Well I made a progress post a few months ago when I had lost just 68lb. Since then the loss has slowed down and only lost a further 27lb in the past few months. Now coming towards the end of month 7 (started in Jan) and at 95lbs lost. Thats 287lb to 192lb or 20.5 stone to 13.5 stone ish.

I am only posting again now as I cant seem to push through the 95lb mark to hit 100lb lost. It isn't because the weight loss has slowed down... it's because I keep having bad weekends, adding a few lbs, then loosing them again through the week. In one respect I am happy about this as shows my body is getting used to being 7 stone lighter (ie not just piling all my lbs back on), but on the other hand I still have 16lbs to go until I reach my 12.5 stone target.

I am hoping my publicising this it will kick start me into a further couple months full on 'healthy-ness'...to reach 12.5 stone.

So long as I hit that by Christmas I will be happy. My aim when I started in Jan was 8 stone loss by Dec 31st. Well on target, just got to quit the weekend treats!

1320 cals a day just aint enough... for me!

Anyway, now I have made myself accountable, i'll go have my low fat cheese crackers and muller light!

Photo progress below.

Cheers.

Ben.

    WOW, you DO look completely different!! And younger! Your family will definitely have you around for a long long time, and that's a great gift.

    I think you'll totally make it to your 100 lbs. But I also think you look good where you are!!

    CONGRATULATIONS!

    You look so much younger. When I read your post and how you nailed the first 95 but are struggling with the last 5 it made me think of my own self-sabotage. When I get so close to my goal, I don't self-sabotage at first, but rather at the eleventh hour ... right when I'm about to finish the goal line. I wonder if you're doing the same thing ... so close to goal, but keeping yourself from tasting sweet victory (pun intended). Good job writing about it, getting accountable publicly and for sure you have this in the bag. You'll get clear about your priorities and finish strong! Do it for the rest of us who struggle in the same way. You're such an inspiration! - Michelle:smile:
