60lbs in 8 months! Nearly at goal!!
I started my journey on 26th May '12. I was at my heaviest non-pregnant weight of 220lbs / 15 stone 10 and was miserable. I hated my body! So I decided to join MFP and start logging everything I ate and all the exercise I did. No fad diets, no cutting down on carbs, just counting calories and low impact exercise. I found…

My Before and After Pics - 6ft tall and 70lbs lost
I started losing weight the day I joined MFP - 26th May 2012. I've never been thin, even as a teenager, and after having 3 kids in 5 years my weight just kept creeping up. On the day I decided to lose weight I weighed in at 15 stone 10 / 220lbs. Today, the scales said 10 stone 10 / 150lbs :) I started out doing low impact…

Then and Now - 4 stone / 56lbs lost
My weight's been a bit stuck lately so I've been looking through old pics to motivate me. I still have 14lbs to go and I can tell they're going to be the hardest!! It's my 24th birthday in a few days so I was looking back at pics from previous birthdays, and I found some from my 20th & I think there's quite a big…

Surprise NSV!
I ordered a pair of skinny jeans in a UK size 12 despite not feeling like my 14s were way too big.. they were getting loose but I figured they were just getting stretched out. I was planning on having my new ones as goal jeans. Well, they arrived today & when I looked at them they seemed TINY. I was scared to try them on..…

6 Months In and 50lbs Lighter! (Pics)
I made the decision to change my life for the better on 26th May, & since then I haven't looked back! I've always been on the bigger side, even as a teenager. And having kids has meant my weight has fluctuated a lot in the past few years, but I always seemed to stick around 210lbs. In May I got up to my heaviest…

40lbs Lost So Far..
On 26th May this year I made the decision to lose weight & do it seriously this time.. no messing, no gaining it all back again. I gained way too much weight when pregnant with my second child & since then I've been overweight, but it got to the point earlier this year (after 3 pregnancies) where I found myself getting…

Someone said my face looked slimmer... (pics)
I was told today that my face was looking slimmer and I didn't really believe it until I was looking through old pics on FB and came across one from when I was around 220lbs (my heaviest weight).. and then I took one tonight at 197lbs and I think there's actually quite a difference: I'm feeling better about myself every…

My dress fits!!
I bought a UK size 14 dress at the beginning of June knowing it wouldn't fit (I've been a 16-18 for a long time now) & when I tried it on the zip wouldn't even do up a tiny bit, it was nowhere near! This morning I tried it on again... and it FIT! It zipped up all the way :) I'm 198.8 as of today & hoping to reach my next…

Two reasons to be happy today!
This morning the scale said 199.8!! Finally under 200 again :) AND.. I just ran 5k in 34 minutes!! Considering 2 months ago I couldn't manage 5 minutes of running without feeling out of breath I think that's pretty good :) I feel so awesome now. I hope everyone is having an awesome weekend!
