I'm 90 days 'on my way', to a healthier and slimmer life. Lost over 35 pounds by now (weigh in tomorrow ;) )
and this is how that looks...

First picture was taken on oktober 22 when my mini was brought to my place. Second picture was taken a few days ago, on februari 7th, walking with my mare.

And this is how that looks in a T-shirt... (the last one was taken last night, haven't put my weight on that one yet but that's about 215.5 lbs now, weigh in tomorrow)

    Good Job!!!! You are certainly on your way and that's awesome! Your mare is lovely, BTW! I used to board my horse at a barn that had minis. I enjoyed working with them, the trainer showed them halter and driving.
    Keep up the awesome work! :)

    Looking good!

    What changes have you made in your daily life?? Excercise, portion control, avoiding specific foods???

    Thanks everyone :D It sure makes me feel good about myself that I'm finally succeeding in losing weight.

    Soniabogonia, I didn't change that much actually. I just started logging my food here and after two days I saw that, although I wasn't eating large amounts of food, I could make better choises in the things that I ate, so that's what I'm doing. In general that means less snacking and eating between meals, I try to stay low on carbs but most of the time I eat pretty 'normal'. I don't exercise much because of my bad ankle, I will go to the gym to build musscle and tone my body when I've lost some more so I'll have less weight on the ankle. I do walk with my dogs a lot and of course have my chores at the barn and walk with my horse. I'm not riding her yet 'cause I told myself I can't ride here unless I've lost enough weight. I have to reach 90 kg. before I'm 'allowed' to ride her (she's a pony of just 14.1 hh ). For now that's working, I know I probably will have to work harder to lose weight once I get closer to my goal but so far I've lost an average of 2 pounds a week so that's fast enough.
