[Steelgoddess]

Has anyone lost a large amount of weight using a diet or alternate method??

Would be good to hear about them and get some of us revved up for the new year!!

Just before becoming pregnant I lost a stone and a half through exercise alone in 3 months and dropped 2 dress sizes . I was going to the gym 3 times a week and doing 10km (4 on treadmill, 2 on rower and 4 on bike) or doing 2km in the pool (whatever I felt like doing when I got there). Wish I had the time now to do it, only get to the gym twice a week and nowhere near as fit as I was but I'm working on it . Looking forward to the summer so I can start hiking again, getting one of those back carrier in a frame to put Connie in and we can take a picnic .

I wish I had taken some, My bum looked great at the time . I look like a blimp now . I've done it once so can do it again. I can see why it's so dificult to lose weight after having a baby as you spend so much time sitting down feeding. I go to the gym Tues and Thurs which I have put on my calendar so DH knows to be home to look after LO those days.

When I was 19 I went to live abroad and put on a huge amount of weight through eating out every night snacking on all the wrong things and drinking alcohol every day. I had the best time while I lived abroad and dont regret any of it but when I came home I had no clothes to fit my size 1/20 so went straight to slimming world, I lost 4 stone and slimmed back down to my normal size 12/14.

Im back at slimming world again after having Maia trying to get down to a size 14, im a 16 at the moment, which is what I was when I fell pregnant. I put on a couple of stones gradually after meeting my hubby, contentment and generally enjoying life I suppose so would like to be a curvy 14 again.

I dieted and exercised for most of last year and lost 5 and a half stone. I put half a stone back on over Christmas but I'm back to healthy eating now and would like to loose another 2 stone this year and I should be back in a 10/12 by then hopefully.

This hideous pic was took in 2007 and I doubt I'll keep it up too long, I HATE it!

This is me in December 2008 after loosing 5 and a half stone over 11 months. (the one with drink in hand)

I lost 4 stone before I got pregnant. I still have shed loads of weight to lose but here are my pictures anyway:

Before. I think I must have been around 20 stone in this picture



This was in Gambia last year, when I got pregnant:



I put a stone on while I was pregnant which I'm OK with. I hate that first picture but love it at the same time cos when I don't feel like I'm getting anywhere with losing weight, it makes me feel better.

A few years ago I put on an awful amount of weight from taking anti-depressants and just generally being depressed. I did weight Watchers and lost 4 and half stone in just over a year, slimming down to weigh 7st. Im only 5"1 so didnt carry the weight well at all. I kept the weight off until I started TTC and I put on a stone to get pregnant ( I didnt feel all that healthy being so small although I looked fab)

Im doing weight watchers again, I put on a horendous amount with James (5 stone!!!!) Ive lost 4 already but want to get down to 7 and half again so Ive got 2stone to go Il find some pics in a bit xxx

 

[Steelgoddess]

God it just goes to show!!! You ladies have done fantastically I mean you look fab in before pics anyway but removing that weight is such a benefit for health!!

I just saw some recent pics of myself its spurring me to keep going i look awful to say the least...

 

[Tillytots]

Right found my pics!!! There are quite a few

The Ever changing body of Tilly.....Im like a bloody puffa fish sorry they're crap pics, I had to take a pic of a pic....no scanner!!

K, this is before I put on weight, I was always small all my life until I was about 19. I weighed around 7 and half to 8 stone here.

THEN this happened when I got down It took about 2 years to creep on. I went up to 11 and half stone!

THEN....after seeing pics of my fat ass on holiday I did Weight Watchers and here is my shrinkage

Dont ask

I was my smallest here, a bit like skeletor

And then James happened...cant believe Im even posting this one In my defence I was about to drop and I weighed just over 13 and half stone

And here is me now @ 9 and a half

Excuse the dry knees, I was just testing the dress.

SOOOO watch this space for more ever decreasing Tilly I should be smaller in 4months

you look hot in all those pics sharne!!
I am loving this thread, il post another pic when iv had significant weight loss, prob each half stone. Do you measure yourself aswell? I havent done this time apart from my waist but measurements is a cool way of seeing weight come off.
Well done all ladies whove lost weight and good luck to those who are ditching the pounds!

 

[lea m]

This thread is fantastic!
Well done all of you!
Tilly I think you look great as you are now!


I will have to try and find some old pics of me! I was small BC (before children lol) around 8 stone, then after my first 3 babies I never went back under 10 stone! Then it gradually crept up to 12.5 stone when I got pregnant with Lola and now Im 12lbs 5.5 and determined to get back to 10! I will be happy at 10 for now ! (Im 5ft8 so a good weight I think)
