This time last year i was very overweight, but sort of in denial about the damage having a bad diet and carrying excess weight was doing to my health. In October, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I have since lost 3stone in weight and feel so much fitter and have heaps more energy.
These pics were taken a year to the week apart. What a difference!!

@HootyTheNightOwl at my age its gonna happen anyway!! Lol. After 2 c-sections, my tum has never been tight so yes...i have loose skin there. Also my boobs have lost a bit off their volume....first time ever loising weight has shown on my bust! But, my arms and legs were never very big so no noticable loose skin there. All the saggy bits are covered by decent undies!
@RubySoo It gets me how doctors hound us so much to lose weight... I've always been big so I've had it all my life - but if we do get down to the "BMI approved weight", then we can't get skin removal surgery on the NHS because it's considered to be cosmetic.
For real??? I'm hounded every time I come to see you, yet, if I did lose this weight and develop sagging skin afterwards, I have to live with that instead of being fat. That's part of the reason why I typically tell them that I'm not interested in losing weight.
My weight tends to fluctuate by a stone, too - so if I did get down to 8st, I would be underweight in the summer months and they would be on me to gain weight, then lose it again in the winter. So I wouldn't win either way.
