10 months, 1 trainer & over 200 visits to the gym.....

10 months, 1 personal trainer and over 200 gym visits......
See my previous blogs for the whole story. If you can't, then message me and I will try to open them.

The Title says it all really. These pics are a culmination of the last 10 months of sustained effort. I am proof that literally most people can eventually get round to being healthy and losing the weight. It has taken me over 30 years of trying every diet in the land. I knew everything, but I knew nothing.

I have lost 98lb (UK - 7stone) in this time, my waist has gone down 30.5cm, my thigh 15cm, my arm 9.5cm. I have lost over 10% body fat so far. I haven't finished, but I wanted to share to give you hope if you, like me, have been struggling and wishing there was a miracle out there that would melt the weight off. There isn't. Knuckle down, find a plan and stick to it. Nobody can do this for you. It's all in your hands.

Good luck. Messages or friend requests are welcome.

Here's some pix

    Forgot to say - I don't really do Cardio, I need a knee replacement (bone on bone) so this has been achieved with weightlifting and nutrition.

    Glad you posted this. I am sitting here with a knee that I can not walk on. I have been wondering what exercise I can do without involving my knee. You have done a wonderful job and you give me hope. I am proud of you and you look wonderful. Beautiful! I am sending you a friend request, maybe you can put me in the right direction.

    Fantastic, in fact even more so due to the fact that you have knee problems and still managed to achieve this.
