It has taken me a bit of time to get to this point, it hasn't been easy but I'm very proud I have gotten here. I joined MFP in November 2010 after attending our biggest Race event of the year and seeing my photo. I loved my dress and fascinator but I hated looking at the person wearing it, I didn't recognise myself anymore. I wanted the old me back so I decided to get serious, enough was enough!

My Starting weight was 153 pounds (69.5 Kg) I'm 5 2" (160cm)

First Goal weight was 125.6 pounds (57 Kg) This is what I weighed before I had my Daughter in 2006 I reached this in June 2011

Second Goal weight is 121 pounds (55 Kg) which is what I weighed when I got married back in 1998.

I have reached 122 pounds (55.5 kg) and now have 1 pound (1/2 kg) to go and that sucker is sticking to me like glue!!!! LOL

Last week I attended the same Race function that produced my "This has to stop moment" a year ago and I'm thrilled to share the photo's from this year. I look at these photo's and it's me again, YEAH I'M BACK!!
I love MFP and all my friends on here that have helped me to succeed in my goal, I couldn't do it with out it. I feel fantastic, I'm the fittest I've ever been in my life and I'm never going back! Thanks for having a look at my post and I wish you all the best on your lifestyle change, if you feel like a new friend please send me a friend request.
