edited October 2024 in Success Stories
I wanted to share my story - hoping that others can take comfort that it can be done. I have lost 98lb and gone from a UK 26 to a 16. It started at 305lb and with my daughter coming home and saying that I was the fattest Mammy in her class - I love her for this so much now :) It was innocently meant - just a fact! So I started to exercise on my own, finaly joining a gym starting with gym time and taking a boxercise class. I now train seriously 5 times a week. I tackled my diet in earnest in july and have been higher protein for a while now. Right here for the photo's - please god this works!

    Oh I forgot to say i am 207lb now - and the things i am grateful for :
    I am fit.
    I can run the stairs
    I fit in the bath - not fit the bath
    I can see my bits! (sorry if your of delicate disposition)
    I don't find food in my bra
    I can wear an underwire
    I can touch (and see) my toes

    Things I love but hate:
    nothing fits
    I can't afford new clothes
    my knickers fall down!
    I can't wear my wedding ring
