Hi :) I wanted to share my most recent picture...largely for accountability. Over the last 7 years I lost 200 pounds whilst also having PCOS. I wasnt at goal but I was very close...then about 18 months ago life happened....my mum passed away, I broke my wrist, my house got broken into (you get the gist)....in that time I lost focus and gained 22 kilos (48 pounds)....At the start of the year I got back on the weight loss train and I have the correct mindset again (thankfully!) and know I will reach goal this year....heres a pic of where I am currently which I wanted to share.

Before: (173.1 kilos/380 pounds)

Current (156 pounds down) - weighing 102 kilos/224 pounds::
