tbcolman - You're welcome! Glad my comments helped. I almost deleted them because I felt so exposed emotionally....but if putting my feelings out there helps others with similar battles then I'm happy.

I've lost 35lbs in the last year and have gone from obese to healthy BMI wise. I've still got a few lbs to lose to look & feel my best but I'm not sure how many (could be anywhere between 10 - 20lbs). I guess I'll know when I get there! I've learned that it's OK to feel my emotions (even the really negative ones) instead…

My weight crept up over a few years and I knew I was overweight but never felt motivated to lose the weight. I've always been fit no matter what weight I've been as I'm a regular runner. I've ran skinny, I've ran slim, I've ran chubby and I've ran fat. I thought I could get away with a little extra weight because of my…

Hiya. I'm 5'5" and 153lbs. I started on Jan 1st at 181lbs. I'm looking to drop another 14lbs, or so, and maybe more depending on how I feel/look when I get to about 140lbs. I'd like to be 140lbs (or less?) by December as my birthday is on the 16th! I'm always happy to support others and accept friend requests!

You look great. Well done!

Well done!!! You look great! I am also 25lbs down with another 25lbs to go (or maybe 5lbs either side of that!). I'm losing about 5lbs per month on average so hoping to be at goal by my birthday in December (plus Xmas and New Year!!!).

Well done! You look great!!!

Wow!!! You look AMAZING!!! Could I ask some stats, please? Age, height and start/end weight? Thanks. It helps me to put things into context.

Amazing!!! Also...wow, boobs & butt!!! Awesome hour-glass figure. Looking hot!!! My goal is to lose 55lbs in total...I'm 24lbs down so far. Pictures like yours keep me motivated. Thank you!

Well done! You look great!!!

Thank you for your post and well done on the weight loss. You look fabulous and I wish you all the happiness in the world with your children and new love.

Hi there! I have very similar legs to you (your photo could be a photo of my legs!!!)....my calves are huge but I don't mind them too much as they are pretty toned from running and I like having that difference between calves and ankles. It's far better than having dreaded 'cankles' in my opinion! I'm also 5'5" and started…

I love this thread!!! You are all so amazing!!!! I can't wait to add my before & after pictures on here! I'm 22lbs down with at least the same again to go (maybe more, I'll see when I get there!).... I'm so glad I did 'before' photos at my highest weight (brutal underwear shots - front, side, back) so that I can see the…

You look great!!!

Fabulous!!!! Rocking that bikini!

Well done, Lillian!!! I love the 'This Girl Can' TV ad....shows women of all shapes and sizes being active and making the most of life. It's awesome!!!

Fabulous!!! You look amazing! Looking your abs!!! Could I ask your height, start weight & current weight? Thanks!

Well done!!! You look amazing - fit, toned, healthy, happy and yes, younger! Win, win, win, win, win!!!!! May I ask your age and height? You look like you may be quite tall. I started at 181lbs and am at 162lbs (I'm 5'5" and 42 years old) with still a long way to go. Seeing amazing transformations like yours really helps…

Rocking the bikini! Enjoy Mexico!!!

Well done! You look great!!!

Like others have said....it looks like an intolerance to something. Personally I bloat like this (pregnant looking firm belly as opposed to squishy fat belly) when I've had too much wheat. I also get tummy pains and an itchy *kitten* (sorry for TMI!!!!). Never been tested but I have recently cut out wheat (and most other…

Amazing! You look great and I love, love, love your red dress.

Well done! You look fabulous. Could I ask your height, please?

Well done! You look amazing.

Well done!!!! Really noticeable difference. My starting measurements (taken on Jan 1st 2015) are very similar to your starting measurements and my 'before pictures' are also very similar to yours, we have a very similar body shape!....but I was 181lbs (at 5'5") and have lost 16lbs so am still very much a work in progress.…

Well done!!!! You look fabulous. Huge difference in the tummy region (which is where I need to lose it too) and I'm sure you'll rock that bikini. Mexico is fab - enjoy your hols!!!!

Well done, girl!!! Gorgeous!

Well done! You look fabulous!!!

Well done! You are gorgeous in the before & after photos.

Well done! Amazing achievement and really interesting observations. I'm fascinated by the changes in glasses/eye fat thing!!!! Who knew?
