Millymollymandy 427 Report post Posted August 17, 2016 Wow chellg! I can't even imagine what it must be like to be so close to goal weight. You must be so proud of yourself for having turned your life around in just 7 months.My weight this morning was exactly 116kg which is a loss of 1.2kg for the week. I dropped in to Myer this afternoon just to check how I was going against their clothes sizes. I am now a plus size 20 on both top and bottom and a size medium at My Size. I'm rapidly running out of sizes in my wardrobe even though I thought I had enough sizes to keep me going for quite a while. I feel as if I'm losing weight slowly but my wardrobe is telling me that the weight is coming off quickly. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

soul sister 463 Report post Posted August 17, 2016 I stayed the samethis week, 75.1, but im enjoying the lifestyle i can live with, so if i lose more that would be great, but if not, thats ok too. My life has improved so much and i will be forever grateful to my surgeon and this forum which gave me the courage to go ahead.Chellg, im so happy for you, you must feel like a different person.Millymollymandy, i too thought i had the wardrobe covered from years of hoarding all the sizes waiting till i "fit into them again". Well finally i do, but some of them i have completely bypassed due to the weather. The best part must be trying on old clothes and being too small for them. I walked up to a stranger in the supermarket and said " excuse me i dont mean to be rude, but i have a bag of clothes in my car that i think would fit you, would you like them". I think she was a bit sus, thought i was going to kidnap her or something, but she was happy when she knew i was legit.Wow, justme, i have never, and will never be 61kg, at my lightest, when i got married i was probably 68kgs, well done.Dondon, i think my scales are stuck, but at least they are stuck in the 70s now and not the 100s. I can tell just by the way i walk now that im so much lighter, everything is less of an effort now and i am soooo happy.Cheers 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladyfortythree AKA Julie 1,218 Report post Posted August 23, 2016 A bit early but just weighed myself and somehow Im down 2.7 kilos since my fill 6 days ago, admittedly I also have been putting in a lot of laps at the pool as well. so heres hoping I can at least keep up a kilo a week, trying to relose what I have regained over the last year 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Justme 185 Report post Posted August 23, 2016 Stayed the same this week, 61.5 kg. This is the second time since I had my sleeve that I stayed the same weight. My GP cracked me up when she saw me on Friday. She said " So you didn't go ahead with the gastric sleeve and then started laughing...... She was amazed on how well I looked. I do have loose skin, I wouldn't mind getting rid of. On the top of my legs and stomach. I will ring Bupa over the next week to see if I can get something done through them... Cheers everyone. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Millymollymandy 427 Report post Posted August 24, 2016 Had my weigh in with the dietician this morning. Weighed in at 115.1 kg which is a loss of 900g for the last week. Wasn't happy because her scales were 200gm heavier than my scales at home which means that I can't quite tick off being under 115kg as yet.Justme, you must have been so happy with your GP's reaction to your weight loss. Congratulations. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Millymollymandy 427 Report post Posted August 30, 2016 I've had a great week. My weight this morning is 113.4kg which is a loss this week of 1.7kg. I'm heading off this morning for my 3 month post op check up with my surgeon. Can't wait to get on his scales - and that's definitely something I wouldn't have looked forward to before WLS! I've still got 30+kg to lose but I'm feeling so much better about myself as each week and each kilogram passes.Looking forward to hearing how everyone else has gone this week.And... Happy Birthday chellg. I hope you have a wonderful day. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Justme 185 Report post Posted September 6, 2016 Good Morning, You are doing so well MillyMollyMandy. Good for you. I`m down to 61kg, that's a 300 g loss. I want to stay between 60kg to 62 kg, so that is good. I don't want to get under that, as I will start to look terrible. Soulsister you are doing so well , you must feel so much better now. Cheers 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gapgirl 41 Report post Posted September 7, 2016 Well I've been MIA for a while but screwed up my courage to step on the scales this morning and pleasantly surprised to find I've actually dropped a kilo over the past few months (actually just thrilled to find I haven't gained). 114.9kg today. Time to ditch the chocolate and the sliders (and the sugary sliders which are my downfall) and get back with the program. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gapgirl 41 Report post Posted September 13, 2016 Down 200g to 114.7kg. Bit disappointed as I've been walking every day this week and swapping out cappuccino for herbal tea and ditched the colas. Oh well a lost is a loss is a loss. Millymollymandy, glad to have someone to keep me company too Congratulations on 400g loss! Meanwhile this bandit needs to watch my portion size, I think, and wine. I can eat a lot more after a glass of wine, leaving aside the calories in the wine itself. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Justme 185 Report post Posted September 13, 2016 Good Morning everyone, Up 100g this week from 61kg to 61.1kg. Its all good, trying to stay between 60 to 62kg. I have roughly been this weight for a few weeks now, but my new clothes are getting too big. I have not lost a lot of weight lately, but my body shape must be changing. How weird ..... I use to have a bum that would come in the door, an hour later after the rest of my body came in and now I have no bum at all......Lol.... or thighs... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
