Hey everyone. I really hope those who helped me get on track are still around to see that i'm staying on track :) Since Jan 17 I've lost 6st 12lb... I don't dread going out anywhere for fear of not fitting in seats,i dont hesitate to get my eyes tested or teeth checked due to fear of breaking the seat. I dont panic and find ways to cancel social events or work meetings if I've not already been to the building and checked I can fit in the seats. I'm happier now. I've still got a long way to go but I've signed up to a new gym now that has a pool,gym, fitness classes, sauna and steam room etc. The classes have helped me to make new friends and the sauna etc helps me to take time to relax and look after my wellbeing- i',m not scared to try new machines at the gym and i'm smashing 100 sit ups every day - at the start i'd struggle to do 10 and my back would hurt.
I look and feel much better now. This week I've been able to buy shirts from high street shops (and one was size XL!!). I'm going to be able to wear actual button shirts for work and look smart wearing clothes that actually fit me now - before things would hang off me as I just felt so self-conscious and uncomfortable. Me and my partner are looking into IVF now (for her to carry) and I'm not nervous at all about the medical appointments etc.
Nust thought i'd drop by to document progress as reading my first few posts on this thread makes me proud and emotional about how far i've come and how much my life has changed ❤ Thank you so much for reading xx
 
So this week i've passed the 100lb mark... I got weighed today and realised that ive lost 6lb this week... now ive lost 103lbs (7st 5lbs). Quite emotional tbh. I can wear jeans from highsteeet shops now and ive been able to sell lots of my bigger clothes online. Its funny because i thought losing weight would solve lots of my problems - ive realised that losing weight didnt make me feel more confident or confortable - learning to love myself and my body did.
Before I would always run to food in times of hurt or upset. My nanna sadly passed away last year and ive still on track and staying healthy rather than eating crap and then feeling crap.
I started this blog with 170lbs to go... now I only have 67lbs left to lose and my goodness that feels good!!
 
Wow how things have changed since my first post here!! I've just passed the one year anniversary of my weightloss journey!! In one year I have lost 11stone 2.5lbs (156.5lb) and life is so different now!! I can fit in chairs!! I can go to the theatre, travel on trains and planes and even go on theme park rides!! For everyone starting their journey be excited! There is a life out there waiting for you to go live it! God luck!!
 
Congratulations on an immense achievement (pun intended). Thank you for sharing your success story FG. I think it's really important for all of us, but especially newbies, to see that it is possible with determination.You are an inspiration! :)
