| Hi All, I have finally got organised and decided to post some before, during and after photos. I'm 41 years old and 164cm tall/short. I had been overweight, obese, morbidly obese all of my life. I loved take away food, chips, ice cream, coke, biscuits, chocolate, ...................... My starting weight was 151.1kg on 16/9/06 (size 26-28). I'm sure I was larger at times but my home scales only went up to 150kg so I don't know what my biggest weight was?? My original goal weight was 90kg as I didn't think I could do much better, but I achieved that July 2007. I quickly changed my goal weight to 75kg once I found how easy it was to stick to the TF program!! I reached 74kg and went on to maintenance mid Nov 2007 and haven't looked back! I did lose another 7kg along the way on maintenance and having skin reduction surgery. I still have a few surgeries to go to fix all the lose skin, but I'm so happy being a size 10-12 and feeling much healthier and confident. I even scored a fantastic job a few months ago, where I'm now working with the man himself and travelling around with Tony for Meet & Greets. It's been a few crazy months where I have broken smashed through my old comfort zones. I have done several media interviews, including newspaper, TV and radio. For someone who previously avoided being photographed as much as possible, this new life is still surprising me and has really got me excited about whatever the future may hold for me. I am so pleased that two years ago I decided to dedicate a year or so to lose weight, I never expected such a great result and extreme change of lifestyle. All I can tell people is just try to dedicate/commit a period of time to lose your weight, stick to the program as much as possible. Then once you have reached your goal weight, through the education of this program, you will enjoy reintroducing some good bread, pasta, dairy, etc in the maintenance program - it is SO, SO worth it!!! The first two photos are obviously my before photos - I have no idea what weight I was then, possibly bigger than the 151kgs???? The third photo is a during picture, it was me at my original goal weight of 90kg. I even became brave enough to attend a Meet & Greet and talk to Tony. You might notice my watch is slipping down my arm. The last two photos (67kg) are my after pictures, I mean after a professional make-over. No, I don't look that good every day, I wish I did!!!! Anyway, I hope my story and photos can provide some inspiration and motivation. I know this forum helped me so much in my journey - thanks everyone!!!

| OMG ROB ! Thank you so much for posting these photos and your story. I have a whole person to lose and sometimes it seems impossible. It just shows what you can do if you put your mind to it. I can lose weight and i will!!    You look beautiful ! And thank you for mentioning the loose skin, i will definitely need that type of surgery when i am done. It is comforting to hear i am not the only one.

| Thankyou for posting your before, during & after shots. Your story is an inspiration, particularly to those of us who have to lose at least a whole person to get to goal. You show that it can be done & that it can be maintained.... I'll talk to you about surgery when I get a bit closer if that is OK. Congratulations, you look great!!! Vic

| WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW! YOU LOOK AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your old jeans look like a tent on you now! Well done and thank you so much for posting your story and your photos! I have set my goal at 70kg and are around the same height as you (well lack of, haha) and I didn't even think it would be possible for me to get to that weight, yet you have gone below that! It's made me rethink that I can do that too! Thank you so much again! And a HUGE congratulations!
Bevy.
