Hi everyone,
Just thought I'd share my story instead of doing an introductory post!
I've always been a big girl. I remember being 90kg at the age of 12.. And it kept going up. My heaviest was 135kg, a bit over 2 years ago now. Anyway, with a lot of hard work, tears, excuses, a few unhealthy habits that I'm still trying to get out of, hence joining this site, I'm now 84kg.
I've always, as long as I can possibly remember, had an overhanging apron of fat and skin on my tummy. And when I got into the 80's I treated myself to a tummy tuck. I know it's a good idea to the goal weight first, but it was so physically unattractive and very restricting, that I just wanted it off. I love running, and it's so disheartening when you're running and you can feel your abdomen bouncing around like unrestrained breasts! Even more disheartening when doing a plank naked and it touches the floor. So keep in mind, I may need to have a revision surgery when I do reach my goal weight, just to tidy it up further, but here are some pics!

Body shot, night before surgery a few weeks ago, 89kg, and two weeks later, 84kg. He removed 4kg of skin![:) :)](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/smile.png)

I've managed to also run two 10km fun runs in the two years I've been on this mission! The last of which I knocked ten minutes of the time from my first! Now this year, without a huge apron of skin bouncing around, I'm hoping to shave off another ten minutes! I also want to run a marathon before I'm 30!!
Thanks for reading![:) :)](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/smile.png)
Edited to add: My goal weight is 65kg! I just want to get to the 60s and then maintain it for life, so 65kg is smack bang in he middle, so that will do!!

It takes a lot to render me speechless but oh my god...!
Hope you're seriously proud!0 -
Good golly, this is an amazing accomplishment for just 2 years. You look great, and how wonderful it is that you have run 2 10km runs! I can barely run so to me that is awesome!0

Congratulations for taking control and striving towards a better, happier, healthier version of you.
You have accomplished so much in just two years and you should be seriously proud of yourself.
Looking forward to seeing where you are another year from now xx0 -
Thank you so much for sharing this. Well done on your success! Good on you for making the decision to empower yourself now.
I have been so lucky that most of my skin has been shrinking as I've lost weight. I needed the perspective your photos gave me today. I hope that I have said it so it sounds as grateful as I mean it to be. (I started at 140kg and at my lowest I got to 71kg).0 -
You look awesome, I wouldn't know the face photos were the same person if you didn't tell me.
I wish you much success in your running goals!0 -
