    We got talking and then she ...

    Short of it is I lost 5stone between 28th August - 24th December and have been maintaining since. It has been a struggle and felt like giving up but then you get your mojo back.

    I got on the same train I've been getting for over a year and sat down next to this lady I'd smiled at for all this time but barely chatted, well we got talking and moved onto me cycling and how it must be cold etc and then she said 'it must be good exercise' I mentioned that I'd been dieting to which she replied 'I had noticed but didn't want to say anything' we chatted done more and it ended with her telling me what an inspiration I am and that I seem far too strong willed to slip back into the old regime.

    It just made me realise that it only takes one person to inspire another to succeed, so even at your lowest point just think how dad you've come and how great it feels when people praise you although I found it quite embarrassing.

    Keep rocking it people and if anyone wants a friend who rambles on about all sorts of rubbish then add me.

      Nice story.

      I used to walk the same 2.5 mile route every day.. One day a complete stranger that I have never seen before came up to me and said he had noticed me walking 2 or 3 times a week. He said he noticed I had lost weight and walking faster and more upright. By that time I had lost 10 stone (140 pounds). I still don't know who it was or seen him since.

      You never think about who is watching do you? But thats a good thing cuz then we are doing it for the most important person, ourselves not thinking about what the others are saying. Good for you!
