Just had a thought, as there are a lot of female geeks on here, and we sometimes have threads about how were struggling to lose weight and how difficult it is. just thought maybe it would be an idea to share success stories and be a bit positive and show you can do it?

Ive lost 3st 3lbs since last dec, going from 16st and a size 18, now down to 12st 11 and a size 14 and im estatic. Ive fought for years with my weight and still cant believe myself that im different. until I just looked at a pic of me at last novembers sussex geek meet and i couldnt believe i was like that once. Have a look yourself:

and me now:

I just wanted to say if I can do it, anyone can, Ive still got a way to go, (especially those arms ) but its a lot way from my binge eating past. at my lowest point I would eat everything in my kitchen I could, once I even ate jam from the jar with a spoon and got a bag of chips out of the bin that my friend had thrown away. makes me feel quite sick now! x x

Hollie

Congratulations... you look much slimmer! Well done!! As for your arms... tone them up with small weights.. even a few cans of beans whilst you watch the TV!

i just got addicted to vegetables! couldnt afford much food when I moved into my flat so i just bought tons of veg and experimented with how I could make it taste good, also my mum bought me a steamer,and I only eat carbs with lunch, not with dinner, then I dont crave starchy or sugary things in the evening like I used to. and I eat lots of steamed fish and chicken. My favourite meal is steamed chicken caesar salad, gorgeous!! x x x

Well done hollie, its not easy losing weight, i must have been on every diet going over the last 15 yrs and the only one that worked for me 6 yrs back was slimming world.
Since then tho ive had major surgery and a full hysto so now got a wobbly pot belly once again that no amount of dieting will shift!
Ive now taken the drastic action of abdominolplasty and liposculpture to remove my jelly belly lol im booked in for the 2nd june and cant wait to get it over and done with.

well done sweety, you look like a different person! x

Id love to have that done! I know Im only young but my stomach is literally an empty sack from when I was pregnant. at the momoent I do about 100-200 reverse sit-ups a day and it hasnt made a difference to my 'wobbly bit' yet!

Thankyou for all your lovely messages x
