Well done - you are doing great and looking fantastic! I could have written some of your story - especially the part about looking after everyone else but yourself! So easy to do when you have a family. Keep up the good work and hope you get to your goal some time soon x

Well you are obviously missing my point - I have no objection to discussing what I have done and how I have done it but isn't it quite sad how we all think in this day and age the only way to lose weight is by doing a 'diet' ? I would class myself as someone who probably believed that before I proved myself wrong this year!

in Diet???!!!! What a word..... Comment by chollylops July 2011

That's the point - I think we all have ! the word Diet is associated with weight loss and really the word diet is what we eat ?

Bag them up and get rid of them! You won't need them will you? I have kept a pair of my fat jeans and every now and then I put them on and shock myself that they once fit! Donate them - and enjoy chosing new ones!

After not ever weighing myself for months ( didn't want to face my weight problem ) Now I do nearly every day - although my official weigh in day is a tuesday. I find it help spur me on if it is moving then I know I am doing something, if it isn't I need to do better! It also makes me realise how much my weight can change…

in How often do you weigh yourself? Comment by chollylops July 2011

Well done you! you look fantastic - so much younger and happier too! I hope that you can inspire others to lose weight the sensible way - no diets and no fads - just a change of lifestyle. I truly hope you can continue your new way of life and your weight stays low - enjoy!

My aim is 12 stone (168lbs) remeber being there before and felt pretty normal! As it gets closer I will see what I think - really don't think you can put a number on your goal - a case of getting somewhere where you good. BTW - I am 5'11 - large frame

in 5'10" ladies what's your goal? Comment by chollylops June 2011

Totally agree - find your worst and look at what you want to get away from! I have spent years avoiding the camera but now I am glad there are a few that sneaked through that I look back at and say OH MY GOD - I never want to be there again!

I know what you mean about avoiding the camera - I had to search through loads to find some - have a dinner dance once a year where there is no avoiding the camera so that helped! It's worth the hunt to inspire yourself - I have been shocked by some photos of myself and now I realise how far I have come!
