Pic 1 is 1st August, pic 2 is 24th August. I'm 5'7 and started at 12st 10lb. Yesterday, I hit 12st, to my complete shock (lost 3lb since Tues, despite eating most of my calories). I feel better, more like I used to, but I've still 2 stone to go to reach goal weight (10 stone). My lightest ever adult weight was 10 stone 3lb, and it only lasted a month or two. My previous highest weight was 11st 10lb, but I lost a baby at 17 weeks pregnant in May and hit the bottle and the fridge big time for a couple months :( Time to let it all go, healthily of course. I love MFP for all the information and support it (and you guys on these forums) has given me. Truly grateful to be back on track.

    Visibly it looks like a lot more than 10 lbs! Way to go, and good luck on the rest!

    Your little photobomber is adorable.

    Haha, "yet" is the key word there :) Thanks for the support, and I'm happy to have inspired you. I find these forums so motivating, I didn't expect to be able to give back so soon :)
