Over half way there....

I logged in this morning and today is my 90th day! Can't believe how fast this time has flown by. I started this journey approaching my 30th birthday and decided that I finally needed to do something to lose weight that I have basically been ignoring for a long time. The weight has been creeping up and up and I hit 192 lbs which I couldn't believe.

90 days in and I have lost 27.3lbs over half way to my goal! I'm so close to losing 2 stone (28lbs) and I never thought I would have been able to do it! The friends I have made on here, the mini goals I set myself and the challenges I am taking part in are a huge factor in my success so far.

I had a little dip yesterday but decided to take my measurements this morning and was so surprised at my results that I wanted to share them with everyone and to tell those that are struggling that YOU CAN DO THIS!! I'm not normally one to share such personal information but if by posting this it helps and encourages even one person then it's worth it...

Ribs - 7.9cm/3.11"s
Waist - 14cm/5.5"
Hips - 13cm/5.1"
Left thigh - 5cm/1.97"
Right thigh - 4.5cm/1.77"

Total loss - 40.4cm which is 15.9inches!!!!! :happy:

That translates to dropping 2 dress sizes and now needing to go shopping! I haven't quite got to grips with photo bucket yet but will try and post some pics later.

I still have a LONG way to go but I'm not giving up and am learning more about myself everyday. I have changed the way I think about food and know that this will be a lifestyle changes as opposed to a faddy diet. I never thought this was possible but by changing eating habits and exercising I've got this far. I have learned that there are no secrets to successful weightloss other than perseverance and determination to reach your goals.

Everyone on here continues to inspire me and I just want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to all my friends on here for your continued encouragement. We may not have ever met in person and may never but I couldn't have got this far without you! :flowerforyou:

    Excellent results, you should be really proud of yourself. Thank you for sharing your loss with us, I was having a bad day today and was very tempted by the staff biscuit tin but have just read your post and it has stopped me from diving in. So yes you have certainly helped someone today, thank you so much. Good luck with your lifestyle changes. :flowerforyou:
