HALFWAY THERE *WITH PICS* 46.6lbs DOWN

edited September 2024 in Success Stories
I started on March 6th 2011 at 253.2lbs and am now 206.6lbs ...... half way to goal!

I said I'd post pictures at halfway so here it goes (and bear with me, sometimes they need jiggling about)

Edited to add: Some people have asked what I've done, I should have put that really!! I try and do 3 sessions at the gym (cardio and weights) and 2 60 minute swims a week. I don't eat back my exercise calories (I might dip in to them if I need a little extra) but I am aware that as I get closer to goal this might need playing with a bit. I have tried not to cut anything out of my diet as that only makes me crave it more - so I allow myself whatever I fancy as long as it stays within my daily limit! And yes, there have been a fair few bad days thrown in there too ..... but I try and let it stay at a day here and there and don't beat myself up about them! This has to be something I do for life, not just til I am at goal so its not realistic to think I'll be perfect forever!!
