Thank you ladies, yeah I cherish my before photos. I look at them and think to myself...was i really that groce? lol, my self image was clearly protecting my feelings haha.

OMG... I would kill for that figure... your waist makes me envious. I'm literally a plank. But you look amazing!! Keep going cause what you're doing is smokin'!

 

[slimpip]

Aww thanks Llora and Jenna, jeez I'm blushing!!! I do need to step it up though, it's no good having a nice ish waist if, when I turn around I have a big saggy belly. Hence the jogging and once TOM is gone, I'm going to do some swimming. I think I'll only swim once a week, to keep costs down and also, I don't want to get fatigued between runs if I can avoid it as I'd like that to be my primary future exercise, as it's free and you can do it anywhere, anytime.

Guy starts this 10week Mens Health fitness/diet programme a week tomorrow, so he is going on some practice runs this week in the mornings to just prepare his body a little. It's really hardcore what he's doing, so I'm going to use it as a 10 week, no cheat, hardcore WLS programme lol. We go on holiday in a little over 12 weeks so the timing is perfect. I'm not going to buy 1 single item of holiday clothing until this 10week thing is over, then we are going to go on a shopping trip (to Primark but still), it'll be the first time ever that all holiday clothes will be brand new what an exciting thought!!!!

So my 10 week plan is to up the exercise, I want to do my 3 runs a week, 1 swimming session and some toning exercises in the evening while I'm watching my soaps. Back to basics with the diet, as Guy will be on mega high protein, so I'll join him on that, be fastidious with my vitamins and biotin intake (as I forget sometimes) and just generally look after myself better. Quite pumped for it actually, been slacking of late so bring it on!!! X

Was up again at 6am this morning, starting week 2 of the C25K programme. Running for 90secs, walking for 2mins, for a total of 20mins. Actually found this easier than week 1, which is good. Enjoying it at the moment. And even ran in a public park, thank god Guy came with me because there were some undesirables in the park drinking cider at 6am...jeeeez. Still not lost anything this week...just gonna be one of those weeks I think x

 

[fento01]

You're doing so well, good for you! I can't imagine being able to run at all at the moment. Can't wait to have less weight to carry so I can get back to exercising. You're very inspiring...You go girl x

 

[slimpip]

Ooooh Fento....that's so kind. It's amazing to be called inspiring hehe. When do you think you might be up to exercising? X

 

[fento01]

Well if truth me known I should be moving myself now. However I'm having trouble with my knees and ankle (weight induced) so going to wait until I'm post op. Starting with walking and would love to go back to the early morning boot camp I used to do.

It's 2 weeks on Monday until I start my LSD and 5 weeks until 'the day' so excited. Reading the posts you and others share is soo inspiring. Wear the title well xx

 

[slimpip]

How exciting, it's so close now. Are you nervous at all? x

 

[fento01]

I've had days where I feel very nervous and start to wonder if I'm doing the right thing. But they seem to have dwindled now...I'm just so excited to start my new life. My weight affects everything I do at the moment. I feel so miserable and unattractive. I want to be the old me with more self confidence and energy! I have an 11 year old son, Jack who is my world and my motivation to get healthy!

Have you had any regrets? X

 

[slimpip]

Not a single one hun, and I don't think I ever will! I love my sleeve and the new lease of life it's given me xxx

 

[DippyDeb]

Just thought I'd share this photo with you. It's 4months (and 2 days) since my surgery. Sometimes I don't feel like I'm doing well enough, but then I look at this photo and think...fair play girl, you've got lot less booty. Haha. I'm not losing anything this week so far, with TOM visiting. But it's all ok, these photos have made me smile x

You look amazing .. Such a motivation to keep going x

 

[fento01]

Not a single one hun, and I don't think I ever will! I love my sleeve and the new lease of life it's given me xxx

Thanks Crystal and Deb...you ladies are seriously making me blush. It's weigh day today and I've lost 5lbs. EEEEEEK. Haven't lost that much in a week for ages. And to think that up until like Saturday I'd lost zilch. I have actively turned it around though, thought to myself, come on Pip....don't slack, don't lose motivation and obviously been running too. I am so happy. Roll on next Wednesday, If I can lose 3lbs, I will have lost 5st. Argh!!! X

 

[JennaMeri]

Woohoo!! And your awesomeness continues!! Bring on 5st!

 

[lauralee]
