I've decided I want to go down to 12 stone (so an additional stone). After that is surgery for the excess skin and muscle building.

Hahaha I've been experimenting. Now on light brown/ash blond which I think I'm going to settle on. Thank you!

You just take it one mini goal at a time. Getting into those jeans or that t shirt. Getting under this weight or reaching that amount lost. It's a little like a game. Look at the next bridge you are crossing not the one 3 miles down the road and it won't seem so bad. Good luck!

I don't' see me ever stopping using MFP. I think I am able to keep my weight in check without it perhaps but it would be silly to not check in from time to time. I'll probably weigh monthly and see how it goes. I might just make mental notes on my daily calories. I'm not entirely sure yet. Thank you though!

Thanks all of you. It's been an amazing experience and I've learned so much about myself and people in general. Mostly people are very kind, encouraging and not at all as negative as well assume.

Excellent Khill! It's an amazing feeling and I want it for you!

Good luck Bey! You can do it.

Yes it brings a lot of guilt with it when that happens. I once went to meet a friend I'd not seen for ages and she had lost 3 or 4 stone but I saw her from behind before she saw me and my heart sank...I knew when she turned around my weight loss was going to dramatically overshadow her own and that was terrible.

The sad reality is nobody else (yourself included) will really actually believe you an achieve it. A year ago wanting to be 13 stone was a flight of fancy yet here I am at 12 stone and 12 pounds. Will power and determination are the only things that get you through it. I wish there was a magic secret but there isn't. There…

Thank you that means an awful lot. I'll give it some thought :)

The great thing about it is that everyone a rounds you becomes victorious as well...lost track of the number of people who have gone on to lost 15 to 20 pounds because of me sharing my story. That is worth more than any personal weight loss.

Thank you....I don't handle all this very well as you can see. Just wanted to share what I learned along the way...oh and NEVER drink your calories!

*blush*

You will get there I'm sure :)

Everything feels uncomfortable!!! Beds..chairs...the floor is now unbareable to lay on when previous I would always lay on the floor! I still avoid high seating or benches though but I think that is less to do with my weight and more a personal preference.

My optician was concerned they had made a terrible error previously and I was going to sue them!

Thanks guys. Gonna spend the next 12 pounds tidying I think to see how it goes. Feel free to friend request me.

Call me

Excuse the filter...I'm vain now! This is having lost 202 pounds over the course of 16 months.

MFP followed to the letter for over a year. Simple and truthful. It has changed my life.

I really hope I am not breaking any rules here but if anyone feels that they can help then please do. http://www.gofundme.com/jeremyskinremoval

Whoops that should have been 82kg!

Just to update you all. I am 20 pounds on from the last update having now lost 13 stone (182 pounds or 28kg) I have about 18 pounds left to go and should be finished around my birthday in May. I am launching a website to help morbidly obese people lose weight in conjunction with therapy. My waist has now gone from 58…

Thanks guys. Put on 1 pound over Christmas but lost 3 in the first week since.

A few more photos for you all: Back in June in my old clothes at this point 5 stone lighter. In July meeting old friends in Leicester (6 stone lighter). My best friend leaves for Chicago in August (7 stone lighter). In November now 11 stone lighter than when I started. I really need to put those old clothes back on…

Maybe set that as a reward for yourself? Every little goal helps I find.

Never talk your weight loss down! 12kg is a huge achievement and you should always remember that. Who else can say they lost the equivalent of 12 bags of sugar in your near circle of friends?

Thank you everyone and especially thanks for the friend requests! Lost another pound when I weighed today (2 days early).

Thanks guys! You can visit the TARDIS set between October and Xmas every year. I also strongly encourage you to go and see the Experience as there is a specially filmed short with the new Doctor.

My goal was just to lose some weight in January 2014...I uh...kinda did that...
