Last year we asked readers to send in their before and after weight loss success pictures to encourage others they can do it too.

And after putting together an incredibly inspirational gallery, we have decided to do the same again this year with our Class of 2018 Super Slimmers.

Click the gallery above to see our super slimmers' pictures and then read below the stories behind how they did it in their own words.

There's still time to send in your pictures. Just click on the form below.

Lois Hart's story

Start weight: 15st 13lb (June 2015)
Current weight: 9st 1lb

I used the myfitnesspal app to calculate my calories whilst healthy eating, I had around 1,200-1,400 calories a day.

The lower amount if I didn't exercise and the higher amount if I did.

The only exercise I did was walking and cardio at home using the Wii fit.

I would walk around 5 miles up to three days a week.

I reached my target of 6st 7lb loss in April 2017 and carried on healthy eating but having around 1,600 calories a day and i have since lossed another 5lb so a 6st 12lb loss overall.

David Pennington's story

I started my weight loss journey nearly 5 years ago.

I was touching nearly 19 stone.

I was depressed, out of breath and health issues so I decided to do something about it .

My sister told me to join Slimming World and ever since then I have never looked back.

I am now 6.5 stone lighter than I was and I feel great. 

If I can do it you can do it
