SarahUK is on a distinguished road
Default Work in progress - before and during from 319lbs to 216lbs

I'm still very much a work in progress, but I feel like I've cracked it with this WOE and I will get to my goal and stay there. So far I've lost 103lbs (over 7 stone) in just over a year. That's an average of 1.87lbs per week.

My next mini goal is to be under 200lbs by the end of this year and if I could get to 190lbs that would be brilliant, but if I don't that's OK too. The lower I go the slower it will come off so as long as I keep going in the right direction, that's all that matters. This is now my lifestyle and not just getting to goal.

I started going to the gym a couple of months ago and last week I started jogging on the treadmill which is something I've dreamed of doing for years and thought I'd never be able to do. I've also started doing aerobics and body conditioning classes.

Hoping to get to 151lbs by Summer 2010.

Oh.My.God!!! Are you sure years are going forward for you? Because your pictures say otherwise. You look great!

Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"

Well done!

Thanks so much for posting your pictures!!

People uploading their before and during photos is what makes this forum so motivational.. Without them I am sure 50% of the people who have succeeded would have fallen off the wagon and gone back to their old ways... You might not know it, but your actually a hero and probably even saving some lives by uploading your progress!

Well done again and keep going, keep it up and keep smiling!
