8.5 months and 70lbs less (pics)
This is me last June and this is also the photo that made me sit up and take stock of how fat I was and that I needed to do something. In August 2011 I was weighed at the hospital and I tipped the scales at 105kg (16 1/2 stone or 230 lbs or there abouts) and I was a size 20 (UK) and I was disgusted with myself. I was…

NSV and nearly at Goal
I'm going out on Saturday and I decided I needed something stunningly beautiful to wear on this now size 12 (UK) body so after school I said to my daughter (who's 6) that we'd go to Marks and Spencer and see if they had anything. I'd already seen one I wanted to try on but always up for seeing what is around. As we pull…

Blog Photos
I'm trying to put a photo onto my blog, have uploaded the photo to Photobucket and copied the link but nothing is showing apart from the link, please someone point me in the right direction as to what I'm doing wrong. Thank you

I'm nearly there - photos too
I started my healthier lifestyle last summer, woke up one Friday and decided to get my life back. I'm now a fully fledged member of a local gym, can run 5k, fit in size 12 (UK) clothes (and I've never been able to do that one). MFP has been an amazing tool in this journey, along with the people I've met on here as well as…

My C25K NSV
I posted this on my blog and a good friend said I should post it here too so here goes:- When I started my healthy regime last summer I saw the C25K programme and thought 'I'd like to give that a go'. Honestly, I was scared by the thought of me running, but I've turned my life around with weight loss, diet etc so why the…

Sometimes you can't help but smile - NSV
Like a lot of people on MFP, I've always struggled with my weight. I've lost weight, gained (and then some) and so the cycle continues. I turned 40 last May but even this didn't change my thinking. Last summer I sorted my head out (to me THE most important thing) and completely changed my lifestyle. I went from pizza,…

Underwear Progress Photos
I honestly can't believe I'm posting this photo but I want to (hopefully) inspire someone that this journey we are all on is a rewarding one. I started my new healthy lifestyle at the very end of July 2011. I didn't take photos to start with because I was far too ashamed of how I looked. I'd had a really rough couple of…

Not the best photo but I'm still smiling
I took this photo last night (hence the rubbish quality of it) of me in last year's summer cut off pants - I think I need a smaller pair this year. I can't tell you how much I was laughing trying to take the photo while holding them up.

My Christmas Comparison
Since August 2011 I have lost 47 pounds, I've no idea how much I weighed in the Christmas 2010 photo, suffice to say there's definitely a difference between 2010 and 2011.

I've lost my 6 year old daughter ..........................
since 30 July, yes that's right, today my weight loss reached 45 pounds which is the same weight as my 6 year old :laugh: I think this shows just how much 45 pounds does weigh because I struggle to pick her up and I used to carry that around and not even think of it. Onwards and upwards :happy:

3.5 months and 43 pounds down
and just writing that title I think 'it can't be me' but it is. This is the photo from June that made me stop and think that I needed to tackle my weight head on. Taken with my mum and my little girl. This is me now, 43 pounds lighter. I feel amazing Still some way to go. Today I hit overweight for the first time in about…

Onederland
I've been on MFP since the beginning on August and have now lost a total of 31 pounds. This morning I hit 199 pounds and I'm amazed with myself. More so because I weighed myself on Saturday to see if I'd lost a pound to hit the 2 stone (28 pounds) goal. I'm not going to re-weigh just in case it's not true. I've completely…

2 NSVs for Me
I've been using MFP for about 5 weeks now and have loved reading NSVs and success stories. Now I have my own NSV's to share. Last night I decided to try on some new PJ pants that I have and have never worn because they weren't big enough. XL ones fell off me, L ones were just right. So I was beaming like a mad thng in my…

Good Evening from me
My first post so wanted to say hi to everyone. Was told about MFP by a friend so thought I'd check it out to see how it all works. Have started healthy eating / exercising (for now the Wii Fit but after not doing anything for years, it's a start, have done between 1 - 2 hours every day). In the first week I've lost 7…
