in Success Stories
I have been trying to pluck up the courage to post my small success story for a couple of weeks. I’m always wowed by the amazing successes of other posters who have often lost >100 lbs! My loss is relatively small in comparison at 10lbs - this took me a whole 6 months, but the cms lost have been the biggest achievement for me.

I was recently on holiday in France and for the first time in my whole life, was not ashamed of how I looked on the beach. I can honestly say that I am happy with how I look, and I have never felt that way before. It is an amazing feeling. Now for maintenance ;-)

    There is no such thing as a small NSV! Congrats on feeling better about yourself :)

    You are beautiful in your first picture and in your second, you're both beautiful AND healthier!

    Mostly people have not noticed the change in me either, it's mostly just myself, in the end that's the most important opinion ;-)

    A more accurate way to put this would be the great reduction in your body fat percentage. While you may have only lost 10lbs, you look much more fit. Congrats & keep it up!

    You look amazing! It seems as though 10lbs to you meant a drastic change in measurements/overall fitness. :)

    Yeah I wish I had actually measured and taken more photos before I started. Of course....before I started I never like being photographed!
