hey all im going to appologise for my spelling in advance,

i started my jurney on the 1st of june because on my 23rd birthday i wore a dress that i though was flattering, lets just say after looking at pictures the next day i cried. i stated at 181lbs and am now 161lbs as of last monday. so its been a slow and stead weight loss for me.(im 5ft8) i would like to loose another 6lbs

i wasnt a fan of exersize and im a very fussy eater but i knew i had to change. i joined the local gym and became addicted. i lost my first 5-6 pounds nicely. i then moved house a few months after to the welsh mountains where the local gym was 40 min drive away :( i decided to buy a dog and go running. the first 30 seconds i thought i was going to die. this was in january. today i am runninng 10k nearly 3 times a week.

i cant see that my body has changed much becuase ive always been self concious and told im overweight by verious people. but i thought id upload a few pics just for all to see were i am today.
the first 2 pics were taken 1st june 2011 and the 2nd 2 pics are taken on the 3rd on may 2012.

thanks for reading

    Definitely a big difference in your stomach! I'm curious to know if you have taken measurements? Or has your pants size/dress size changed? Also, i love your tummy freckles/beauty marks/moles (whatever you want to call them). I love body freckles! lol

    We should not define ourselves by a number on a scale but by the number of things we have checked off our bucket list.
