adamant my life would be drastically improved if I was smaller and fitter.

    I was right!

    Start Weight: 302lbs/137kg
    Current Weight:185lbs/84kg
    Total lost in 1 year: 117lbs/53kg
    I am female, 22 years old, 5’6”.

    I still have around 14kgs to go before I reach my goal weight, but I’m really happy with the progress I’ve made in just one year.

    I’ve lost the weight through calorie counting (around 1300 cals a day) and focusing on a high protein diet, drinking at least 3 litres of (flavoured) water every day, and exercising. Mostly, I swim. In fact – I’ve swam 13,202 lengths since I started!

    I don’t claim to have a particularly ‘clean’ diet. I eat a packet of crisps and a ‘low fat/healthy living’ chocolate yoghurt every day, but I make sensible choices and prioritise making my lifestyle sustainable and not depriving myself.

    I am very happy to offer help or support to anyone who wants it – you can drop me a message on here or email me at miaa030892@gmail.com

    If I can do it, anyone can!

    Awesome job.
    You look great!!!
