Hi all! 
I'm very happy today! weighed myself and I'm down to 165.4lbs! My starting weight was 279lbs in February last year so as you can imagine I never thought I'd ever get down this low.
I've always been the top end of obese, I have literally never had a "normal" or even "overweight" BMI before so to even be classed in the middle category of overweight is a dream come true to me.
I still have a few stone left to lose and I will keep fighting every day for that, but seeing how much weight I have lost now and my progress ticker just keeping on counting those pounds off is a huge motivation. I remember last year when I was staring at that ticker when it was only 5lbs lost on it, thinking how the heck will I lose 140lbs? But seeing it now is amazing, I'm so close to my target I can almost feel it!
I really hope that this post shows people it really is possible even when you have over 100lbs to lose because I know just how daunting that can be. It's a long hard challenge but the rewards are great. Make sure you all stick in there! Feel free to add me as a friend and message me any time. We can never have enough friends after all

Last year I was experiencing health issue due to my weight, my periods had stopped for half a year and as you can see I wasn't exactly in great shape lol. When I found out how much my weight was effecting me that's when it was a now or never because I was at the stage where I could have kept eating like I did and probably become immobile or I could bust my butt and change my life. I hope it's obvious which path I chose! Haha
My food diary if public so feel free to have a look lately I've just been on a "normal person" way of eating really haha but make sure I stay in my calorie goals and I exercise a lot lately. I'm a vegetarian and fortunately I like fruit and veg so it's always good to eat those! I love my meat replacement products like quorn too. I tried my best over the year to not snack on too much unhealthy stuff but if I do have cravings I work it into my day.
Lately I go to the gym twice a week, do dancing once a week, zumba once a week and I will be starting an exercise class once a week on Monday too. But I lost most of my weight by just walking much more and playing on lots of wii fit type games. We also bought a cross trainer which helpedAmazing loss. You look happier and younger and I laughed out loud at your baggy pants compared to the before photo. How did you keep them up?
Haha! Weirdly enough they weren't too bad to keep up for a couple of mins for pictures as before when I wore them they were stretched to their maximum! My boyfriend however did decide they're ridiculously big on me and that he could fit in there with me too LOL, will post a picture on the next reply as unfortunately when I add it it's coming up in the middle of this post :P
