I started losing weight the day I joined MFP - 26th May 2012. I've never been thin, even as a teenager, and after having 3 kids in 5 years my weight just kept creeping up. On the day I decided to lose weight I weighed in at 15 stone 10 / 220lbs. Today, the scales said 10 stone 10 / 150lbs :)

I started out doing low impact exercise, mainly on the Wii Fit, and walked as much as I could. I gradually worked up to a few minutes of jogging at a time and now here I am, running several miles a week! My legs are in the best shape they've ever been. I have recently started weight training as well to firm everything up and I can see/feel a difference already!

I have gone from a UK size 18 to a UK size 10. This is the lowest weight I've ever been at and I feel so much more comfortable with my body.

Before - 220lbs

After - 150lbs

I'd like to lose a few more pounds but I'm more focused on getting myself toned and strong. So we'll see :)

    I love your little black dress! I can't wait till I can wear that kind of stuff again. Don't worry about weight at this point, just work on toning. Way to go!

    I too am 6 feet tall. I currently weigh just under your start weight (217.5 down from 318) and I have to say that you look better starting out than I do now! Congrats to you and personally I don't think you need to lose any more, you look great.
