Hi i'm Laura. I wanted to share my story so far as I never thought any diet would work for me!!

I started my weight loss journey back in January 2013. On December 24th 2012 I was weighing in at around 230 lbs,
( uk 16 st.4 lbs) This was the heaviest I have ever weighed and i HATED it.

My new years resolution was to Stop smoking, which I have and I have been off the cigs since December 28th 2012 and I haven't touched a single one. I went completely cold turkey and I am mega proud as I would happily smoke around 15-20 *kitten* per day with my hubby. I wanted to become healthier and happier and also be a good role model to my 3 young children aged 7, 4 and 13 months old.

I Have lost 35 lbs in total and my goal weight is in sight..of 164 lbs :)) I hope these pics show up and thanks to MFP :))

    Awesome job! I also quit smoking, I'm 51 days smoke free, and I know how hard it is to quit smoking and continue to lose weight! Great job, you can definitely see a difference!
