Ok, last July I weighed almost 250lbs. I decided enough was enough and started a diet and exercise plan. I don't have a photograph of myself from the very beginning, sorry. The pictures below (if it works and they aren't too huge) were taken in November last year. My weight was around 190lbs and I was pleased with my progress.

Fast forward a few months, I've continued with the diet and exercise (running, pilates and recently lifting) and I'm now at 147lbs. I still have a bit more to drop, not sure where I will stop as the focus is now on getting fit and strong. I took a few pics this morning. I'm not a lean, mean, fighting machine but I've made a decent enough start.

Apologies if the pics don't work and this gets read before I've a chance to fix it xxx

    So are they abs? To me they feel like carefully moulded flab lol. I think I have good core muscles underneath the fat I'm carrying. The long term plan is to gradually lose several more pounds of fat and really tone up.

    ps. Thanks for the lovely encouragement. That's why I love this site :D
