I'm done (before and after photo on pg. 5 - limited time only)

Awww, thanks everyone. I promise I will get round to doing photos. Unfortunately the only recent one someone took of me was with a bright sunshine to one side of me, which means my entire right hand side looks like a flash of white light ?

Massive congratulations ? I am enbarking on the ELMM campaign and shall use your story as an inspiration as I need to loose 6 stone.

Thats a fantastic acheivement. Well done to you. I can't wait to see pics.

Brief, limited once in a lifetime opportunity to see this. These photos will be removed soon:

Before (taken 30th November 2007):

After (taken 27th September 2008):

What a difference Baron, you look fantastic.

Well done. You look years younger too.

Wow!

But where is your white caterpillar?

Bloody nora! You now look like the son of the guy in the first photo. Well done and I hope you are very proud of yourself cos you should be!

Well done.An excellent acheivment.

Holy shite BGB - that is one amazing change. You look better in so many ways.

Wow, an amazing achievement, can't believe how different you look ?

I'm not normally on WL - but I had to stop in here and say that's a ruddy massive change there BGB. You should rightly be proud of that achievement. I had to show MrHalo (he is quite despondent about his weight at the moment) and it's given him a bit of hope about what he could achieve.

Well done. It's seriously impressive.

Wow!

Wow, You look amazing.

Even....er...a...bit....er......sexy.. ?

O.M.G!!! those pics are something else, you look SO much younger in the 2nd ones, well done baron they are before and after pics to be bloody proud of! you have worked so hard. wow!

Also i think you are a LOT younger than i thought you were ?

You're supposed to be green and ugly. ?

Seriously though, I am so impressed with what you have achieved. You look fantastic.

OMG! You look absolutely fantastic. You look like a completely different person. You truly are an inspiration baron. Thank you for sharing your photos.

What has Mrs greenback said? She must be thrilled.

What a massive difference Baron, you look so much younger.

Thank you for sharing your pictures you must be absolutely thrilled to bits!

What a transformation. You look years younger and as someone else said, the son or younger brother of the before picture. Wow, well done.

Wow that really is such a difference.

Bloody well done again, Baron. TT - I can confirm that he is pretty tasty in the flesh too ?

OMFG! I'm so glad I caught those (limited time) photos. You look amazing! I cannot belive what a difference it's made. You look completely different and I agree it makes you look years younger. Fan-bloody-tastic.?

So glad I got the chance to see the pics. You look absolutely fantastic. You're an inspiration to us all. I bet Mrs BGB is loving having a new husband. She's a lucky lady. I'm going to tell my brother about you he is in the process of losing weight-he's lost 2 stone so far.

Wow! you look amazing, and nothing like in my head either ?

Swit swoo do you want to come and be my personal trainer ?

Seriously you look amazing, bloody well done.

WOW!

What a difference. You look years younger.

Well done -what an inspiration

Brilliant Baron. Bloody brilliant. And not a sachet in sight! Losing 8 stone by no more than cutting portions and getting exercise is outstanding. Simple, effective, but oh so hard to do. Kudos to you ?

?

Sorrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyy ............... nine stone. NINE stone! Fark me! I hadn't read all the thread.

I know how you feel. On top of the world! Only difference is you'll keep yours off as you did it the right way. Now I'm fcuked as I can't lose at all.

How much on average did you lose per week? It seems like it dropped off you almost as fast as if you were doing a VLCD. I'm in awe of your motivation, perseverance and determination.

Can you bottle it and FedEx it over?!

<does quick sum in head> Just over 2.5lb per week if you take January 1st as the start date - the loss seems to have been pretty consistent. No single week where I've lost 6lb then gone to nothing for the next week.

I think what's helped my metabolism stay fairly high is the exercise and the strength training - I don't think I've lost too much muscle along the way, which can be a killer if you're on a low calorie diet (I think my daily intake on a weekday was probably around 1,800 and more on a weekend).

OH NO I think I've missed these!! Can I have a quick peek pleeease?

Until 1pm...
