I posted a similar topic in october, but have lost some more since. I am losing my last stone now...and its getting reallllllly hard! I have now lost a total of 130lbs, It has taken a long time but its so worth it. my life genuinely is better now in so many ways. i like myself a lot more!!

The story so far....

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 : )

What part of the weight loss was the hardest for you?

as you might expect the weight comes off very quickly at the start, which makes sense, esp for people witha LOT to lose, so i suppose the first hurdle was when the big numbers stopped coming.

there were a couple of times when i went off track for a wee while and gained a little back, its taken a few years to get here.

but to be honest. this right now is the hardest part.

I am trying to shift the last 12lbs to get to my taret weight and it just does not seem to want to budge!!!! i weigh 1lb more than i did on christmas eve, my wieght has been floating around the same 3 lbs for the last 3 months. my family and friends think my body is trying to tell me that its done losing weight! lol! but...my target weight will JUST get me to my healthy bmi. I am still getting people saying that even in the last couple of months i look smaller, but i think this might be due to toning. i gym it most days so could be compacting muscle, which would explain no loss but looking more toned!

thanks for your comments guys : )
