I CAN do this!

Just wanted to share my weightless news :D

I started this year feeling frumpy and old (yep crazy given I turned 27 in May) I was unfit and found it hard to play with the boys :( I wanted to make a New Years Resolution so badly but really hated that cliché. It was around the 3rd week in Jan when hubby took a photo of me that I hated what I saw, the reality hit me like a tonne of bricks and I made a choice. I made a goal without a time limit, all I wanted was to be able to run around with my boys and play with them for longer than a minute.

Since then I have lost 24.5kg. I have gone from being a size 18-20 to now a size 14-16! My health has improved so much, I had a problem with my liver which is now correcting itself, my skin, nails and hair are all healthier and I am feeling great.

I still have a minimum of 15kg to go (20kg gets me back to per children, but I'd be happy with a loss of 17kg), but I CAN do this, not just for but for my boys too!

There is no secret, I came off anti depressants (which have a side affect of weight gain) and I'm eating smaller portions, more of the good stuff and less of the not. I still have chips, lollies, chocolate, etc I just don't eat as much of them. I'm also making more effort to exercise, including walking the kids to the bus stop instead of driving.

Thanks for reading, I just wanted to share my story :)

That's an awesome achievement, well done!

That is an amazing achievement. Good on you!

Congratulations, that is a wonderful achievement!

You go girl :) well done!!!

Thanks everyone :)

This is so lovely to read! Good for you- you sound like you're in a really healthy place :D

WTG EK! I've been doing the same and like you having great success. It's hard work to start with but more psychological than physical. Next is getting back into exercise.

I can't wait to really see and feel the changes. People comment but I'm not seeing huge differences yet. Keep going! And hopefully I can post this soon too

Wow! You should be proud!

Thanks so much everyone!

Thank you, I really am in a great place now. I didn't realise how much my weight was affecting me until I started losing it. I actually want to do things now!

Well done! I've been taking my measurements and that's where I really notice it. I've lost 22cms on my hips alone since mid February.

I'm so proud of you! :hug:

Just popping in to update... 12 months since starting I have lost 38kg! I'm down to 72kg and fitting in a size 12-14 (depending on style/make).
I've fallen off the exercise wagon, due to some health issues mainly, but school holidays didn't help either! My next goal is to get back in to the workforce :)

Wow, that's awesome, well done!!

Thank you! :)

That's so awesome!!

Go for gold!!

Thank you :D
