Hey folks
I've seen so many inspirational stories on this and I'll be honest, I used to be one those people who wondered "how do they do it?" I've tried every diet in the book and the results were always the same, Id end up heavier than I started and the vicious cycle would begin again.. .
The pic below is what I used to look like and this particular pic was taken exactly 1 year ago today ...
Now you'd think that would be motivation enough to try and lose weight but it wasn't and I went on another 4 months carrying an outrageous amount of weight. I cant even say it was anything in particular that triggered my loss because it wasn't, I just woke up one day and thought enough was enough! I joined the gym in April and enlisted a personal trainer
This pic below was day 1 of my lifestyle change ... as you can see i was pretty big :sad:
I've taken some various pics throughout my journey and I've posted them below:
Sorry the pics are the best but you get the idea of the transformation I've gone through.
I'm at a point in my life when being fat isn't acceptable to me anymore and I want my old body back to match my "pretty" face as I'm told.
Been working out now continuously for 7 months and so far I've lost 104 llbs and 83.7 inches all round. I feel amazing, I feel like I can take on the world and I feel I want more!
Going from doing nothing to working out 7 days a week has changed my life for the better, my fitness has improved, I am never sick! Suffered from headaches and migraines for years and have not had one since I started my lifestyle change. I'm a much more tolerable person to be around now I'm told lol ( cheeky swines ) I'm happy, cheerful and loving life! That's something that no amount of money can buy!
I spin 5 times a week, Body Pump and TRX classes once a week and now I'm a Metafit nut!! and LOVING IT!! I Mix in some Insanity and now starting P90x - need to change it up all the time!! My personal training is worth her weight in GOLD! She has helped me change my life!!! Exercise has changed my life!
Next stage is cleaning up my diet, I am a lover of all things McDonalds especially my long standing love affair with Big Macs! Not quite ready to jack them in yet but I could be doing with cleaning up my fat intake.
I wanted to post this because everybody is capable of greatness if you just put your mind to it! I never thought I could do it but now I'll never give up and I'll never go back to being fat again! I've still got about 40-60 llbs left to lose and tone up so you'll be seeing me again when I'm at goal weight.
In terms of sizes I started at a UK 28 and I'm now a comfortable 14/16 my goal is a UK 10! I'm 5'7 too so dont want go too small so i can keep my curves!
Happy New Year and make 2014 a great one!!!
Thanks for looking peeps!!!

This is my second MFP profile, as the first time, after logging in for 200+ days in a row, my life sorta fell apart personally, and I couldnt keep up with anything, including the 30 lbs I had lost from Jan-June last year. SO inspiring!! Thank You! You show me that there is hope! I am like you in that people always tell me I have a pretty face, etc...I know if I lose the weight, I could HOT lol. Thank you!0
