Wow randall , that's fecking awesome! And 10 st at 5.8 is skinny!
Can't wait to see your photos bssh!!!

Here are my before and after photos. I'll remove them after a few days (for privacy). BMI 36 to 24 :) I'm 43 but I don't think my face looks drawn so will keep on aiming downwards for 22 or 21 BMI. I'll now also start doing physique photos to monitor weight training effects on my body.

Wow Bssh, what a transformation!
You are soooo beautiful!

Bssh such a change! You look fabulous!
And Randall, definitely awesome.

I'm off on hols tomorrow for 2 weeks, there's supposed to be wifi but who knows. I don't suppose I shall eat any worse than I am doing at the moment anyway, TBH.

Wow Bssh you look fantastic! Really, really well done.

You look fantastic Bssh amazing work!

bssh you are gorgeous and look totally fabulous! Did you say you were 43? You most definately do not look it. Well done you, a true inspiration for us Chiefs who still have a way to go. Thank you for posting them.

I know I'm on my hols (tis sooo hot here in Spain, hoping I'm melting my fat away!), but started logging today. I've had 3 days of eating whatever I like but time to try and control as much as possible. Should be doable as we are at the in laws house.

Anyhow didn't come on to gloat about hols, just wanted to say how fab Bssh is

Hope all Chiefs are doing well. Enjoy your holiday double. We will work off our holiday excesses together!

bssh you look so gorgeous! V beautiful!
double just enjoy your hols, chief ing can always wait, it's 2 weeks that we look forward to all year, and no point stressing about food, especially when it's such a key part ( well for me at least)

Oh Bssh ... you look amazing and very beautiful and not at all 43. And congratulations on the size 10. A big change. I know what you mean about sizing ... I'm still taking 12s and 14s with my 10s into the changing room just in case.

I have half heartedly looked for photos of me before .... I might have a proper look now.

Have a lovely holiday Double. And hope you're enjoying yours SDP. And agree with Dinks that holidays are not for stressing about food ... or indeed booze.

Tea photos photos photos, I wanna see!

Thanks for your lovely comments - they are very motivating. 15 lbs to my new goal of BMI 21. I hope to get there by November or December.

Another one piling in to admire Bssh's photos - you have done so amazingly well! And no, you do not look 43 and neither do you look drawn - those are killer cheekbones Very inspirational!

I've now finished the chocolate fridge cake I made last week (been logging it as Rocky Road, which isn't veggie but weight for weight is probably the same - basically chocolate with bits of biscuit and sultanas and shite like that in it) so feeling relieved about that - and actually fairly pleased with myself that I managed to keep it in the fridge for a whole week and not binge on it.

I've not been on it really, this week - hardly any chance to exercise apart from my Monday swim, but even that was a bit half-hearted. I'm taking my running kit on hols with me TOMORROW CHIEFS - it's normally a fair bit cooler in the Highlands than in London

Randall I am stunned and so impressed by 3lb off.

Double we'll get there in the end chief.

SDP enjoy your hols!

Evening gorgeous chiefs.
I am just back from a fabulous evening spa at a plush place with work colleagues (prize thingy) Was fab. Lovely place, fab treatments and lots of wine. And a steak sandwich.
I wore a bikini. I never wear bikinis in UK. I am still a work in progress but it felt fab.
As did the wine

A bikini

You go girlfriend! (You can't see me but I'm finger clicking in a Z shape and neck-snaking too)

Oh I am a long way off Gisele
But for a hefty 40 yr old, I am ok. Better than 6 months ago anyway.

I have also bought my first ever bikini! Partly weight loss and partly the threads on mn about how women in hot countries just get on with it regardless of their size. And nobody cares! Admittedly those women don't have my tippex-white skin but hey-ho.

I have lost and gained the same 5lbs for over 6 weeks now. I know it means that I need to get on with exercising but it's been much too hot to even contemplate it. Even more annoying that those lbs are the borderline between overweight and healthy bmi-wise - arghhh!!

And buzzy chocolate fridge cake - well done on resisting! Even the thought of it is pushing me back into overweight

Look at us, all proud in our bikinis
I do like being 40. I seem to have developed a "fuckit" attitude. So what if I don't look like a Victoria's Secret model on the beach? I never did when I was 19 either!

Park run done, lots cooler than last few weeks, phew. I did do a Tea and did an erm, little wee
Must remember not to hydrate too much before run next month

Eeek, just did a sneaky mid-week weigh and I'm down another pound, 0.6 to go. Waaaaaah.

(Soz you pissed your pants Lizzy but big respect for the running)

Randall woohooo!!

Randall
You are such a superstar dieting queen

Randall when you reach goal, what's your maintenance strategy?

I have no idea Bssh! But saying that I had no strategy when I started this either

I just going to keep logging and see how it goes.

I need to get there first though. Come on last half pound, fuck off now, I've got a week and a half, I want my champagne god damn it!

Randall I have no doubt you'll work it out as you go along :)

Get that champagne on ice Randall you are nearly there!

You rock

Good god randall you have been awesome at this! Tell us birthday so we can all prep our own champers!
lizzy what date you go on hols, ours is the 7th, cannot wait!
lego how are you? Sorry to hear about the same 5lb for ages, mines been a bit like that tbh, but sort of happy maintaining now so it's ok. Bikinis. Definitely the way to go, I took the plunge about 5 years ago, after deciding that one pieces just look frumpy and are actually too bloody hot, and have never looked back. NO one looks at you!!!!
