OMG! That is amazing! And you look so much younger! You must be so thrilled and justly very proud of yourself. What do your family think? I bet they're so proud of you.

You look fantastic! I have the same long term goal in mind Currently a size 22 and would love to eventually get down to a 14

[Michellewast in reply to echall]

At first I just wanted to get back into a 16 then when they were too big it gave me extra incentive to keep going x it is possible and stay strong xx

Excellent , what a huge loss! It takes time to master maintenance , do it slowly, I found just adding around 100 cals at a time, over a couple of months helped to stabilise .

[Michellewast in reply to elliebath]

If you don't mind me asking how much did you lose and how long have you been maintaining??

[elliebath Maintainer in reply to Michellewast]

In April 2014 , I was 12st which was overweight for my height 5ft 5. I lost it slowly by calorie counting and healthier eating but still had "party" foods /drinks, holidays etc. in moderation.

By Mar 2015 reached my happy size of 9st 12. Since then I've been maintaining in the range 9st 7 to 10st max. It's a way of life now. I dont weigh or measure foods anymore but I do weigh myself and if I gain more than 3 lbs, I calorie count for a week or so to keep things in check.

Ps I suggest you carry on calorie counting for 3 months until you are sure of your personal maintenance level.... then you can slowly relax a bit, not a lot, but a bit 😊
