21year old who is 135lb and not 191lb!

Hi!

So in September I went on my first ever holiday abroad. I was soooo excited and I took lots of photos to capture those wonderful memories. Little did I know that it would be these photos that would make me change my life forever.

My name is Evelyn, I am very nearly 21 and a university student in London. I live with my partner David in a lovely little flat, and we have been together for 6 years now. He has known me when I was at my biggest, and now at my littlest, and I have to say that I would not have been able to do any of this without his constant support...I mean he even eats Cauliflower Rice with me now :laugh:

MFP has become part of my life now also, and I feel that the key to my weightloss has been to pre log my food a day in advance. If my food is already logged then when I wake up I know exactly how my day will go, I know what I will be enjoying and at what times. This approach may be too structured for some people, but it worked for me.

I stuck to a diet of around 1200-1300 calories a day, and during the first 5months I was getting losses of around 2lb a week, at the end it did start to come off more slowly, but I was in no rush to reach my goal so I didn't mind. I also exercised around 5 times a week, for around 20-30minutes. I completed my first ever 5k a month or so back and managed a time of 38minutes which I was ecstatic about, as I had never done any running before I started my training.

The biggest NSV I have to date is that in February I went bridesmaid dress shopping and had to have a size 16 bought for me. The said wedding is now 2 days away and the dress has had to be exchanged for a SIZE 12!!! And the best bit...that dress still has to be taken in at the waist :laugh:


Please feel free to add me as a friend or to message me if you need any help, especially if you are a student and are finding your journey a struggle.

Here is a link to my facebook picture album of my weight loss, I hope it works for you all :flowerforyou:
