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

Thank you Candystripe šŸ˜Š

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 šŸ˜ŠšŸ˜ŠšŸ˜Š

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

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. šŸ˜ƒ

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

Congratulations candy stripe. How long did that take?

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

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

Candystripeā€¢ in reply tomoreless

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!

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! :)

Hi Candystripe,

So very happy to read you have reached your goal šŸ’šŸ˜ƒšŸŽ‰šŸ‘

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

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 šŸ˜€ X

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

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
