I have a cruise booked for August so am aiming to get to goal by July just in time for cruise. As I am eloping n the cruise and want to look hot in my wedding dress.

Unfortunately I have never been the one to flaunt.... So bikini days will never happen....well nenever say never maybe I might learn to love my body again!

Jasmin,
Everyone is diff. Do not go judging ur self based on my results. I have been strict in what I eat and ensure I do at least 2hrs exercise daily having one day off here and there.(except this week I have eaten everything fallen off the wagon and been stressed...but tomorro is my monday and back to my strict routine.)
Also everyones body is diff mine wanted to get rid of the kilos and I have always been able to loose this weight in the past just never maintained it so the band to me was about assisting me in maintains my goal.
Don't be too hard on urself, it will happen when ur ready.... Just take a look and make sure ur not trying to sabotage ur own happiness by keeping ur weight as I know in the past I have been guilty of this.....good luck

I could have written this myself, as it is exactly how I feel. Well done, you look awesome Tamara, and I am sure you will enjoy your next trip just that bit more as I did.

Banded the same day, Happy with my results so far too. Bit old & ugly for pictures tho! LOL. Maybe at the end of my journey? It takes alot to get me behind the lens! Great positive fighting attitude Tamara, you go after those 18kg NO MERCY!
