I am so glad UK licenses don't require a record of weight haha Well done on your achievement amazing job :) x

You look pretty well done on your achievement :) OP you've done an incredible job, I would support what others have said re. Letting what will recover, recover then consider skin surgery from then if it makes you happier :) so very impressed! x

Definitely plan on a walk/run plan, I just did a half marathon a week ago after only 6 weeks training (and I wasn't already superfit and I am overweight) my original 12 week plan was disrupted by a bad cold which lasted 2 weeks and a back injury. I really enjoyed the experience and I didn't come last! Just make sure you…

What an inspiration you look amazing! :)

You only need positive people in your life particularly when you're going through a life change, I remember when I was younger and had lost weight how quick people were to tell me that I was 'too thin' oddly enough those people (in hindsight) were a bit overweight. More power to you and well done on your achievement :)…

Thank you that is helpful, pathetic left arm was letting me down in class haha

A definite difference well done! :)

Hey well done that's amazing! I did the Tewkesbury half on Sunday too, snail pace of 2 hrs 43 though :D not bad since I only had six weeks to train. 24 minutes off your time is an incredible achievement!

Hello just found this on search for lift heavy. I'd like to start this, I have a weights bench, barbell and dumbells at home. Any advice on beginners regimes? Update me on your progress too! Billy

Hey I am 5, 5 and 182Ibs, feel free to add me

Ok so I am definitely on track today although it is only 10.18 in the morning ;) I may report back later with how my day has gone. Hopefully this will keep me motivated not to stray!

Could you possibly add me? My phone appears to be playing up!

Hey I am in a similar situation, 175Ibs, 130 would be perfect. It would be good to have a friend with a similar goal. I will add you Billy x

That is amazing, well done!

You look great

You look incredible and I can't stop looking at your shoulders - great job!!

Jillian Michaels the instructor suggests at least 4 times a week, I've found that the first day I do it I really hurt to the point of finding the next day really difficult so maybe every other day is the way to go, however if you find you can manage every day more power to you, I'd have at least be rest day though

Do you have any ideas or suggestions for women who want to start lifting or any introductory workout plan? I would say I say I need to lose around 28Ibs, possibly 35 - currently 171Ibs, 5ft 5. Any advice gratefully received and btw you look incredible, just shows what hard work and dedication can achieve

Utterly inspirational and motivational, thanks for sharing your amazing story ???? x

Incredible!! You look like a different person ???? amazing job, well done!

Thankyou for your advice ???? Will look forward to posting some progress pics! x

What a difference! You look incredible ???? great achievement x

I have about 35Ibs to lose in total I would say currently 168Ibs. Probably best to intersperse the weight training with light cardio to begin with or a bit more challenging? Sorry about all the questions! x

Thankyou so much ???????????? just one more question, did you do any cardio at all or literally just lifting and diet control? Billy x

I was just wondering what your weight lifting routine started off at and how you increased it? You look incredible, lean and strong just how I would like to look ???????? x

Well done on the loss! ???? I've done Atkins a couple of times and found it worked really well. Could never keep it up for long though! Billy

Amazing that's great news - you must be working hard, great stuff ????

Hey I just looked at your diary too and you're not only skipping breakfast but consistently eating under your calories sometimes by 500+ kcals! I'm no expert but if your trainer recommended 1600 it was for a very good reason. I would up your calories and see where things go in the next week or so. Good luck! Billy x

You look great! :smile: amazing achievement! Billy x
