edited September 2024 in Success Stories
Hi everyone,

A couple of months back I posted success story on here, unfortunately I didn't have many fat pics and I was still dieting. Now I've lost another stone since and have found a lot more pictures.

Hope this inspires at least one person to carry on with their diets or to start one and it will be worth it.

I got bullied for most of my life for being overweight. I've been called every name under the sun and had people not take me seriously purely because of my weight, I don't think people realise how their perception is of people until they see something like this. I've had countless amounts of people apologise for dismissing me as a partner or as a person since I've lost all this weight. It's quite sad that that's the way it is but it seems to happen naturally in todays world.

Anyway I started at the beginning of May last year at 21 stone (over that but I didn't weigh myself the first 2 weeks of dieting)

This was me before:

That's before and now after:

9 stone and a hell of a lot of blood sweat and tears later and I'm now at a stage where I'm quite pleased with myself. I still want a flat stomach which I know will take time and fat loss but this is definately an achievement anyway! If anyone wants to know more please ask, if not good luck! :)

    reinventingandrea, that's exactly the way I was, one of those I'm passed out on the floor, another I'm in almost as bad a state and the other I didn't have much chance of stopping! I didn't use my fitnesspal throughout but it has helped me keep a tab of what I've eaten and salt/sugar levels etc which is important. I've not followed a strict diet or anything, just limited myself to a NET of 1200 cals a day with really healthy foods, tried to have 4 meals a day recently as well to keep burning throughout the day and night.

    9 stone is the measurement in the uk. It's the equivalent of 126 pounds. We like using imperial measurements!
