5 stone baby!!! xxx

Options
Hello my lovelies :-*

Well I stepped on the scales today... And OH.MY.GOSH! HUGE moment.... I HAVE HIT THAT 5 STONE MARK!!! 5 stone and 1lb to be precise! ( that 1lb means ALOT ) yay me!

It all started last year when I put on 45lbs due to epilepsy and I got to 206lb.. I am 5ft 8 so I guess I carried it well but I had seizures, I split from my partner in Feb 2010 and even though at the time I was working I was unhappy. Comfort eating as I THOUGHT I missed him, I THOUGHT I was a ugly mare, I THOUGHT I was a right flumptious mare with the world on her shoulders etc, I lost my job due to epilepsy in Augest 2010, I lost my great nan in September 2010 who was my angel and I went down hill.... Then one day I woke up, realized ACTUALLY I CAN do better then the t**t I was with, I wanted to make my great nanny proud and put my gypsy style roots back in me, ( clothing wise NOT behaviour wise! ) I CAN rule epilpesy and my health and not let IT RULE ME, so I cut down on portion sizes, got the wii fit and started The Biggest Loser Challenge :-) !! I won`t lie I have cried, I have felt like giving up and all I hear in my head some days is Jillian Micheals Voice Saying ` DON`T YOU BE QUITTING ON ME ` ( Bloody women lol!! ) But hey... That voice of hers is soooo worth it!

I lost the weight rather quick and got down to 153lb but kinda stalled. My papa - My rock told me about this site and here I am AUGEST 2011 - I am now 135.9lb - 18lb later and I am 2.9 lb from 9 stone 7 and I am a rather happy lady! I could not have done the last 18lb without MFP family. I have grown really close to a few people and I love them heaps! xxx Zara, the two Sarahs, Mary, Dee and my friends across the ocean... You lovelies are the BEST! XXX XXX

Love you lots just like jelly tots! xxxx <3 xxxx

Keep up the hard work and you are all truely inspirational, motivational people!

Remember - if you don`t lose - MEASURE THOSE INCHES, KEEP DRINKING THAT WATER AND NEVER GIVE UP IF YOU HAVE A CRAP DAY.. I still have them but I still keep going :-*

And my greatest NSV yet? I saw my ex in the hospital ( we used to work together ) ... He saw me, tried to talk, could NOT take his face away from me ( I NEVER praise myself up ) I just looked, thought WTF did I see in THAT and then the grotesque ***** who he cheated on me with came along and he turned to her and I simply said ....` I think your dog wants her lead again before she starts barking `



MWAH XXX

    I laughed out loud at this. That is the point isn't it? It is not the weight so much as the confidence that you have gained when you regained control of your life. This was a very inspirational story. Thanks for sharing.

    Aw your making me cry. In a good way though. Im an emotional train wreck at the moment ha ha. Your more like my twin than my actual real life twin. lol. I know i can do this, with your support along the way too. MFP has been a wonderful discovery for me and finding you as a friend has been the cherry on top!I wont change i promise! Yes you know what im like and im trying to learn to slow down lol. You put up with your fair share of my low days too, things are gonna keep getting better and better for us because we sooooo deserve it! love ya xxxx
    P.S your one of the most beautiful people i have met also, inside and out! x
