Topic: RE: Stand Up And Finish What You Started
You are a very amazing DIY-er! I see you posted on the main board too. I think it's SO very important that we get to see all different successes and then realize how much we have in common.
It's not really about the surgery-it's about the work we all PUT INTO IT!! You are a perfect example of willingness and not giving up-even when it was hard and even when you are tired and in pain.
Inspirational. You know I always say it-but what else can I call you??!!
Congrats and many,many thanks!
Thanks Miss R
That was the reason for the post on the main board, I love OH.com, its helped me become the person I am BUT everyone assumes that people who have lost weight have had WLS, so its good to show those that cant get approved that there is stll hope for them.
seeing other peoples before and afters always helped me lose weight too
Thanks again, you are always too kind to me

Topic: RE: OMG I kinda enjoyed my stall!!!
Losing weight so fast all the time is like trying to hit a moving target - and this really really isn't a complaint, but I constantly don't know where my body is at. I go to the wardrobe with no idea if my clothes will look nice today or if they have gone over the line of too big. I buy new clothes, some of which don't fit nicely within a month (which for me can sometimes only mean a couple of wears). I avoid trying to squeeze into spaces only to find there is loads of room. People ask me how I'm doing and I sometimes get mixed up with what stone I'm in because its moved so fast.
I love love love my wls, but it was nice to take stock for a couple of weeks, but not half as nice as it is to be losing agian. I've lost 9lbs in 9 days (omg) and been shopping in Matalans, I bought an entire work/interview outfit for £16 - and I feel positively average in my size 20 skirt (big wow for me).
So deep breath, and bring on that down hill ride once more.
Well bloody done
Losing 20 stone has given me plenty of stalls, I can help but think they actually help now, as you can take stock of what your doing, make sure it right and even change it up ust to make sure you have variety, keep up the great work

I am not going to wish you luck!! You clearly have done this by your own hard work and luck had nothing to do with it! An amazing achievement. I am assuming you have had wls (not everyone on here has, a few are DIY people!) - which surgery was it?
KateThanks very much
No WLS here, DIY............! ALL THE WAY
