After a few months of not counting~

Hiya guys!

I'm hoping you're doing good.
I always wanted to write one post in this section of the page and I think I am now at a stage where I can.

So I started on this website because I was overweight. When I hit the 74kg mark, I started worrying not only about my looks but also my health. During the Easter holiday I was already trying to get slimmer, I decided to cut meat out of my diet. This lasted for about a month. And then, on the 2nd of May 2012 I registered on this website.

The calorie cutting plan... yeah, I have tried it before. I've been on a website similar to MFP but on the forums there I was advised to pick a particular diet. Which, as you can imagine, ended nowhere.
When I came here... it was like I discovered a whole new way to do things. I found out that there's a lot of people that are trying to lose weight, whether it's 5 pounds or 100, with encouragement they achieve their way.

So I tracked for some time and when I saw change I just continued. I was happy that I was finally losing the weight and I was hoping that once it is off, it will stay off. And that pretty much brings me to today.
I'm now sat here, my weight hovering at about 59kg, getting compliments (and feeling weird about them! XD). I finally feel that I've achieved something. And it's not just anything, it's a complete change in my body. Now that I take much more pride in it, I can't remember when I last heard I was fat and ugly.

(Oh dear was my hair long in June XD)
