The Diet Update - I've Lost 7 Stone (pic's included)

I had a thread in the summer, when i was at a weight loss of 5 & half stone, well i hit the seven stone mark!!


The first pic is of me @ 23 stone 1 pound (don’t ask how I got that big)
The second is of me now around 16 stone, with my sisters baby (not mine!!)

The diet I used was a healthy eating diet (slimming world) none of that quick fire stuff that is no good for you in the long term IMO.... I go along to class most weeks with loads of old biddies!!

I lost 5 stone 7 pound in the first year and then took a year off (caught up in life) and then went back upto 20 stone.. I started again in Febuary and have lost 4 stone since then, so 2 years of dieting and I’m seven stone less… and feel goooooood! I was always happy at 23 stone, but I feel more confident now.

The third pic is of me and my lovely girlfriend of 5 months Emma, who helps me cook all my meals and puts up with my weird eating habits!

I wanna lose another stone maybe stone and a half to finish me off.. hope to be done by Easter… xmas will be hard but I’m sure I will cope!

Exercise is also a big key, football every Monday and maybe out on the bike once or twice a week..

WOW! congrats mate! You look WELL different! Good on ya! Pleased to here you've used healthy food and excersice rather than one of these fads :)

how tall are you?

wow, very impressive :eek:

you're looking great now and it's good to hear you're still with emma :)

:eek: well done m8 , thats one hell of a change :)

Wow, well done mate you look like a totally different person.

You look like Mike, my man from Sweden :) Good looking chap, he is... haven't seen him for ages.

You have given me total inspiration, I may not be 23 stone but being 5'10" and 16st 6lbs I look like I am! I'm gonna try to diet properly (maybe after christmas though).

Did you go to the clubs or what? I couldn't do that... need to find healthier food to eat!

BLOODY HELL! you look great, i wanted say no, you look like you lost a few years aswell as stone. and your bird.. well, theres a girl to be proud of.

WOOAAA SHES WELL FIT...

erm... welldone on the weight loss... i went from 13st to 12st a few month back... thought it'd be a laugh to diet.

HOLY *%£*£($* YOU DA MAN!

I lost like 3 stone from 12 and a half to 9 and a quarter but believe me, there's still a lot of fat on me! So i need to lose about another stone then i'll be sorted but at this point i cba although it's going to be a new years resolution

Any diet tips for everyone?

Excellent work dude - you've even managed to lose weight off your hair. An amazing improvement!

Well done m8,

Is it more than me or is there more than a passing resemblance to Johnny Vegas in that first pic ?

Excellent work m8, I am fortunate enough to never have had weight problems, but I can sympathise with those that do.

Footy IMO is the best way to stay fit, any chance you can get playing for team maybe sunday league?

what about if you hate footie?

I haven't been able to get to the gym which sucks 'cause the weight can slowly creep up if you're not careful.

I used to go on slim fast which was a laff 'cause i forced myself to drink that horrible stuff. It worked though, i also went on random diets which you can only go on for a month but you lose crap loads of weight.

I need to get skinny >_<

played

nice one mate, what an achievement, u looking fine! (as is your lovely lady friend)
