reached my goal.......01/12/06

I am now below my goal weight and feel on top of the world

It seemed like the biggest mountain to climb in the beginning and it was difficult adjusting.

However after about 3 weeks my cravings died right down and my weight loss sped up. There have been rocky times but i must say this is the easiest way of eating ever!

I thought i would post these pictures to show what a difference a few months (8 months) can make to ones body and mind. It does take time, which can be frustrating, but weight loss cannot be rushed.....that was hard for me to accept, but once i did, it became much easier and i enjoyed the process.

The first pic is me trying on some jeans that are full to bursting..



The second pic is me having another go, after 20lb loss, i was so pleased as i could actually do them up. I nearly ran around the garden naked (i will save that for when i reach my target lol)



And now, another 13 lbs down.......so a total loss of 33lbs yipeeeeee




And now after a 40lb weight loss, these jeans can barely stay up woo hoo....so off to the charity shop they go



51 lbs lost and below my goal!.....sorry, please excuse the underwear on display....i havent run around the garden naked yet, i will save that for summer when i may even wear shorts for the first time in many years!



I think when i get fitter, i will post a nice skinny clothes pic.

If i can do this, anyone can!! I was a binge/compulsive eater.....for the first time in my adult life i seem to be in control....wow

Thanks for the support, its great here

Thanks for your kind comments It really spurs me on

What is best, losing weight or the support one gets here in this forum?

Yes it is true i have lost weight from all over....i carry a lot of weight on my arms and legs, so i have lost from all over rather than just my belly.
