I still have easily 15kgs to go before I am at the weight I would ideally like to be, so not totally a success story as yet......
I went for a photoshoot on Saturday to "feel good" about how far I have gotten and must say I am incredibly proud of myself for where I have gotten to so far and so horrified at myself that I was as big as what I was.
Seeing myself in a photo in my "fat pants" actually made me cry! I mean I knew I was fat...... But didn't really realize I was THAT fat!!!
So yay to how far I have come and here's to reaching goals!!

this was exactly what i wrote a week ago
I knew i was a big girl ( overweight) but didn't realize how much
And yes putting on my old pants made me also very emotional
Congratulations and enjoy it

Thanks so much!!! Don't give up! As lame as what that sounds, there will be days that are tougher than others, just stick to it! I have a bunch of dvd's at home that I do, mostly cardio. Have however started doing some weight training now too, wish I had started that sooner because I have rather loose saggy skin which might have tightened a bit better by now.0 -

It really is emotional!!! Well done on your loss too!!0 -
Thanks for all the support!!
How is everyone else doing? How much have you lost? How much do you need to lose?
Great support is vital, it's actually sad to realize how many "friends" will say, oh no, you should stop now, think you have lost enough weight now...... Esp if you were always one of the bigger girls in the friends circle...... So yes, seems you gain some new friends and lose some old friends along the way during your weight loss journey.....0 -
