I am 46 years old and always been obese all of my life as far back as i can remember, done weightwatchers, had diet pills given to me by my doctor (lost 3 stone in 6 months then doctor said come off them and put 4 stone back on
)
Never had the motivation, support anything to continue with it.
I decided in January 2013 this was my year - i download my fitness pal app and with the support from my friends and work colleagues i continued to complete this app every day (apart from 7 days when i went on holiday) and i started at 277lbs (around 19.5 stones - heaviest i have every been
As of today July 18th 2013 i now weigh 210lbs - 15 stone - loss so far 4 stone 8 pounds - i am so proud of myself and all my family and friends are too. I cannot believe i have stuck it out for this long - without fitness pal app i believe that i would have only got fatter and unhealthier
Clothes size have gone from size 26 now to an 18 - I full intend to go lower at least another 4 stone. I am 46 years old and believe in reality and do not wish to be a size 10/12 just 14/16 for me i would be the happiest woman alive - I have not denied myself anything - if i want fish and chips i have, if i want chocolate i have, but all in moderation................................................
keep it up guys xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx thanks Dawn

Dawn, it is great to see your success ... I think you hit the nail on the head when you said 'if I want fish and chips - i have it ... all things in moderation' that is the key because as soon as we tell ourselves 'I can't have this or that because I am on a diet' then we are sunk! I am not on a diet I am on a healthy eating way of life. Well done you - you deserve your success!0
