6 Months on

SimonLondon

It was the 6th December 2009 that I finally wanted to take control of my life. I knew a diet wasn't going to cut it and it needed to be a complete lifestyle change.

In December I was 185lb with a 38" waist. I'm now 142lb with a 32" waist and I'm just a couple of pound off my final goal.

That 43lb was hard to come off but I wanted to do it slow and right instead of going for quick and wrong. Over the last 6 months I have discovered many new foods I enjoy but this site was the real winner for me. Once I could see how bad food can really be and how a lot of the "healthy foods" were not (non-fat foods rammed full of sugar for example) it was a lot easier to know what I needed to avoid or eat in greater moderation.

I still have the odd treat or meal out but it is now a moderated teat day instead of an non-moderated eat-fest like I used to have every single day.

This site is amazing and so are all of you! Without you and this site it would have been so much harder!
