I know I JUST posted the other day about my crazy pants comparison but today I hit a HUGE milestone. In August 2011 when I started, I was 5'8" and 270 pounds. When I stepped onto the scale today, I saw this.

That's 40.1% of my body weight - GONE.

    Move more. Eat less. :-)

    Seriously though, tracking my food and exercising every day.

    Holy crap, you're a terminator!! :flowerforyou:

    I hope you don't mind my asking (it's personal, I know) and please feel free to tell me to rack off and mind my own... but I have very similar amounts / starting shape to you and would like to know....:blushing:

    I observe in your before picture you have quite...*ahem* a generous, lovely rack. Of boobs. You clearly still have a full chest, but I'm curious if the weight-loss has messed with them much? Do you have much loose skin?

    Again, sorry to be forward and probably a bit rude... I've just noticed that, though I started with a similar 'set up' to you, 12kgs down and I've already lost a full cup size...

    Congrats again. You almost made me teary! :noway:
