Before and 'during' pics of success sofar! - Phentermine.com

yummymummy · January 16th, 2005, 02:45 AM

Hi everybody! This is my first attempt at adding photos on here... I hope it works! The first pic was taken 2 years ago before starting 'the diet to end all diets'. After being a full time mum and looking after my children and hubby for 10 years I realised I'd forgotten myself in the deal!
I was wearing size UK 24 which is a US 20 and the second pic was taken in December 2004 after losing 63 lbs and now wearing a size UK 16 (US 12).. sofar so good!!... I still have another 36 lbs to go but for once, the end is in sight! I'm 32 years old and feeling like a 21 year old again! Clothes shopping has never been such fun.
It's been such an inspiration seeing all the wonderful success stories on here and the site has really motivated me to keep going!
Lots of love and best of luck to all of you! yaaay us!

Thank you Steviegirl xx The best of luck to you too!
'Onederland' is only 7lbs away for me now and I can't wait to get there!

Wow, what a difference! So proud of you and I really feel that you will reach your goal weight sooooon! How did you do it for the last 2 years. I have a husband a 2 children and have been married for 10 years also. It's so hard when you need to feed them all the time!

Hi Sylvania and thanks for your kind words. xx
I always wondered how I got so big because we've always eaten healthily but I think it was the 'treats' on top of the otherwise healthy diet that did the damage. I kidded myself that I was exercising enough because as a mum, you're always running around. The thing was that I never pushed myself and got hot and sweaty! I work out 2 to 3 times a week now on my elliptical stepper for an hour each time and I walk everywhere now instead of driving (where possible)I used to drive the kids to school/quick errands to the local store/ parties etc and now we walk, back and forth, every day, rain or shine! It's good for all of us and hopefully it's helping them form a good level of fitness for when they're adults.
Planning meals is getting easier as time goes by. I invent new combinations of foods all the time. For example, if I make spaghetti bolognese, I have the sauce only, on a bed of green beans or spinach and mushrooms instead of pasta... If doing chinesey meal, I'll have it on salad instead of rice... It's fine once you get used to it and more than worth it when 'weigh-day' comes round each week.

All the best xx
