WOW WHAT A STUNNER... WAHOOOO YOU LOOK AMAZING. WELL DONE. THAT IS SO INSPIRATIONAL.

How are you finding your skin, is it shrinking well like the rest of you, the more i lose the more i get, and am a little worried.

well done again, you look like a different person. much happier and healthier.

MellyP you look beautiful. Do you exercise? Your tummy is so flat.

Less of me, I too thought your pics were of 2 different ppl.

You are both so inspirational!
 
Shucks

Wow, thanks for all the kind comments everyone.. I was soooo unsure about posting them cos they are a little exposing!! and I really do feel like a different person, I feel like I am back!! I really hope it does inspire you guys to stick with it, this program is truly amazing! I still have a little way to go and I'm struggling at the moment but I will get there.
di78, skin is going ok, feels a little loose but it is shrinking back slowly, I feel really untoned and will probably head to the gym soon to fix that up.
isparkle50 - zero exercise so far, well maybe two goes on the treadmill but that's it, like I said I want to head back to the gym soon to tone up, but I know it will spike hunger so I'm not going to go crazy.
Thanks again, soo much!!
Who's next??? I'm sure there are many of you who have lost a heap and would really inspire everyone else... god if I can show myself in all my glory I'm sure others can too!!
Have a great day everyone and keep shrinking!!! x

MellyP you are an absolute beauty!

What a gorgeous girl you really are! Look at what that fat was hiding, a classic beauty in disguise!!

Losing weight is like watching a butterfly emerge from an ugly cocoon. When you have reached goal weight it will still take you a little while to look at yourself and realise what you have done. Never mind the loose skin and the bit of jelly belly, that will all firm up in time. Don't start rushing off to the gym and losing sight of the main game - the loss of the fat and the stabilisation of the weight.

Don't rock the boat. Sit quietly and keep paddling!

When you took that first photo I'll bet you had no idea of how you would look at the end. I had no idea for myself, no concept of the figure that was hidden within the mishapen body.

Michelangelo famously, on being asked why he wanted a particular piece of marble replied 'Because within this marble there is an Angel'.

Within you there was a beautiful woman - watching her emerge is bringing tears to my eyes.

Thank you and Bless you MellyP for your brave photos.

Lotsa love

OMG Chelsea you totally blew me away and choked me up with your post - thank you!!! You have such a wonderful and unique way of seeing and communicating with the world!! Your so fantastically descriptive you paint pictures in my head! That's a gift girl - you should write a book!!!:D
 
wow that is amazing! there is such a difference and what a transformation! it is really inspiring. thank you for sharing :)
 
Halfway progress photos

Hi

My transformation to this point is not as great as yours but I'm still pretty pleased with the way I'm beginning to look. My skin still has a long way to go in the shrinking stakes and I seem to have lost a lot off my face so my neck looks a bit scraggy but hell.... who's complaining.

Hi Dizzy

Well, at least you now have a neck! The shorter hair style is much more becoming - shows off your shoulders, face and neck much more than the previous style. Very chic!

You have dropped about ten years and a handsome figure is emerging. The paisley top would look fantastic on you now - I have always been a fan of paisley, it is such an elegant design, but now instead of the top trying to disguise what cannot be disguised, the top can be worn for its own glory!

To come down from 116 kilos to 86 kilos is fantastic - what a stunner you will be at 59 kilos! Even your own Mother will have trouble recognising you!!

Don't worry about the skin. The body is doing one job first, it will then do another. My throat and face have 'bounced back' - when I first finished the program the lines around the mouth were a little deeper, but now, six months later, everything has smoothed out again.

So just keep on, it will all sort itself out. I have continued to take the fish oil capsule each day and I am convinced that this wonderful stuff has really contributed to the general good health of the skin. If you haven't been taking an oil capsule (ONE) each day you may care to consider starting soon for at least the remaining 27 kilos.

At this rate, you will have reached goal and completed refeed by the end of the Financial Year. Hmmm. That Tax Refund will come in mighty handy for the wardrobe replacement fund - and maybe some streaks in the new hairstyle, too, and some lovely, long, dangly ear rings to show off that elegant and gracious neck!

Cheers

Chelsea
 
Fantastic work Dizzy! Your persistence is certainly showing off. Way to Go!
All the best

Hi Dizzy,
We have very similar starting, ending and current weights! I'm about 3-4 kgs ahead of you - about 83 currently. I also have a similar pear shape to you......

You are looking fantastic - and it will just get better and better

Can I make a clothes suggestion? But I found that my shape is far more suited to wrap or crossing over tops, so long as the wrap isn't right under the bust - it needs to be low down, near the waist or hips. I've found these particularly helpful, as my shrinkage always occurs first in the bust, leaving me looking even more hippy. Now that I fit into hipster pants, I also find them very flattering and slimming.

Its my 6 month mark on Saturday, so I'll add some photos on that day.

Before And During Cohens

omgsh.
i really didnt realise JUST how fat i actually was :eek: :eek: :eek:
the first thumbnail is at my brothers engagement party in march (i was wearing the leopard print dress WHAT WAS I THINKING)...and the second thumbnail is at work on NYE just past..ive only lost 10 kilo atm so ive still got the 20 kilo photo, then 30 kilo photo to go...:p
 
Thanks

Hi guys
Thanks for all the wonderful feedback. I didn't realise how large I had gotten until I look back at photos - I think it must be a self-protective mechanism to not see yourself as others see you.

Chelsea- I am already taking fish oil but am still finding my skin is really dry. It seems to go in cycles where my hands are almost peeling and the weight is dropping off and then the weight loss stops, my hands improve and the cm start falling off. The body is an incredible thing!! I was also thinking of chopping all my hair off when I get to goal as I have always wanted of those little pixie cuts but haven't had the face for it.

Heavenlylamb - thanks for the suggestion of the wrap tops. The photo was actually taken in my uniform and I am limited as to what I can wear, but for civvies I will certainly look into them. We do have similar goals. I started 16 weeks ago 0n 4th Seeptember. When did you start?

Cath, Pumpkins and Nans - thanks for your comments. It's just incredible how this forum helps with the support.

Hello not so fat cat anymore

Your pics are amazing, for ten kilo's I can see a huge change. Well done and keep up the amazing work.
Dianne
 
FAT CAT! For only ten kilos the change is remarkable - you actually do not look overweight in your 10kg picture.
Fantastic work girl.
Keep it going!
Cath
 
MellyP - thats just what I needed to see - thanks
How hard has the journey been - and was it easier than you thought - or does the weight loss keep the motivation? You are looking good - my goal is also around 54 - lets see who gets there first?
haha :)
 
Hi All

Every's progress is Amazing

I'm an ex-cohens girl, coming back after maintaining my refeed weight just to loose 6 more kg.

I have a few after photos on my webpage under "new" and all the other photos are the old me. I started weight loss at my peak weight of 96kg and now maintain at about 64.5kg. I'd like to get into the 50's even though i'm at my"goal weight"

if you like go to



my husband made it for me (super sweet)
