I have jump twice and it is one of the most amazing experiences. Jumped in Canada and South Africa and both times were spectacular. Its a good goal to have and definitely something I think you should do as soon as you hit your target weight to reward yourself for all your hard work.


I cannot believe some of the pictures in this thread, you have all worked so hard. Some of you might be a bit further along the journey than others, but at least your doing it. You should all be very proud of yourself!

What a great thread- there are some brilliant and inspirational stories and results on here, you should be very proud of yourselves! I look forward to being able to post my own before and after pics.

Peter, just wanted to wish you and your wife all the best and I hope all your efforts get you the result you most want- of the positive pregnancy test variety!

My weight has been all over the place most of my life. As a young teen I was 8 stone. By the age of 18 I was a 13 stone body building nutter, by 21 a 13 stone fat bloke, then a fit 11 stone, then a 13 stone fat bloke etc etc. I made a conscious decision about 6 years ago to keep fit and maintain a healthy weight. I still fluctuate but only by about 6lb either way. If I can find a before picture of my "bigger" days I will post it but I avoided the camera at that time.

I take my hat off to every one of you, well done indeed! Thanks for sharing your pictures, I know it was difficult for some to do that.

Truly inspirational and I think you should all feel very proud that your achievements WILL help others to do the same for themselves in the future.

Wow!

I think you all deserve a bit of recognition for your efforts, maybe on TV somewhere!

The difference though is I have had the time to train and its what I enjoy, you enjoy just going out for a run, I need a purpose i.e. training for my next race
