  • 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.

    Started 9th September 2008
    Start weight 319 lbs
    Current weight 189 lbs
    Total lost 130 lbs
    Next goal - 165lbs by 30th June 2010
    Final goal weight 151 lbs
    Getting there 1 lb at a time.

                    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!

                          Thank you all for viewing my pictures and your replies.

                          I do feel 10 years younger and I feel so excited about all the things that I'm now able to do and all the things that I will be able to do as I lose more weight and it's thanks to Dr Atkins and the members of ADBB that I've made it this far.

                          I hope my pics do help motivate others. I know other members pics have motivated me along the way.
