I will definately post some pics of the wedding! I'm just hoping I get as much weight of as possible before the wedding. I am on a stall at the moment, haven't lost anything for nearly 2 weeks
. I'm hoping the scales will move soon!! I would like to get under 200lbs by the wedding, I'm currently 232lbs, I don't know if 32lbs in 16 weeks is achieveable, but am going to try my best!! It's so frustrating when the weight loss stalls!! I've decided to try mixing up my exercise, so I've been to a step aerobics class tonight! It was really tough, but I actually enjoyed it and will go again! I will also go swimming sometime in the week and at the weekend! I'm trying to walk everyday too, we have a dog, so she always needs walking!!
Anyway, I'm going to head off to bed, need to be bright and breezy in the morning- have to do PE with the little ones tomorrow- not always an easy task!!
Take care!

It looks like three of our little group will all be in Wales this weekend! LOL! What are the odds? Vicky lives there and my husband is doing a performance or two there-so off we go! He is a music teacher and also have a duo where he plays Uilleann pipes and many other instruments-and his partner plays harp! I can't wait to finally see them in action!
We are going to stay at a bed and breakfast place-and I am sure to get load of pictures to share. I am even going to get some video to upload on my You Tube of the boys in action.
Great to know you are thriving like never before. Gives me hope that I can MAYBE get half the energy you have!
Peace,

Sounds like you surely keep busy! I imagine it can be very rewarding working with the little ones-if not exhausting too! LOL!
You are getting married?! Congrats! How very exciting. There must be loads of stuff for you to be keeping busy with. I hope you post pics of the wedding!! I just know you are going to be a gorgeous bride.
It's amazing all those things we used to dream about are now the things we are actually living. The honeymoon sounds like it will be an absolute dream!!
I look forward to hearing more about the wedding and your plans!
Peace,

I would love to see folks join and get involved. I think WLS is still relatively new in the UK and it is sometimes hard to find support and info!!
Welcome again!

Welcome!!! So glad to see you made it! I don't live far from you!! I live near Blackburn. My father-in-law lives in Manchester and we get there quite often. Perhaps sometime we can get together for some coffee or tea.
I started out at nearly 400 lbs and am now at 150. YOU can totally get to your goal. If you are anything like I was you are probably SO looking forward to just getting on with the process.
Believe me, when I was at my highest I didn't escape notice. I lived in Northern California-near San Fransisco and people there can be VERY discriminating against weight! UGH! There were times where I didn't feel like leaving my place. It got very painful and difficult to get around and I was just so very tired.
I am REALLY looking forward to hearing of your progress and I would be more than happy to share whatever experiences I have and lend an ear as well.
Again-WELCOME!! I think you will meet some very nice folks here on this board and you have MUCH to add!
Peace,
T
Hello everyone,
I live in Manchester. I'm pre-op, waiting for a RNY surgery date with Mr. Basil Ammori. It feels like I've been waiting forever, but really the process started in December 2008, just before Christams. I am NHS funded and have done all my pre-op assessments apart from a psych evaluation, whose date is still a mystery. This is the hold-up. I'm hoping to have surgery in May '09. My last recorded weight on 19/03/09 was 420 lbs, so I have a fair amount to lose to reach my goal of 180 -190 for a height a shade under 6ft.
I came to OH after trying a few other boards. Like Katespost, my first instinct was to be discrete and hideaway amongst Americans but I love it here, enough to use my real name and post pictures of myself, though apart from the avatar, the pics are open to friends only. I've received nothing but warm welcomes and support. I'm equally now happy to 'reveal' myself to our small island because I figure, people seeing me on the street probably think I weigh a tonne anyway.
I am here for mutual support, encouragement, advice, information you name it. I hope others will get from me the same fantastic support I'm getting.
Take care,
Clara
I clicked the link you posted and got a page saying there is no such group! Didn't say what "such group". Just didn't lead anywhere.

That is WONDERFUL! I wanted to thank you again for all your help and support in getting this group up and running. What a wonderful service you provide.
