Dropped 5 dress sizes in 8 months!

It's been a long old road to get here, and It's taken perseverance and hard work (and a lot of tears) but I never thought I'd do this. I had tried since I was 13 to slim down and NEVER succeeded. It is partly why I still don't see myself as slim, even now. I'm not finished on this journey, ideally I'd like to drop another 15 or so pounds (assuming I haven't gained, as my scales have broken!) but I am content and proud to have achieved something.

So here it is. This is me, all 130/140something, 5ft 7" of me, with a skirt that 8 months ago, I couldn't zip up.

For reference, the skirt is a UK 16 and I am now 35-25.5-35ish.
