edited September 29 in Success Stories
I started on MFP in May 2011, having basically been in denial for a good long while about the fact that I was constantly expanding.
Since then, I have so far lost about 35lb, but I hadn't really noticed much of a visible difference until today when I decided to try on an awesome t-shirt that my wife bought me for christmas, but which I haven't really worn as it was mildly snug to say the least. Today it actually felt pretty loose, so I decided to take a picture and compare it to a photo of me wearing it on christmas day last year. I'm pleased to report that I reckon the difference is visible, if slight (although I've also lost about a pound of beard since christmas!)
I'm also taking triptychs of comparison pics every 5 kilos or so, which I will start to post soon (although they are basically pictures of a fat hairy man in his underwear, so they may not be suitable for all viewers!)
All in all, I think I'm getting there, and I'm nearly a quarter of the way to my target, so I think I may be down to 95kg (209lb / nearly 15st) by my 32nd birthday in April, which would be nice :)
