Before and probably not long to go...

I don't have any before and after pics as such, but I recently came across a picture of myself from around a year ago wearing a red skirt. A skirt that I love but now hangs in my wardrobe as it got too big quite quickly. I decided to try the skirt on and see just how big it was now that I've lost almost 2 stone!

I am totally delighted. It's quite mad to think that not too long ago it did actually fit quite snuggly.

Thinking that I'm almost at my target weight, a mere 4 and half months after starting the 5:2, after struggling with various diets for so long amazes me. Not only the weight loss but the fact that I have lost a total of 37 inches from my body seems almost ludicrous. Anyway, onwards and upwards, only 4.4lbs to goal weight!

Wow well done :heart:
I know that feeling the baggy clothes that is I've given everything to
charity but still a long way to go for me, not complaining at all :heart:
Thanks for posting :clover: Sue :clover:
