Broke the 200lb Barrier!
See how weird the head mess is we have embarked on?! I lose nothing for 7 weeks. Then I've lost 3lbs in 3 days. Weird weird weird.
I am not complaining mind you. I am now under 200lbs and my BMI is creeping close to overweight.
Right now it is 30.9.
I am 14 stone 1 today. I am daring to dream I might make the 13 stone zone!
Hope everyone is well x
Congratulations! How's the skin?
My arms are acceptable. Bingo but not the entire Gala hall.
Top of thighs are like the back end of a not yet put in the oven turkey. Wringled and like floppy skin.
Boobs have dropped excessively. Nipples point to floor and in a bra it's not to bad. Uncaged is woeful.
Belly apron is yuck. Can see it in clothes as it bulges. Like a panecotta splaying out. Drops about 4-5 inches over and is not a good look

Lol - I'm imagining you in my head right now. I've heard that it firms back up with more weight loss... Or so I'm choosing to believe. Knowing how it looks - do you regret surgery? I don't know how I will look slim because I've never been slim. Exciting times
I knew aged 48 with 3 decades of obesity I wasn't going to snap back. It's not attractive nude. Make no mistake. I wouldn't / couldn't wear a bikini. But I couldn't when a size 24.
I relaxed one set on insecurities with another ! Dressed I feel tonnes better.
I knew the body impact was going to be a mess. But my mum does aged 61 of obesity related issue. My Nan (maternal slde) died aged 60 of obesity related matters. I was galloping towards the same outcome
I am of all the big meds. I can walk much further and manage so much more. Yes I have lots of insecurities about my skin. But not many people encounter it. And I'd rather look like I do than be a size 24 and trapped in my own food created misery
It's not without its low points. But mainly I get by ok x
Youre so right. I appreciate your perspective. Losing weight should be more about better health and quality of life and most days it is. I hope I don't regret this. I enter most decisions in my life with the knowledge that I can always change my mind. There's no turning back with this once it's done. 7 days to go.
