I have lost about half the weight to my goal weight (15kg, 33lbs) definitely not there yet, but I feel like my mum who is a graphical artist doesn't have to photoshop me thinner for fun pictures anymore! I am motivated and I know that the rest of my journey might be tougher as the first kilos are the easiest to lose, but I know how to do this and I'm confident that I will lose the rest with less hassle as I'm now in the habit of eating healthier and getting into the habit of exercising more :)

    Sooooooo love the photo; your mum must be very clever. Also quite naughty to tweak your image in photos.

    The after pic looks fab!

    This is lovely news, congratulations :)

    Although is anyone else concerned that the OP's Mum used to photoshop her thinner...? Isn't that a tad body-shaming or am I being over-sensitive today?

    Yes, Even if she needed it, I would never photoshop my daughter thinner. She is her own person. And I can't see my mother doing it to me either. We love one another just the way we are in our family.

    She only did that because I asked for it, she would never have done it otherwise, we love each other just the way we are in my family too, no body shaming... :)

    EDIT: Also don't judge a wonderful mother and someones family before knowing anything about it, uncool!
