The change isn't drastic but I promised myself I'd put some pics of me 'out there' when I reached my first goal of getting into the '10 stones'... so here I am at 10 stone 10 lbs (150lbs/68.3kg) and feeling pretty good about myself!

I started off in March of this year (2012) at around 180lb and felt horrible :( I've wanted to lose weight for as long as I can remember but never had the motivation or dedication to do it.

This is me on/around my birthday last year, 5th December:

And this is me today, about a week away from my next birthday and about 30lbs lighter!

As I said, not the biggest change in the world (i think it all came off my chins!) but I'm definitely on my way - I hope there's a little bit of difference but not many people have commented so I'm not sure...! Either way at 5 foot 7 I've gone from a UK 14/16 to a UK 12 in most clothes and have lost 5 inches off my waist (34.5 to 29.5 inches). I'm feeling much healthier and happier and have changed my outlook on food completely! The last two months I completely forgot about calorie counting and yet didn't gain a pound which I guess is proof that I've changed how I naturally eat.

Anyway... thanks for looking! I'll post more pics when I hit the next goal of 140lbs!

    Be proud!! There is a great difference, like the above said you just can't see it. You took it nice and slow over a good part of the year so those who see you all the time may not be paying close enough attention. I bet if you run into someone who hasn't seen you in a while they will notice immediately. Great job!!

    Wow everyone thank you for your comments! I know posting pics like this is so narcissistic but I'm really proud of myself and I guess just wanted a bit of reassurance that I was doing well! You've all made me feel lovely :)

    p.s sorry for the crap quality of the pictures of me in my purple dress (and the closed eyes!) - it's the dress I'm going to wear out for dinner next week and my mum wanted to take some quick snaps of me in it!
