Almost one year on and 55lbs down, half way! (pics)

It's almost been one year since starting this journey, so I decided to reflect on my year so far. This first 6 months were tough and the weight dropped faster than I ever imagined making me feel so alive and happy. The compliments I recieved only pushed me harder. I joined my gym and went all the time, I still do now, its my third home next to work and home. After christmas i began hitting my first real struggle. The weight didn't want to shift, but I thought threw it as giving up wasn't and option for me anymore and I've managed to lose a further 25lbs giving me a total of 55lbs. I had never imagined when starting this that I would get this far as nothing worked before. I thought enough is enough I have to do this now, I didnt want to spend another birthday huge anymore. I wanted to reach a goal weight of 211lbs by my birthday making me hit the fall into the 14 stone bracket, something I hadn't seen in a long time. My birthday I weighed in at 14.11 meaning I had done it! It was my first real milestone since starting, the best feeling in the world. Now my next goal it to reach Onederland, something I really didnt think was possible, making me 2.6lbs away! i wanted to wait till tuesday (my weigh-day) to post but I was looking through photos today and I was disgusted what i used to look like and why i let myself go that far. But seeing how much i have worked to get where i am now, has made me so proud of myself. Im 1lb away from my half way mark, and I cant wait to see the rest of the transformation.



Every 6 months I take a photo to give me that boost. I thought today was a perfect time to do that.
