Tried to send you a request for it won't let me, for some reason. Feel free to add me. I'm in the UK, and I love your Prince avatar. :)

Real newbie runner (and exercise hater!) here, so I would like to aim for 15km for the rest of April.

A Rough Collie and an Akita. :)

You should be proud, you look great!

I'm 5'8.5", and currently 175lbs. I've been as low as 158 and I was slim but not skinny then. I'd like to try for 150lbs this time and then see how I look at that.

^^ Congrats!

I also have a busy and sometimes stressful desk based job, and am trying hard to break the habit of sitting in front of a screen all hours of the day and night. Even if it's walking the dogs for 10 minutes. I've also bought the 30 Day Shred DVD. I think I can at least make 20 minutes in my day to work-out, and the results…

These are some of the best 30DS results I have seen! I just bought the DVD and plan to start tomorrow, so your pictures have really inspired me. You look amazing!

Great progress! Is this just from changes to diet or did you exercise as well?

Pick up a pound of sugar, flour, butter etc. Then realise that you've just shed that much excess fat from your body. That's what I do if I'm feeling a bit down about "only" being a pound lighter. The number looks so small on the scale but when you have that amount of weight in your hand you really appreciate how much it…

I have to say, you were always a very beautiful and glamorous lady whatever your size, but WOW!!!! You look amazing now, and so much happier!

I have lost 10lbs so far. 13835 + 10 = 13845

Well, this DVD sounds interesting to me and like I might enjoy it. Thanks to the OP for the suggestion! :smile:

OMG that's the same bikini?? You look amazing!

I am around your height, and it does take a good while before you'll really start to notice a big difference. I think you won't be far away now though. I lost about 36 pounds before, and it was around 25 that people really started to say "WOW - Look how much weight you've lost!!" On the up-side, a couple of pounds put back…

Great progress, you can definitely see a difference! Such a good idea to take photos of how much nearer the dress is to zipping up, too. :smile:

My boyfriend is overweight, and has been verging on obese if you go only by his BMI. In reality, he just lifts a lot of weights, and has a very muscular build with very little fat. That's a good example of why BMI shouldn't be taken as gospel.

I've lost 6lbs since re-starting my weight loss, and this morning I definitely noticed my jeans fitting better around the hips and waist. I know from past experience that because I am quite tall (5'9") it takes a while for a big physical difference to show.

Great post, thank you! Inspiring to read how some relatively small changes, built upon over time, really transformed your weight and your health.

Oh my goodness - your arms! :smile: What fabulous results!

I love seeing people's progress pictures. If I see a celebrity in a magazine, alongside an article about how much weight she's lost, despite having had triplets only 20 minutes ago...etc, etc....then I think: "But I bet she has a personal chef, three personal trainers, £20k of surgery and airbrushing up her sleeve." The…

Down 1lb. I'm happy with that, especially as it took me under the next stone marker. It's always nice to see a new number at the start of your weight!

I TRY to weigh weekly, but actually I tend to sneak a peek at the scales mid-week as well.

THANK YOU for this post! Really clarified a few things I wasn't totally sure on.

Such a great story, and you look amazing!

Wow. I love how much more confident you look in the recent pictures! :smile:

WE didn't add them - YOU took them out! :wink:

You look like a completely new person! What great results!

You look great, well done!

Exactly the same starting weight and height as me! We can do this. :smile:
