100lbs GONE!

Options
Hi,

I am very nervous about doing this on a public forum but I figured if I can share and help others, why not!

My name is Leeanne and I am from Australia.

Here are my stats:

Height ~ 5ft

Starting weight April 2009 ~ 287.54lbs (130.7kgs)

Current weight today ~ 186.56lbs (84.8kgs)

101.2lbs (46kg's) GONE!!

In 2009 I was at a wedding and I was the fattest person there and I was so embarrassed. I had never had a realisation like that before.
After that I decided to start walking. I would get up before everyone and go for a 30min walk. I slowly built it up to an hour.
The weight has come off consistently so that helped with motivation.
I realised that I was an over eater and my portion sizes were huge.

Fast forward 2 years and I have lost 101.2lbs through hard work, cutting down my portions and correct food choices. I still have the odd treat every now and again but in moderation.

Everyday I get up at 4:20am and walk for an hour and then go to the gym for an hour to do cardio and weights.

This is me in April 2009 at 287.54lbs (130.7kgs):

I'm not tiny but I am very happy with how I look!

    Wow!!! Thanks for sharing your story and congratulations on your success. I've hit a plateau for the last month and have been discouraged lately. The good thing is I haven't fallen off the wagon. Your story makes me realize that this is a life change and can be a long process. Thanks again for sharing. :flowerforyou:
