Hi,

Ok the before / after pics have always been a big source of inspiration for me, so i thought I should do one.

Anyway, I registered on here in June 2010 but didn't start properly until Jan 2011 and since then I've lost 32.5kgs (approx 71lbs) for the record I'm 175cm which is about 5ft 9/10 (i think!).

I have always shied away from pictures and have almost none, hence the below "BEFORE" picture is actually a scan of my passport - as you can see the picture was taken in May 2010 but I have NO idea of my weight at this point.

The next picture was take a few days ago, on a camera phone so the quality isn't the best (i still do not like having my photo taken)

I still have a way to go and the hardest part is probably still probably ahead of me - I haven't really set a firm goal yet but I'm mulling it over.

Hopefully the shame and embarrassment of this post will be worth while if it helps one person.

Lastly - a big thanks to my MFP friends who gave me the inspiration to post this.

Nik

    It takes an incredible amount of courage to post before and after pics, and I want to thank you for doing so. Every time I see the pictures of someone who has lost 50, 75, 100+ pounds, it reminds me that it's possible, and I *can* do it. Again, thank you! And you looks great!

    Hey Nik, you look GREAT!!! I agree with others that you look like a totally different person. Keep up the good work that you do and the rest will come off as long as you don't totally stop everything should be ok. You've done great so far so keep pushing along my friend!

    CONGRATS!!! :drinker:
