Well what can I say... I know I went quiet for a while well this is probably because I have been sorting my weight issues out... getting to 21.5stone was some achievement let me tell you, born out of too many calories and no exercise at all ever....
So here it is my admission of how I was.. the secret I kept for many years. I used to be so jealous of people meeting up from here but could never bring myself to go because I was too ashamed of what I had become.
It is interesting but the ad hoc comments about overweight people on here kinda hurt even though they were never directed at me and yes I know what some would say "do something about it", "just exercise", "eat less", and the funniest "you are lovely why change"..It is easy to say those things when you are a healthy weight.
Well I felt like a monster, no self esteem, no confidence, right at that precipice and then BANG I was walking down the street last April on the Isle of Man and walked past a woman I have known for a very very long time she said hello and then I recognised her as my younger sisters best friend... she had lost 8 stone in as many months. I asked her how she told me and at that point in time I knew if I was going to live past 50 I had to take action.
Last June 16th I started a programme which consisted of 500 calories per day and 4 litres of water.. I did this for 9 months leading a relatively normal existence.. ie if I had to go out for dinner with work I did however I didnt eat conventional food I kept to the programme.
Now I am 11 stone lighter, a different person both inside and out some would say for the better, some would say for the worst. I feel so much better for it and I have the knowledge that is is never too late to change something what may seem at a point in time as unchangeable.
There are a few in here who knew what I was doing and to those I thank you for all the help and support given. On top of my weightloss I found the confidence to finally qualify as an accountant and all being well I will be moving to Holland for the company I work for on a 3 year secondment.
Ive put some photos up so you can see the transformation as I have said it has been one hell of a journey and thank you to those who joined me on it

The top pic is after 100 days I had lost 5 stone at that point the bottom well the day before I started.
The one below at a ball I was at just under a month ago.
