Thank you all these responses are really motivating, thanks!

You look fantastic, and are a true inspiration to me :happy:

Can I just ask, did you also do exercise for your loss (other than normal daily routine) or was it simply calorie deficit alone?

Hi
It's been a struggle for me to do alot of exercise 'cause I'm slack.
The first 5kgs was simply but having a job that required me to walk more.
I began doing a program called Lite n Easy where they deliver your food to you, that was a 1200 cal plan, I lost my next 7-8kgs doing this in only 2 months, no exercise.
Then the Lite n Easy stopped working, I went off of it, gained a kilo or two then refocused my goals and starting creating my own eating plan very similar to the lite n easy one but my own variation of it. I eat ALOT of food now compared to my old eating habits (Toast for breakfast, vegemite sandwich for lunch, whatever for dinner, no snacks) and now I have a LOVE for food, I love food, I love eating, I love creating new recipes and throwing things together, this to me is the most important thing besides weightloss, is being happy with myself and knowing food is not my enemy. My goal now is 1700 cals a day, I eat around 1500 but if I eat up to 1700 I don't feel guilty. Right now, i mainly walk, comfortable pace for an hour or so, or a brisk walk for 30 minutes. I live by the beach so my partner and I will go for strolls along the beach that can last for two hours but it never feels hard or like exercise because I'm just having fun and playing fetch with the dog etc. I was going to the gym 5 nights a week at one stage, lost a kilo in the first week and then every week after that I was losing nothing, I'm losing more with just walking, but I still throw in weight sessions at the gym to tone up I find walking and weight training alot easier and more attainable then full on cardio (for me that is).
