2 Stone 6 Pounds Down... Half way mark - photos so far!

So I wasn't going to share my photos till I got to my goal but I thought I could try and inspire some people. I have always been the chubby kid and the fat girl out of my group of friends and this year I felt it was time for me to change and feel good about myself.
I have always been around the size UK 14 mark which I know isn't huge but my belly looked pregnant most of the time and I have never been able to wear tight clothes or dresses. While me and my friends got ready for a night out I was the one putting on a baggy dress to cover my belly fat. I also lost weight around 3 years ago as I went in for a breast enlargement due to one of my boobs being a totally different size to the other. But since then I have piled on the weight and went to a size 16/18 in 2014.
The 1st of January came along this year 2015 and I decided that was the day I changed my life forever. I have now lost a total of 34 Pounds and I am half way to my goal weight. I was 14 Stone 3 Pounds and I now weigh 11 Stone 10 Pounds. By Christmas this year I plan to get down to a UK size 10 and be 10 Stone.
I am very determined and I KNOW I can do it... as it has only been 3 and a half months and I have lost as much as I have I am 99% sure I can do it!
Diet and exercise is key. I use the gym 4-5 days a week and I work hard. I eat very healthy and avoid eating to many carbs.
You are welcome to add me if you can give me advice or just want to see me reach my goal :-)

Well done. The results are clear to see - you look great in the seconds pics. I would like to lose about 3 stone, but I am feeling a bit outfaced at the figure of 40+lbs so I am just going to aim for 7lbs at a time. You must be really starting to feel the health benefits now.0

hi @kellygibbo848 congratulation for the progress!!!!
what kind of workouts that you regularly do?
how about calories intake? do you limit it also?0 -
It's made so much difference - you look great. It's always nice to see stones and lbs too . Tell us more about what you've been doing. have you done any exercises specifically that have helped your belly flatten, or was it all weight loss?0

So I do go to the gym at least 4 days a week, I do weight sessions and cardio. Interval training is what Im doing a lot of at the moment as its good for reducing belly fat :-). Interval training is 1 minute run 1 minute walk 1 minute run 1 minute walk. The run needs to be fast though so you are pushing yourself for the whole minute. Then on the bike 2 minute slow 2 minute extreme fast pace. I do each of these for 15-20 minutes and I sweat like mad. You can do it on the rower and elliptical trainer etc.
I do a good ab session of around 20 minutes, leg raises, planks, crunches, ball twists etc.
I eat very clean, salmon, Broccoli, chicken, almonds, fruit, fage greek yougurts, blueberries, rice, protein shakes from myprotein.com etc.
I started new years day its been hard but its worth it I go away in June and plan to of lost at least 3 stone xx

Great result. I'm hoping to follow in your footsteps! I started with the same weight as you approx 92 kilos/size UK16. 5 months later I weigh 84 kilos and have a size UK14. I'm not doing as much exercise because I don't have the energy. I'll send you a friend request.0
