I'm approximately at the halfway point of my journey of losing 68lbs, still a lot of work to do but I thought I'd share a quick picture of my progress as I'm feeling quite pleased with myself (never been able to lose weight before). I'm currently 16st 7lbs aiming for 14st, I started at 18st 12lb at the end of March.

The picture on the left was in March and the one on the right was today:

Note the daft neckbeard I used to grow so people knew where my jaw line was meant to be!

    It's the things like this that make me wonder why God wouldn't let me be British. You look great!

    Fantastic! I'm always amazed by a progress/after photo during weight loss (or gain)! Looking so healthy and just hope you're as happy as you look in the first photo! :smile:

    Aww thanks you guys, really nice to hear!

    Jillish: Don't worry, I'm actually in a much better place now than I was then (despite the smile), I just look sullen in the one on the right because I'm subconsciously posing!!

    Had a little fluctuation on the scales in the last few days but now I'm exactly halfway there! Only 2.4lbs to go until I also get out of the obesity level on the BMI!
