Countdown to Balloon Launch

[RoseMcnose]

Off topic but had to share, two stone lost, have rewarded myself with flights to new York for Christmas. Must loose the remaining three stone so I can look fabulous!

My brother and his family saw me the week before my procedure, I can't wait to see the reaction if I am successful!

Having just lost my job, it was a bit of a mad thing to do but to hell with it, we will get by. I know it will mean the world to my brother, he has ms so does not get home often. My little girl will love it, as will we and my niece will be so excited. All in all, I think it was the right decision.

I'm shocked!

A few weeks ago my hairdresser handed me a bag of clothes to me after I said I will be frequenting second hand shops for clothes as I don't want to be spending a fortune on clothes when i will only be getting few months wear out of them... I'm a Scot ..every penny a prisoner ... Any hoo although a large lady she has a long way to go before she reaches my giddy heights but I accepted the clothes saying thanks they will certainly be used once I slim into them.
Now I was a 34/36 at the start of my journey and lately I have been raiding my wardrobe for 28/30's to wear ... Trousers are still a 30/32 geeze I hate my tree trunks!
Okay so today I remember the bag of clothes and having a few minutes to spare decide to go through them. OMFG... I can get into the tops 22/24's!!.. Trousers will be a few months but I cann get into all the tops!! Stretchy and not so stretchy ... I am over the moon & just had to share :happy036::bliss:

That means you are back to buying on the high street, its going to be a summer of fashion for you!!! Don't do what I have done in the the past and made some huge fashion disasters just because they fitted!!!! A baby pink very fitted trouser suit was one that comes to mind. Fabulous to have choice!!!

So chuffed for you femfrankie. You have worked so hard and have lost so much. Well done!!!!!!

Well done you that was very kind of ur hairdresser! Don't forget to pass yours on too!!! We all know its hard to find something to wear once ur bigger than a size 14!!!!
I'd say ur having great fun trying it on!
The best part of my weight loss journey has to be getting rid of the old clothes! From a size 24 down to a size 16 at the minute!!

I'm going on my holidays in 18 days!!!! Haven't packed my bag yet coz I can't decide if I will be much smaller yet lol
I am starting on the clean 9 weight loss system next Tuesday. It's a detox. I hope to cure my bad bowels after the three antibiotics I was on!!!! As well as loosing a few more pounds! Want to loose 8.2lb by the holiday. I have never been this positive this close to a goal!!!!!! I usually give up! But that's not happening!!!! I'm delighted.
Yous are a great part of my success!!! Femfrankie and RoseMcnose!!!!!! Thank you!!! xxx

Sitting at home doing a detox wrap at the minute I will get that 8.2lb off even if I have to cut it off lol I'm getting there! 1.3lb and I'm outa the 14s!!!!
I tell ye! I can't wait to see what it feels like to be in the 12s! It's been far too long since I was there!
I'm ten and a half years with my hubby and this is the lightest I've ever been with him
Happy days!!! And happier to arrive!!!

I can't figure out how to do that! On the phone
So I just have a bit in as a signature
I want to get somewhere near to 12 stone! Then I will re think it! But I would be delighted to get to a size 14 if I was near 12 stone!
I'm a size 16 at the minute and have been for the past year or so!!!!
I just think it will be fab to be in the 12s!!!!

:8855:at the pink trouser suit and yes i have made a few bad fashion choices too in my time. This afternoon I took my 85yr old mum in law to m&s as she was needing a few things and i couldnt help but look. I didnt buy anything though despite there being a sale on :sigh:. I have always had great difficulty in is spending money on myself lol but hubby berated me for not doing so but I assured him I had a great time just looking and going ohhh thats nice and yes that will fit me and feeling really good about it... I had a fantastic day xx

She is one in a million . Getting rid of some old clothes is my next task ... Going to have great fun with that one. Some real hardly worn stuff too. One outfit i ordered from USA for our daughters wedding that I didnt wear because I had lost weight and it just didnt sit right any more ah well lol.

You can do it hun I know you can Just make sure you have another goal to aim for at the other side of your holiday

After antibiotics i make sure I have plenty yakult and natural yogurt in to try and put the good bacteria in x

Got to admit I cant see any way of setting up the left panel or the sig via the WLS App. Dont know if I am missing something. I Access the site either on my IPad or the PC directly through the browser on WLSurgery.com and manage my profile via UserCP

12st is my personal target although surgeon feels i will probably not progress past 14 1/2 stone. No harm in trying though x

Glad you had a great day, well deserved. You should be so proud of how you have done. And treat yourself next time!!!! I struggled today. I have no energy, I don't feel sick but limbs just dead. Couldn't even work myself up to have a walk. Dog was very disappointed. Had some rice noodles with Bolognese this evening just in case is the low carb diet. Won't be doing that again,have you seen the calories in those things!!!!!

Anyway, I have broke through lasts years weight loss so that's another little win. Next is another three pounds off and I will be below 200 lbs. Easter is the deadline for that one.You
