62lbs down! 16 months, 4lbs off goal! *pics*

Third attempt as PC keeps crashing!

Height- 5 foot exactly

Start weight - 174, UK size 16, junk food and chocolate addict, smoked 20 a day and drank regularly.

current weight - 113, UK size 6-8 dont smoke, dont eat crap and drink ocassionally.

Lost 39 lbs by myself using JM 30 DS, walking and generally watching what I ate, then found this amazing site and with the help and support of all of you managed to get myself down a further 22lbs to a healthy BMI and weight. I am no longer diabetic and havent needed insulin for 12 months!

I had targeted to be 4lbs lighter but I have been gaining and losing the same 3lbs for the past 2 months so think my body is happy and I will stay where I am.

I had one cheat day where I didnt watch what I ate (didnt go crazy either) and enjoyed a few glasses of wine once a week, I went to the gym 3 x a week doing 30/40 mins cardio and weight training, also in the past 2 months I have started training for my first marathon in Sept to raise money for Breast cancer research follwing my 25 year old cousin being diagnosed with a rare form of breast cancer and undergoing chemo in the past 6 months.

My before pics are a bit crap as I never really took any as I didnt have faith I could ever do this.

I never had a tummy like this before I had my two children! I feel fit and healthy for the first time in my life! I'm covered in stretch marks and saggy mummy tummy but I have my health back, and energy to play with my two beautiful children and I feel very very lucky.

I couldnt have done this without MFP and all of you and your support and advice so I thank you all and look forward to supporting others in their journey!

Before (hope they dont come out huuuuge!)
