August 2019 and August 2020. 55lb lost aka 25kg . It's not easy. I felt demotivated at times, such as right now. Put on a few pounds from holidays but feeling determined to keep going. I know I can do this. We all can.
Main thing is to just give yourself time and recognise your achievements and goals no matter how small.
Keep well everyone x
Wow.... that is an amazing transformation. Well done you. And thanks for sharing, it is moticational knowlng that it can be done.
What plan did you use?
Exactly. It can be done! Whether you make little changes, big changes, diets, exercise. The main things is time and patience and staying motivated, which can also be the most difficult part.
I didn't follow a specific plan but I tend to try and ensure my diet is in this sort of proportion. Fats: 40-50%. Protein: 25-35%. Carbs: 15-25%. As well as this I monitored my calorie intake.
This attempts to control any blood sugar spikes that promote the storage of fat.
The main thing is what works for you. If you control your portions but ensure you're full and satisfied and get the nutrition you need that's the main thing 
Thanks.
WOWZAS ! Looking good girl! x
Thanks very much. Still a ways to go but the support is appreciated <3
Hi successdullloser, you look fabulous, you must be so pleased, terrific weight loss. I think we all struggle at times, I am today. I really fancy either chocolate or biscuits, I’m not hungry I just want something other then fruit/ vegetables and protein. I don’t have chocolate in the house so can’t have any thank goodness. Your photo is inspirational, might stop me being naughty today🙃
Getting through cravings can be so tough! I feel you.
Something I've tried: If you like it, get some 85% dark chocolate and some almonds. A square or two of dark chocolate can help satisfy the cravings and it is packed full of antioxidants, more so than blueberries. You can combine it with the almonds for an indulgent but guilt free snack. The main thing is always the portion size.
It's important to treat yourself now and again but I hope you can get through the spell of cravings. You know it will pass
Aw thank you so much for the tip! I shall remember that when I’m am struggling, your photo is making me stay on the straight and narrow! You have done amazing, well done.! 👏👍
Wow wow wow! Definitely successful. These pics should be your motivation. Well done!
You weight loss is absolutely amazing, you look great. Is that maybe 3 or 4 dress sizes ? I am unsure how I got to this page. I thought I had logged on to NHS website. Do they provide a diet or just advice? Many thanks
The NHS can provide eating advice and a weight loss please. See here for the plan and some useful links on nutrition, calories and weight loss I didn't officially use this, but it's a healthy way to go about it! nhs.uk/live-well/healthy-we...
Thanks very much. I will weigh in tomorrow and read as much info as I can. Keep up the great results.

How about taking some measurements, too? Sometimes there's a change in the inches when the scales aren't being so friendly
Definitely agree there. Waist and thigh measurements especially!
WOW! You look incredible! It's the kind of transformation people don't believe they can achieve so thank you so much for sharing.
You have done amazingly. So impressed!
That's the point IT CAN BE DONE. It's mostly a matter of patience and motivation. And it can be hard to maintain that for very long!
Thanks for the lovely comment 💓
You look fantastic and more importantly, I’m sure you feel fantastic too 😀Well done 👏

hi, thank you for posting to spread the positivity and support. You look amazing , well done : )
Wowww . Thats a fab result. You have motivated me. Thank you.
Good luck whaleroad. I was in a similar situation. You can do it.
Well done. I've done about the same over the last year...but I still have 30kgs to go...roll on 2022
I still have plenty more to do myself. It feels like forever but the time flies and then you look back and you're like 'Wow, I did that'.
Best of luck and all the support for you
That's some transformation!! WOW!!
That’s really inspiring, very well done.
Well done you ...you don’t need to lose more just stay as you are. Brilliant 🤗😀
Haha I appreciate that. I have a bit more to go but it's mainly also toning up and being fit. It's not just about the scales I would like to be healthier in general I think that's what people should strive for over anything else.
