I’m 56 years old, time to give up wanting to the body I had 25 years ago! 🤪 

Well said. You look amazing. 

I think I’m having the same feelings George I’m going to admit trying for a figure of a 25yr old at 50 might be something out of my reach without the help of a surgeons knife😂 

hellsbells69, I think I was just being to optimistic. Time to grow old disgracefully 🤪😈. I should count my blessings as there are many pare souls my age in a far worse state than me. At least I’m healthy and free of all meds. I don’t think I’d like to be 21 again anyway 😂 Take care bonnie lass x 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 

George I am 59 and have also given up wanting the body of a 25 year old. Turns out I am not his type can you believe it? Sorry just couldn't resist after an exhausting day.  

Ach he must be “ aff his heed” Chris 🤪 

Wow check you out and those guns 👌🏽👌🏽😘❤️ 

You look amazing 😘 

You’ve not been to specsavers yet Bubblechum, 😂🤓 

looking good George 👍 

That bicep shows dedication to health❣️💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 

Och! Ya sweet talker ! 

Cheers moo, I’m trying very trying 😂 Gilly, haggis, tatties n beeps! DROOL! I just want to snack in this hot weather. I’ve been buying sugar free ice lollies, bloody dug has developed a taste for them, when I eat one I have to hold one in the other hand for him to lick, dinnae worry, I’ve yet to get them mixed up half way through 😂 nae peace, he’s worse than a bairn! xx  

Thank you everyone for your comments and support. Without it I wouldn’t be where I am today ( lying in my bed at 4:30am wide awake unable to sleep 🤪🤨🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑 10, nope counting them isn’t working ☹️) 

Wow, amazing loss, how long did that take? And did you do keto or calorie counting along with your exercise?  

17st! wow, that's awesome. 👏 

Debbiesu I counted calories, kept my protein high, carbs low and fat very low. Don’t touch bread, although I have the occasional slice of low carb bread, don’t touch potatoes, rice, pasta etc. Also binned all alcohol, now that was hard! 😂 The only dairy products I have is skimmed milk. I walk my dog lots, do yoga ( to a fashion) I also do strength training, resistance training and pilates. Couldn’t run for toffee! I started at 30st, 1800 cals, then after a month 1600 cals, then after 2 months 1400 then 1200 then 1000. If you make the right choices it’s amazing what you can eat on 1000cals. My downfall used to be that if I had a bad day I’d just think f@ck it, blew it, then give up. Nowadays if I have a bad day I just draw a line under it and start afresh the next day. I wasn’t always morbidly obese, around 10 years ago I had a bad motorbike accident, then my marriage broke up and I wasn’t seeing enough of my laddie who was 7 at the time. I guess looking back I was just in self destruct mode. I hope this helps pal, if I can help you any other way please don’t hesitate to ask, George  

Debbiesu, sorry forgot to say it’s taking me around 2 1/2 years to lose 17st. It’s actually 17 1/2 now. No bariatric surgery, magic pills 💊 just a determined Scotsman, i used clothes more than the scales to judge my weight loss. x  

Thanks Mr G, total inspiration seeing and hearing your story, thanks for the extra info, that's what I'm following so here's hoping I have a good result like you👍 

You’ll do Debbiesu, you just gotta want it enough, don’t weigh yourself every other day. I used to weight once every 10 days to a fortnight, gives your body time to register the changes and you time to rectify any mistakes. Remember scales are only a number, it’s how you feel that matters, yes they are a handy tool but so is your clothing and a measuring tape. Don’t take me as an inspiration, I’m more off a warning to what can go wrong if you let your weight slide x
