This is what 72lbs weight loss looks like 8 hard months or gruelling work outs and eating healthy but also 8 months of gaining strength and confidence. Never been so proud of myself !!!!

When you lose weight you still have the same insecurities... Because sometimes it's not the weight on the outside it's the way you see yourself. I still see a fat 21 stone girl looking back at me, when really I should be over the moon that I am 5 stone + down from what I was less than 9 months ago... Nights when I can't decide what to wear are still there, nights where I feel fat and want to eat my weight in junk, days where i wear my baggy black tops are still there... Losing weight isn't the end of it, you have to learn to change your opinion of yourself as well and that is harder than any exercise or diet I have done so far ! That is real progress not what the scales tell you but how you feel about yourself. I'm learning but slowly after all my life of benign fat (23years) I am starting to change my opinions of myself.

Weightlifting problems, fit around the waist, tight around my legs.

Cornflakes and rice crispies

I used to have a flat bum and fat legs now I have a toned bum and toned legs I'm working in my glutes to get a nice round butt. The thing is now I can get skinny jeans that fit me around my legs and bum but are huge around the waist. A year ago I was a size 24 uk these jeans are a size 16 uk :)
