From the Monday Weigh in to This!

[Candystripe]

Just had to share that today I reached my pen ultimate goal. I have now lost seven stone in total. I feel amazing! 😁😁😁

[Linda_pink]

That's amazing, you must be so proud x that requires a lot of hard work and commitment x

[Candystripe in reply to Linda_pink]

Thank you. It's not always been easy and sometimes I have had to deviate off course due to stormy weather BUT if you want it badly enough then it's yours for the taking.

Good luck. X

[YellowRose55]

Thank you Anna. I will do another post later on today and sum it all up. I may have a couple of little jewels to offer you on your way. Just reach for your dreams. X

[IndigoBlue61 in reply to Candystripe]

Thank you Candystripe 😊

What I am especially impressed with is you are still going after a couple of years, it seems to be taking me ages And I find it really encouraging that there are people like yourself who really have made permanent life long changes 😊😊😊

[Candystripe in reply to IndigoBlue61]

Hi Anna,

Please see my new post "Further to the Monday Weigh to this).

Brilliant and so inspiring for me and others who have a lot to loose just shows with grit and determination anythings possible. Enjoy the rest of the weekend feeling amazing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[Candystripe in reply to Itsbab]

Thank you Babs.

You have been amazing too by the looks of it. Doesn't it feel good when you go down another clothes size and people notice. Keep up the great work. X

[Itsbab in reply to Candystripe]

Thankyou yes it does feel great when clothes get too big but I still have to meet that one person that says "wow you have lost weight" I think I will probably shout from the rooftops when that happens lol. 😃

[Zest Healthy BMI]

Wow, Candystripe, that is AMAZING!!!!! Many Congratulations!!!! Really exciting news, and WELL DONE YOU on such a fantastic achievement!!!!

That news is so inspiring, and you are such a wonderful and lovely person, it's been brilliant being alongside you on your journey over the past months.

Wow, what great news to hear - I'm really excited!

Lowcal

[Candystripe in reply to Zest]

Dear Lowcal,

Your lovely comments really choked me up. From one who I can say I couldn't have done it without you and that is so the truth. The lovely Prin also needs a mention here!

We are still running the course together Lowcal and thank you for all you say and do and the inspiration for us all. Big hugs X

[Hidden]

Congratulations candy stripe. How long did that take?

[Candystripe in reply to Hidden]

Well to be honest it was two years. Not always plain sailing and I fell by the wayside a few times but I was determined to succeed. Only another 12 lbs to go to my goal weight!!!

Keep up the great work. X

[moreless Administrator 7 stone]

WOOHOO Candystripe!!! WTG you!! my pom poms are going crackers for you! Fandabedozy!

I'm absolutely delighted for you, it's been a long time coming and has taken a lot of hard work! You soooooooo deserve this!

Would you like a 7 stone badge?

[Candystripe in reply to moreless]

Thank you Moreless. Ooh yes please. Haven't had one since stone one lol!! X

[moreless Administrator 7 stone in reply to Candystripe]

I'm honoured to present you with this badge, Candystripe wear it with pride

[Candystripe in reply to moreless]

Okay, so crying shamelessly now. I was just one of those people who said "I can't do it". Thanks to this wonderful site of Health Unlocked who supported me through the good times and the bad.

That's my academy speech over.

I can only utter our motto.... onwards and downwards!

[moreless Administrator 7 stone in reply to Candystripe]

It's a very emotional journey and deserves a few tears, at times. I've actually bawled bucket loads, so I understand completely where you're coming from.

This community is definitely the best and I will echo.......

Onwards and downwards!

[nteapea]

[Candystripe in reply to nteapea]

[Hidden]

Hi Candystripe,

So very happy to read you have reached your goal 💐😃🎉👏

I will never forget your post when you fitted into a lovely blouse and the inspiration and motivation it gave me.

I'm still on the journey but I know I will get there ! Life throws us all kinds of challenges and it's not how long it takes, what is more important is that we get there.

Lots of love and continued happiness xx

😇

[Candystripe in reply to Hidden]

What a wonderful post to start my day - I have a smile on my face already. You must feel like a whole new person compared to when you started two years ago and to lose 7 stone is such an amazing achievement. You give us all strength to carry on, knowing what it is possible to achieve so thank you so much for sharing your happiness with us all; it is infectious! x

[Candystripe in reply to kalahuchi]

Thank you so much for your lovely response. Yes indeed it's possible despite me thinking it wasn't two years ago. Slowly but surely.

Have a good week and keep those dreams alive. X

[Hidden]

Seven stone wow fantastic you've have done amazing

[Candystripe in reply to Hidden]

Thank you. X

[Candystripe]

Thank you Concerned. Well I'm now 11st 4lbs and want to be 10st 7lbs so another 12ish pounds to go. I don't think any less would suit me. Blow all this what I must be for my age and height 😀 X

[LessToLose 4lbs Restart April 2024]

Woo-hoo - that is fantastic, Candystripe, you have been a total inspiration and well done on reaching your penultimate goal today

[Candystripe in reply to LessToLose]

Thank you Less To Lose for your very kind words. Never thought I would get there! Have a good week. X

[Candystripe]

My plan is my lifestyle that I have changed over the past two years. I don't always deny myself treats, I just work them in accordingly. I love going to the gym twice a week and have my personal trainer twice a week. I will keep it up. Basically nothing will change. I don't think I will ever get below 10 stone no matter how hard I try. ! Good luck to you X

[radioactiveblue]

Awesome! Well done

[Candystripe in reply to radioactiveblue]

It's not easy is it, but definitely worth it! Good for you too. X
