Nice work! 

Thank you!! 

Well done, huge congratulations! 

congratulation! well done  

congratulations  

Yeeeey, congratulations :))) 

Thanks so much!  

Omg, congratulations 👏👏👏 

oh wow that's amazing please give me your strength  

Sending strength your way. Every day I still battle with making the right choices but most days I get there! Just take it day by day.  

What an amazing loss. Truly inspiring. Can I ask how long it took you? I have a similar amount to lose and it currently feels like I’m in Avery long tunnel with no light in sight 😳😬 

Hi Fiona, I lost 30 kg in 8 months. Then I went into maintanance because I had hit my healthy BMI. Then I decided to go a little further and have some wiggle room. So I've been on the ketogenic diet since October last year and I am loving this way of eating. So if I lose a bit more great but I'll be upping my cals by 100 a week until I stop losing so I can find where my maintanance is. Its a slow but rewarding journey. In the grand sheme of things, what's 6 months. 8 months or a year in the gtand scheme of things when you can end up being healthy and happy for life. Its so worth it. Don't give up.

That’s awesome! Well done! 

Congrats. I lost about 18kgs in about 2 months, while also gaining significant muscle mass. Have reached a point I can gain or lose as much as I like pretty quickly, and eat more on average than I did when much heavier. Quite proud of myself, but I must concede, reaching a goal can make things trickier, especially when you know its easy to reach it again. Complacency can creep in. I suggest keeping up chasing goals/targets. 

Needle, thats a great spot to be in. Ive really enjoyed strength training and seeing the muscle definition sneek in is a great motivator to strive for more! My daughter enjoys working out with me so that's great. What diet did you follow to get off 18kg in 2 months?  

That is definetly a wow, well done 

aras78: I actually didn't follow a diet. All I did was keep calories to under 2500 a day and made sure my sugar intake was no more than 40g and fat no more than 30. I also walk/run for about an hour a day, do 20 minutes of ab training, and between 20 and 30 minutes of weight training a day (will have about 3 days rest a month). For someone in their mid 40's I found it surprisingly easy. Had sat on my ass for the last 20 years, but still found it super easy when some effort was applied. 

Congratulations! Well done! What an amazing journey you've been on  

well done, thats awesome
