Know it doesn't seem like a lot....

PlatinumPiggy

But to me it's a bit of personal success.
I have to congratulate those who have lost a lot of weight so this may not seem like a lot to anyone.
I wrote my first blog entry on this yesterday. The before pics were me before I used to gym. I would starve myself most days and binge on weekends, I was addicted to diet pills and so unhappy. Now I eat clean food 5 times a day, mostly lean protein, veg, complex carbs and good fats, go to the gym 5 days a week and dont beat myself up if I have a bad day but I do allow myself one or 2 cheat meals a week and I eat all my exercise calories. I wish I could drum into every woman alive that starving yourself doesnt work!!! I'm eating more than ever (good foods) and am fitter, leaner, stronger, happier and healthier than ever before.
My hair is blonder and I did get my teeth done but my teeth were something that ALWAYS bothered me my whole life and getting them done gave me a whole new lease on life. See below for before and after........

THIS IS ME BEFORE

AFTER- (i can see a difference in my skin and eyes!! I know body change is too much to some but to me it is. try look past the fake teeth and blonde hair)

just an FYI for next time you just needed to lower case the IMG's

You look awesome!! You look so much healthier in the after photo's, your skin, your hair is shinier and healthier looking, your eyes ....I can see such a difference in how healthy eating vs. diet pills effected your body. Good for you for making the changes...well worth it!! I wish everyone could understand what you've shared and dump the pills, hormone shots, and magic noodles etc. to find that magic is simply eating well and exercising like you did!!:drinker: :flowerforyou:

Great job making healthy choices definitely paid off:flowerforyou:

Fixed the links for you

Edited to add: But then I deleted them since someone beat me to it :laugh:

You look great! Don't minimize your success just because a huge numbe isn't connected to it :flowerforyou:

You look so much more confident, and your skin looks much better!

I love your teeth, they are great - if you don't mind me asking, where did you get them done? I hate my teeth! lol

Pictures aside [you do look fab, btw], the changes you made are A LOT to be proud of! Congrats on breaking that cycle of diet pills/starvation/binging. That alone is enough to give yourself a huge pat on the back.

I got them done in Richmond, Surrey in England. 6 porcelain veneers. I'll have them paid off in Feb 2011-so worth it!!

Thank you!! I know on my sig my SW is 58kg but that was when I started MFP.... My highest was prob about 62kg so have lost about 6 or 7kg's!
so like 15lbs.... god writing that down seems weird because i never thought about it like that. to all those out there that small amount can make SUCH a difference

WOW! You look awesome (especially the last shot... I wish we had nice beaches here in Alberta so the phrase "bikini season" could be more motivating than it is)... great job!!
