  • yea im a uk 20 id like to be 10 as well. seems we have similar goals.
  • wow looking at it that way its actually made me much happier =] 2lbs is quite alot when u see it like that. thanks
  • yeah, it be good to keep in touch with someone with same starting and goal weight as me whats your goal time? uve done really well coming down from the 300s im inspired
  • right now im hopeing for an average of 2lbs a week maybe less so im thinking by next febuary or march ill be there give or take
  • what size was you when you started if you dont mind me asking? im hoping to be my goal weight by new years eve this year.
  • when i started at 335 i was i think in newfoundland 24 so 28 uk O____O
  • and youve droped 4 dress sizes :O thats wonderful. random question but did your skin tighten up with the weight loss or do you have like flabby bits?
  • Quote: i want to be about 36/26/36 at the min i am 42/41/46...wow bigger than i thought, it is possible?
    I've got almost the same starting and goal measurements.

    My starting measurements were (from what I remember): 44/35/46
    My measurements now (at 131 pounds) are 37/26/36

    A lot really depends on where you carry weight, your bone structure, etc. I think I have the waist that I do because I have a very triangular ribcage, which explains why it measures at 32" just under my bust but 26" at my natural waist
  • wow now that has deffo inspired me and how long did that take?

    I'm aiming for New Year's Eve too as my end goal (although I'm aware it could take less or more time depending on me). I want to buy a knock out dress & go for cocktails that night feeling slim & sexy.
  • i dont have loose skin , everything went back right, my arms need toning but that comes with the female territory anyways lol they almost always need toning. i do a lot of dance i dont know if that helped keep me firm or just age and genes

    yea i want to buy a gorgeous dress and just go out into town bumping into as many people as i know for them to not recognise me. going to get my hair and nails done, the works.
  • im scared of losing the weight but being all flabby and covered in stretch marks =[
  • Quote: wow now that has deffo inspired me and how long did that take?
    7 months to go from 192 to 135 but a little less than a month later (so 8 months) I was past my goal and hit 131.

    Before that I lost 8 pounds in December 2010.

    So altogether to drop almost 70 pounds it took me about 9 months. Not really a long time if you think about it!
  • what was u average loss a week? gosh 9 months, i could be slim by my biryhday in september then.
