4 months ago I was in Sydney with some friends... Over 70kgs and quite tubby and I had moobs and all... Not a great recipe at all!

4 Months later and I get to see them again... They looked at me and were shocked! There jaws literally dropped to the Floor! They just could not stop telling me how I looked like a completely different person...

Then I went to the 21st and Girls spoke to me.... If you knew me in person you would know that this just does not happen!! I had girls coming upto me asking me if I worked out as it looked like I had... So I lifted up my t-shirt for one of the girls... She was like "Um your hot" I was blown away by this... This just not happen at all!

So if you are feeling a little negative or down about your weightloss just keep reminding yourself that 4 months alone can see a massive difference and even though you are not realising much of a change, the people around you do!

Give me till the end of 2012 and I should be in my prime!

Keep up the good fight MFP'ers! We are in this together

    They looked at me and were shocked! There jaws literally dropped to the Floor!

    Figuratively. If they literally dropped to the floor, call an ambulance.
