50lbs down with pics!!!!!!

Firstly thank you to all of you for your lovely comments, really means a lot.

Secondly to those of you who have mentioned you are starting your journey - good luck I know you can all do it xxx

How did I do it and what happened a long the way....... The day before I started using MFP I had done day one of the Exante diet, all was going fairly well (apart from the fact id never been so hungry in my life) until dinner and I tried one of the soups, literally the most disgusting thing i've ever eaten in my life..... I thought if I really want to do this, which after many failed attempts at various diets I did, I can do it without shakes and bars and do it the sensible way. I started eating the recommended amount of cals on MFP and tracking RELIGIOUSLY. I brought a cheap cross trainer from ebay and took up running. The weight started coming off and TBH my determination never really waivered. I had AMAZING support from a friend of mine and we joined the gym about a month into my journey on a joint membership. Obviously there were days where things didn't go exactly to plan, but the main thing was the next day I tried to forget about the day before and get right back on track. One thing I found really helped was taking progress pics, seeing how far you have come gives your a massive boost and helps you get back on track after the hard days. Other than that I don't really have any tips or tricks, just keep going!!!!!

Thankyou so much again for all your lovely comments, means so much xxx
