edited September 2024 in Success Stories
In December 2007 my Mum got married. I was a bridesmaid... a fat bridesmaid

A few days later we celebrated Christmas and I was fairly unhappy with this picture:

So I went on a diet...

...some time later, I had lost quite a lot of weight!

This was taken at the start of the summer 2010 (June I think)

And here are a couple from Sept 2010, in Rome on Holiday : )

    I dont know if cute was the word, but I would be inclined to agree that I look better and do feel happier thinner!

    You all make me smile : ) can't wait to post pics when I have reached my target.

    Still have another 2 stone (28lb) to go! I'm quite tall (5ft 10 1/2) and have a large frame (so I can apparantly carry it well), but still have a bit of work to do to get out of that "overweight" range.

    One day soon.

    Hopefully for my next birthday (March 24th)

    Thanks again for the positive feedback, every story I read on this site inspires me. I love reading about all the different journeys. You are all brilliant!
