Stealth free boast: I've reached my goal!

16 weeks ago I weighed 12st 5lbs. At 5'3, this put me into the 'Obese' BMI category. That was my lightbulb moment after months of being in denial. I felt lethargic, heavy and pretty disgusting all round. Was bursting out of size 14 clothing.

This morning I weighed 10st 0lbs.

I feel amazing. I have fundamentally changed the way I view food and exercise and in no way feel like I'm on a temporary 'diet'. The changes I've made will be the norm for the rest of life. I'm never going back to feeling that way ever again.

Feeling very happy and a wee bit smug today Smile.

Here are the before and after photos.

You look AMAZING. Well done, you should be bloody proud.

I've lost 48lbs since March. I'm now a big size 10/small size 12. Life's good. I'm proud of myself and love seeing other people who have done the same.

Well done op! You look amazing and it’s great that as it’s a lifestyle change you will be able to keep it off!

Love the dress, where is it from??

Amazing, well done x

Thank you everyone, such lovely comments. Means a lot 😊.

The dress is from Collectif. It's called the Penny pencil dress but I'm not sure it's available any longer tbh. I got mine a few years ago. Will have a quick Google and see if I can find it anywhere.
