    Well done girls! What an amazing effort you have made. I will be brave too and do mine....first pic is a good few years ago as I have been trying to slowly lose weight since having my son 2 years ago. Wedding preparations have given me a right kick up the backside and I have lost over 2 stone in about 9 months. Hopefully you can see the weight loss from these pics? The second is the most recent pic I can find of me, which was taken at christmas. I'm afraid I don't have any full body shots as I was far too ashamed to let people take pics of that! lol

    You girls are so great, just look at what you've all achieved *huge pat on the back to you all* such an inspiration and just what I need when I 'maintained' this week after being good and exercising every day Smiley smile

    May2be your little boy is such a cutie/so adorable ?

    I lost 5 stone on SW a few years back and hate to say at least 4 of those have gone back on, so angry with myself like you wouldn't believe ?

    I'll try and find some before and after shots although be nervous of posting them haha ?

    Well done ladies, you all look amazing and have worked really hard, what an inspirational bunch!

    I will share mine for a bit but might take them down later! I was always a skinny teenager but after uni I put on a lot of weight over the period of a few years. There aren't many pics of me from then but here is a very unflattering one that is from around 2006ish I think (on the right):

    Then I started eating smaller portions, and also had 3 jobs plus a voluntary job, which didn't give me too much time for eating, so I lost a bit of weight and looked like this by May 2007 (on the left - our friend Richard was teaching us some ridiculous dance here! But it's the best full-length pic I have):

    Then in Feb 2008 I decided that enough was enough and I started Slimming World. I lost 2st by July 2008 and kept the weight off - in September 2009 I looked like this:

    And I pretty much still look like this now. Since I reached my target weight 2 1/2 years ago I have put on a couple of pounds but nothing more than that until this Christmas, when flu followed by recovery and yummy food meant I was around half a stone heavier than I wanted to be at the beginning of this month. I'm shifting that at the moment so I can get into my wedding dress!

    I would recommend Slimming World to anyone, I am seriously not exaggerating when I say it changed my life. I am so much more confident now.

    Just found this thread and I love it! You girls look so amazing, I've not long had a baby and lost some weight but I've been sticking to the same weight for some time now. I so need a kick up the backside to lose the last 1/2 stone! Please tell me how you did it? I've read that SW has helped immensely x

    OK, I do have before and after, but they are a few years old. now, due to illness, I had to start from scratch as I put almost 3 st back on so I am exercising and dieting daily to lose it again. It's easier this time as I know I've done it once:

    Before (teaching David "Angel" Boreanaz to say his lines in Romanian for the TV show):


    and to get the full measure of it, here's the pic I keep on the fridge next to the slim one LOL:


    AND AFTER:

    Wow VikingPrincess you look gorgeous, you're cheekbones are to die for! I'm going one step further and have fixed braces (and yes I do look like Ugly Betty!) but will be worth it once they're off. Hoping to have them off a week or so before the wedding x

    Erm, you're not the first to tell me that! In fact in the second picture I am 5 years OLDER (I was 29 in the first 2 pics, and 34 in the second!) which goes to show mum was right when she said weight ages you especially in pics... The 2nd pic is how I looked when I met my OH. But then again, sorry for the shameless flash, it's the chip of the old block as they say...This is my 62 year old MUM:


    This thread really motivated me to keep at it - been exercising every day and even my sugar levels are better ( I am diabetic, on insulin).

    Wow ladies! You lot are amazing! Well done all of you.

    Afraid I've not got any pics but I've lost 2st 6lbs so far since a few months after having my second son (I say a few months after because I was pretty much bed bound for a few months so put more weight on ☹️). Still 8lbs to go until my pre-2nd pregnancy weight, and until I allow myself to book dress shopping appointments!, and 1st 8lbs until I get to my pre-1st pregnancy weight.

    Fab photos folks (particularly the one of david boryummyazz!!!)

    I gained weight prior to my wedding and hope to shed some again soon but ttc makes it nigh impossible to worry about my overweightness. I used to be skinny but i lost the weight via starvation and fags, not a good way!
