Hi pals,

I was just doing this for personal interest and was so surprised that I thought I would do something I would never have considered prior - post a pic (gasp!)

Left is Oct, right today. A very bumpy journey, hence my surprise. I started C25K in Oct with semi-frequent MFP logging. I confess to falling off the bandwagon repeatedly - redundancy, a trip to London for training for new job, overdoing it prior to Xmas so burning out. However, somewhere along the line I found my happy place in the world when I run and educated myself about eating back calories burned.

I have lost just over 8kg and have just under 9kg to go to be in my healthy weight range for my height (5'4). I can't wait to see what the next 3 months bring!!

    great progress, you look amazing!
    I find it surprising that you say you have 9kg until you are in your healthy weight range, as in my personal opinion, you don't look overweight at all.
    Congratulations, regardless x

    Thanks guys. I'm only 164cm and I'm 75.7kg atm so I do have a way to go. The side pics are not quite so great! I'm training a lot though so 9kg is not a definite set goal. I'll see how I feel, look and how clothes fit once I hit the 60s.

    I think you look great. I am definitely one for saying get a body fat test too. BMI can be very misleading. Keep up the great work!

    Way to go! I agree, I don't see the 9kg to lose either. Even in the side pics. I'm envious of your abs!!!

    I agree with the other posters. You look great. I don't see 9kg left but you need to do what is going to make you happy.
