edited September 25 in Success Stories
So, its been 4 months.
I've gone from 200 lbs with a BMI of 28.3 to 157 lbs with a BMI of 22.2
I've gone from a 38 inch waist to a 32 inch waist.
I've lost my double chin, I'm able to run 5 miles without stopping and I'm able to go into a shop and buy clothes without thinking "I'm too fat to wear that".
My self esteem and confidence has risen so much and I just enjoy time out with friends a lot more now.
My ultimate goal is 145lbs. I'll get there slowly I suppose. I'm happy with how I am now, so I may just maintain for a while.. :)



Before at 200lbs. HATE these pictures, I just hope they're encouraging to some of you.. :) (I'm the blonde by the way)

    So awesome! I can't begin to tell you how happy I am for you and that you are taking care of this while your still young because it gets so much harder when your my age! I congratulate you for not taking your age as an escuse to be lax on your health and taking care of your weight. Good job!

    How did you do it? Diet, diet and working out, working out only?

    Sticking to my calorie limits on MFP and a LOT of intense cardio! Working out 5/6 days a week mostly. Elliptical & treadmill since I have both of those at home & I also attended some street dancing classes. I didn't eat that much healthier - I eat a lot more fruit than usual and cut down on bad carbs, but I still had chinese takeout, nando's, kfc etc now and again. Moderation is the key :)

    I'm at my goal "skinnyness" now so I'm going to start more strength oriented workouts soon for some definition.

    Thank you to everyone who's complimented me.. it means a lot to be called an inspiration! Keep working and you'll all be at your goal in no time :)
