40lbs down, more than half way there...

RedVelvetCurls · April 2012

Hello everyone.

I don't have any pictures to share because I'm ultimately camera shy, but I was hoping to share my story anyway.

I joined MFP after putting on a surprising amount of weight. I used to be a slender UK size 12, but I went up 3 sizes due to a combination of medication and an emotionally-draining boyfriend, whom I left long ago. I was miserable with myself, but my friend told me about this site and I joined, a little hesitant.
But since joining, I have lost 18kg. That's 40lbs, and now I'm a UK size 14.. I'm more than half way to my target. I've also completed the 30 Day Shred, and I plan to do it again once I've moved flat.

So I just wanted to say to everyone here: thank you. You've helped me get my life back on track. :flowerforyou:

Congrats! That's a great accomplishment, and it has to feel good to reach the (over)halfway point!
