18 months - 28lbs down so far [with pic]

So there were 2 pictures that made me decide to change my life for good. One of these is the one on the left below.

I went from 199lbs down to 170.8lbs I've got about another 20/25lbs I'd like to go but my focus from here on in is just to be happy with who I am and gently lose the weight along the way. I tried a million different things but found what worked for me. I've done 30DS, RI30, Insanity and countless other DVDs. I run regularly and I've now found my 'soulmate' workout in T25.

In the past 18 months, 6 of those were at a plateau and I nearly gave up. I realised there was no point because just because the scales weren't moving, doesn't mean that I'm not getting healthier! I eat well about 80% of the time and then have treats in the other 20%. I've changed my portion sizes and I can't eat anywhere near the volume of food that I used to.

So I'm basically posting this because I'm really proud. Also, I just wanted those other people who are stuck at a plateau, or on the verge of giving up to realise that the time will pass anyway. It's up to you whether you continue with your new lifestyle or revert back to your old ways.

Happy Friday everyone x

My transformation...(so far)
