So pleased to read that - u've done soon well and u deserve to be slim - can understand why it's taking a while to sink in tho - but I was chuffed to read ur feeling proud - and so u shd be - what a journey and ur an inspiration to others too - better stop there or I'll turn into a sycophant but WELL DONE!!Thanks everyoneHasn't really sunk in yet that I'm in the 10s when only this time last year I was pushing at 17 stones. And it also, I hope, goes to show you don't need to have massive losses to get somewhere...it all adds up. Fasting has turned my life around like I never would have believed. I did think for many years I was just destined to be fat forever. Fasting was the perfect fit for me. Could easily suck it up and be strong and focussed for a day at a time knowing I could relax the next day. And I'm glad that my decision to eat well on UDs didn't backfire on me. It was hard when other people were having a lot less calories on an UD not to panic and cut my own calories. You really can enjoy yourself and lose weight...without having to make things too hard on yourself. I love that more people have given fasting a go since I joined. I know some use it as a way to maintain and others as a switch when nearing goal or when another plan doesn't suit any more or isn't giving the desired results. I wish I could get all the non believers to give fasting a go!!
My mother is staying an extra night...blooming builders! I may have turned to cider to ease my pain

Have had a good day... well for the most part. Managed to get some extra work hours banked this morning which was a bonus. Had lots of nice tasty food and nibbles as I did an M&S food run late this afternoon. And had a nice quiet night in with strictly, casualty.. some cider and crisps arty0051: Have even found an old fat face pic I may put up tomorrow as a comparison now I've lost so much weight...how could I not have realised how fat I was?? All that was great. My minis experience today...not so much. Being sworn at and talked down to and then it being edited so it looks like it never happened and their behaviour is acceptable...yeah that leaves me kind of cold and disillusioned with this place.
If no better tomorrow I'll just use the profile pic from a few weeks back. Keeping my full length progress shots taken from the start till I hit target, but even facially the difference is clear to see. It's the whole whitewashing of it that has disappointed me. Anyway I'll write more tomorrow as it's late and I'm feeling hungry so off to get a snack before bed...perhaps some toast ...or maybe a sandwich
My mother is safely back home now
First pic at my heaviest of nearly 17 stone and last pic taken as my previous profile pic around 7lbs ago.(.. my twin spots are still taking up residence on my face today unfortunately.) I look boiling in first pic...as Kitty said to me a healthy rosy look This is because although I actually was boiling when we were out for lunch, I wouldn't take my cardigan off as I was so conscious of my size. These probably won't stay up long as I really wanted to wait till I got to target.. so this is just a quick preview.
Face comparison pic. I now keep looking at it and thinking can you tell the difference?
