@jkal1979 That's the one! Thanks to everyone for responding - knew I could count on my fellow MFPers as always!

Thanks very much @BioShocked89! We have a similar shape and I'm 5'6.5 so it's great to see what's achievable. <3

@BioShocked89 Fantastic work! Can I ask your height (if you don't mind!) and whether the clothing sizes you mentioned are UK/US etc? ❤ Best wishes for your wedding too!

Show the same photo to your friends and family then they'll soon see the change. I am very envious of your new found shape and your long lasting commitment! ;) Great work!❤

Absolutely loving these! Everyone has a noticeable change of some kind. Great work! ❤

Great NSVs from everyone, as always! Today I bashed my ribs leaning over the middle arm rest of my car to reach something. "Bashing your ribs, surely that isn't very victorious?" I hear you cry! Well, for me it means I have less fat, aka protection, covering my ribs and I actually didn't mind the pain for that moment. :)

Love your method and your results! :D

Beautiful, inside and out! I love your way of thinking! To me, weight loss is as much a mental battle as a physical one, so for you to share such a positive outlook is another great way of tackling this journey. Thank you and enjoy summer 2016! ❤

I am incredibly envious of your figure right about now! :D If I can end up looking just a fraction like you once I'm done then I'll be a happy lady! Great work and thanks for the advice. <3

Fantastic work! :D

Nice work! You look like a younger sister in the latest photo. :) P.S. I love your surname! :D

Fantastic work! :)

Lovely to see your hard work pay off I bet! Great job. :D

You've got to live and find ways to fit in the odd days where you eat more (i.e. birthdays/meals out/days where your body just needs fuel). I do this by changing my goal for the day to either a smaller deficit or even 'maintenance'. This way it's kept within reason but equally if I do go over then it's not the end of the…

Non-Scale Victory i.e. something good which has happened but isn't based on the scale going down (or up depending on your aims). I went to the cinema yesterday and I had space on either side of my thighs! This is genuinely a big deal for me because my legs and hips is where I carry all that extra weight. I even became that…

You run therefore you are a runner. :)

As an outsider, look at how you've handled that negative situation at work and managed to summon the strength to create a positive reaction. I hope your work matter sorts itself out (it's a tough position to be in) but whenever you have any self doubt just think of what you achieved yesterday! ❤

Great job! ❤ We have very similar body shapes and seeing your 'after' photos is so lovely. Wearing nicer outfits is one of the parts of my journey that I look forward to most so I may contact you for weight loss help AND fashion advice! ;)

The Great Scottish Run was on last weekend in Glasgow - it's now my "something to aim for in the future". Best wishes for your race @memickee! :) *Edited numerous times because my brain and hands are not working well today!

Wow, lots of new updates and every one is kicking weight loss butt! Xx

Slow and steady is perfect - it will have set you up properly for the last 40lbs. Great work! :)

You were so beautiful before and just as beautiful now. You had to be strong when you had those hurtful comments thrown your way and I hope you're even stronger now! Those excuses for human beings are no longer worth your time or worries. Enjoy every moment your healthier life brings. ❤

I've lost 32.4lbs / 14.69kg which is the approximate equivalent of 7.33 x 2 litre bottles of juice! I can't even imagine having to carry that about all day, everyday, again. <3

I have a range of 5 different sizes since gaining the weight in recent years. I am now at the point that the biggest trouser sizes are too big, and do nothing for me, so will be donated/disposed of. I will be keeping only one pair as a comparison for those days when I don't see the difference in the mirror (my brain is…

Ha! "Wowwie Kazzzowwiee" makes me now think "Holy inch loss batman!"

I've been feeling up and down with my weight loss over the past couple of months i.e. the scale hasn't budged but I know I'm wearing smaller (old) clothes. This ties in with me starting back at the gym and now also lifting weights* so I've tried my best to keep remembering that it could be down to the gym effort. However,…

+1 to this! :)

Holy smokes! Very impressive! <3

Great work! Such a different outlook (and face!) :)
