135kg to 84kg in 2 years :)

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!

Face shot, from 135kg to 90kg in this pic.



Body shot, night before surgery a few weeks ago, 89kg, and two weeks later, 84kg. He removed 4kg of skin



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

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!!
