Congrats man.

 

[Dunks]

You look like a different person

 

[Broken Hope]

I wouldn't have even known it was the same person if I had seen the pictures separately.

 

[fiveub]

Is that really you 5UB?

Why?

 

[vincent1989]

You need to smile!

i smile a lot more now than i use to .

thanks to everyone else, the weird thing is I still don't feel slim (44" down to a 32" waist!) but when people who I've not seen for a long time realise it's me it's a massively awesome feeling.

That's some inspirational stuff right their and it's give me a kick up the backside.

What did you do to lose the weight? Obviously lowering your caloric intake and proper exercise is key, but were you at the gym every day?

Cheers

Can I be rude and ask how much you were at your heaviest, vincent?

No problem.

I limited what I ate to 3 meals a day (and portion control), cut right down on the takeaways (maybe one a month instead of 2-3 a week), taking a packed lunch instead of my debit card and buying lunch whilst at work and I took up walking to work (3.5 miles a day). having a new, active job helped massively.
Obviously everything was in moderation, I lost a reasonable amount of weight over a long period of time, I didn't starve, but I did learn all about hunger .

I think the most important thing I did was not to punish myself, I wanted to do it and I wanted to succeed, sometimes you feel like giving in, when that happened I would have a smaller 'treat', a standard packet of crisps instead of a share sized bag or a chocolate bar instead of a bar of chocolate (absolutely never bought a multipack of anything unhealthy, an open pack is an empty one!), it's much easier to get back on the wagon when you aren't imagining you've wrecked all of your previous work.

Can I be rude and ask how much you were at your heaviest, vincent?

absolutely, I was about 260lbs.
