65 lbs down, with pics

trudie_b · January 2017

I posted a couple of weeks back in the photos only success thread, but my after shots were pretty rubbish, so I've taken some better ones.

This is me in 2011, 211lbs, 41/36/47" (5'10"), UK size 18/20.

This is me now, 146lbs, 34/26/38", UK size 8/10.

you look fab, trudie_b, can i ask a question, your skin tone looks great how did you manage that? i have lost 66lbs since last april and have a lot of wibbly (for want of a better word) areas and i don't know how to improve them, happy for it to take a while.
thanks

Awww, thank you all!! I am proud, because I've clawed back good health too - I had to use a walking stick, sometimes even a wheelchair, before, because I was so sick with CFS/fibromyalgia. Some days, just changing the bed linen was so exhausting that I couldn't do anything else for the rest of the day. So to be fit & healthy feels pretty fantastic.

Sophie, do you mean loose skin, or cellulite? If loose skin, I do have it on my belly, but it only shows when I'm doing something like a plank, so I'm not bothered. As for cellulite, I do still have it, even if it doesn't show much on the photo, but I think that collagen supplements (I buy the powder and put it in my oatmeal) have helped a lot with it.
