Good morning, all :D
It's finals week and I'm procrastinating!

Starting weight: 185lbs. (the before picture is 4.5lbs less, but that doesn't make a difference)
Current weight/Lowest weight: 128.6lbs

I'm not nearly done-- I'm trying to get to 100lbs (I'm 5'1.5", don't lecture me on healthy BMIs and realistic goals etc.-- I'm tired of hearing it). I'm currently trying to maintain 128 for a few days and then get down to 125 by the end of December, which should be fun... But yeah. It's still hard to see a change or even feel one.

I can't believe my calves used to touch. Working on a full gap, there. Muahaha.

    Thank you so much :) I cut out bread/pasta/rice/cereals (and I rarely eat them now), and I'm pretty much a pescetarian otherwise! I started playing rugby, and I go to the gym with varying frequency :P Just eatin' like a bird and gettin' off my butt I guess, haha.

    Wow! You look AMAZING!!! :heart:

    My only advice would be to continue to track your progress with photos, because as lean as you are now, I can't see where you could possibly remove another 28 pounds. You might reach your ideal body before you reach your ideal weight.
  • You have done a fantastic job. WTG!

    Firstly, thank you so much, everyone! This is so motivating! Sometimes I really need a kick in the butt when I can't see how far I've come.

    <3 many thanks. I'm still quite jiggly, I assure you :laugh: I forgot to take a side picture before I drank tea and got all bloaty :grumble:

    It really was the hardest thing for me to do. It's easiest (or rather was easiest for me) just to go cold turkey. Give up the bread, chain it up, what ever needs be done, and then once you've realized you don't need it and that it doesn't "control" you, slowly reintroduce it into your diet. Takes time.
  • You did an amazing job and you're an inspiration! Thanks for sharing.
