edited December 2024 in Success Stories
Hey Im Kelly, I am 23 years old, I started my weight loss journey on new years day 2015. I have always been a bigger girl and never once had a flat stomach.
This year I have decided is my year and by New Year 2016 I plan to be down to 9 Stone 7 Pounds (133lbs)
I started at a weight of 14 stone 3 pounds and currently weigh 11 stone 2 pounds. I have gone from a UK size 18 to a UK size 10/12. I have lost this weight in 5 months! I have been working so hard, using the gym and eating healthy no fad diets. I was one of them that tried all the fad diets and thought there would be a quick fix. This is not true you really do need to change your whole lifestyle. I feel so much better for it. I enjoy eating healthy foods and using the gym on a regular basis.
I go away on holiday to Mexico in 17 days and I plan on losing another 3 pounds to get me into the 10 stone 12 area. I am going to feel so much better in my bikini this year and for once not feel like everyone is looking at me thinking I'm a whale!

If you want to see my progress for me finishing off my weight loss journey and burning off my last stone and a half...feel free to add me and I will be posting new photos when I finally reach my goal.
Good Luck to you all
If I can do it anyone can!

    We have similar stats in terms of start weight and current weight but I don't look anywhere near as good as you! You look a lot more toned :) do you focus on cardio or incorporate strength training/weights? Congrats on the progress by the way, you look amazing! :) xxx

    Thanks Everyone its been a tough 5 months but it will be worth it in the end when I can finally wear that size 10 tight dress I have always wanted to fit into. I do both Cardio and strength training. I use free weights along with resistant machines :-) You have to balance out the 2 really. Everyone's body is different though you have to find what works for you. I am finding cardio interval training is great for shrinking my stomach though. :smiley:

    So I head to Mexico on Tuesday I think I can just about get away with wearing a bikini. As soon as I get back its straight back on it to hit my goal and get that flat stomach I have always wanted :-)
