I posted before when I first hit my weight loss goal and lost a total of 128lbs within 13 months, when I think few would have believed I would have been successful (before and after below).

I had the typical story, I ate too much and drank too much. Blamed a bad knee injury which I had another surgery for during my weight loss transformation for my laziness prior to it. But I finally felt a change, I had implemented a new mindset, a new diet and finally the start of a new me! I knew after a few weeks the instant change in my body, my mentality and my happiness that I knew I had finally got the motivation to do it. I new I wanted to push myself on to goals that may have seemed impossible at the start.

I am still delighted to this day that nearly a year ago I reached my target and hit my goal, but since then I've have achieved goals that I myself probably would have doubted at the start. Since I hit my goal I maintained my weight but also completed my first half marathon and I'm starting a new training regime to push myself on more. So if people ever doubt you or if you ever doubt yourself, never stop because you do not know what is waiting for you.

    I would have believed you would be successful, because it was your goal. I am happy to see you have had success and are achieving new goals! It is a great feeling to be able to believe in yourself. And, for the naysayers and doubters, they can take stage left in your life because you deserve better! Congratulations!
