Reached a huge milestone for me today... lost 50lbs (19% body weight!) in the space of 13 weeks...!

I haven't done anything special just eat health (as you are recommended anyway!) and exercise (again as recommended!)

Hopefully these pictures will work

Before - Christmas 2011 (just before we started the weight lose comp)

After - my dads 60th birthday March 2012

    That is wonderful! My husband has had a similar weight loss in the same amount of time, and he is just eating right and exercising. I am jealous of you guys and all your calorie burning muscle!

    Thanks for your comments... it keeps me motivated to continue with the lifestyle change I started in January...

    The exercise started with walking my dog 1.5/2 mile a day and then increasing that to 4 miles, play squash and football once a week

    And now I am up to 5 mile runs and doing my first charity run in may, as well as walking the dog 4 miles a night and continuing my squash and football - so not really a massive amount (well I dont think)
