40lbs down! 13lbs to go! (with pics)

Ms_Natalie

Hiya everyone!
I joined MFP in April 2010 and have lost 40lbs in weight. I love this site and it's the first time I have ever lost weight sensibly and healthily.

I'm getting married in November this year :happy: and so I'm on the final stretch to lose the last stone (13lbs)

However, I have become complacent with my weight loss and I'm finding this last stone really difficult to lose. I'm also getting a little fed up with people telling me I really shouldn't lose anymore. :grumble: I think this is more to do with them seeing me as still being the Natalie in the first picture and they're still not used to my new size.

I know that the success stories used to help me keep up the great work, so hopefully these pics will do the same for others.

This is me New Years Eve 2009/2010. Approx 195lbs!



This was taken in October 2010 at Halloween. (approx 158lbs)



Now, at 152lbs....My problem area is my tummy and I'm hoping the final 13lbs will shift this.



Good Luck everyone and keep up the great work. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Way to go! You look fabulous! Don't let others determine your goal....that should be between you and the doctor. (they are probably jealous anyway!) Keep eating healthy and livin' positively....you'll hit that goal.

Looking good, girl! Don't listen to the haters... sometimes they don't want you to be the pretty one!! At least that's what I tell myself!

Keep up the amazing work, and congrats on the wedding coming up!

You look fantastic! The same thing happened when I came very close to my goal weight last time (before I had my 3rd child), and it was tough to hear because I started to believe them. You do look fantastic - but if you want to hit your goal, do it and don't look back!!! I only think people say things like that because they are used to you at a bigger weight and it's hard to picture for them and they also love you and want you to be careful you don't overdo it. That's how it was for me anyhow. Fantastic job - you look so good!
