Fangtasia, I wish you all the best as you go forward. I had a friend you had gastic bypass and his life was drastically changed for the better. I also have a lot of weight to lose. I was doing really great for awhile and then life and it's many ups and downs got in the way, and when your addiction is food that is what you turn to. At least I do. :rolleyes:

I just bought a really nice elliptical and some new weights for my new workout room in my house. I also belong to a weight loss group called TOPS (taking off pounds sensibly) and this Wednesday is my new start over date.

If anyone wants to start a support thread on here, I will be happy to join. :nod:

Congrats and good luck Fang.

I am on (since March) Visalus and have lost 15lbs. I do sell it as well so PM if you want to know more... I don't want Lil to be dragging me down the dungeon with her flogger!

And only 15lbs more to go so............... :nana:

I think you all are AWSOME!!

You've got our best hopes, Fangtasia! We're all cheering for you!

Soooo finally made it to my 1st mini goal.....now its onwards to the next mini goal

So glad for you. Making progress must feel so good.

Feels awesome hun! Very pleased to seeing the scales move again, had a major plateau stage...

An interesting side effect seems to be my period not turning up, it is now 9 days late. If i didnt know better i would be nervous lol

I am coping better at work too, a bonus there!

My OH has been going to weight-loss "classes" since last March and reached her goal weight last Monday, meaning she's lost 3 stone 4 pounds altogether - 46 pounds or a fraction under 21kg.

Her main activity has always been (horse!) riding, and being the lowest weight, well, ever really, means she can now manage a lot more in that regards, plus gym, swimming, walking the dogs even longer …. the list goes on.

It has other benefits as well ;) ; sadly those show up my overweightedness and lack of fitness!!

Well done Fang, and here's to the next mini-goal! :cheers:

DM

I've now passed my 1st mini goal and heading to the next. I've lost 2-3 clothes sizes (depends on what the clothes are) and feeling far better already.

I have my relapse moments, where my choices are not brilliant. I've worked out this happens when i am rushing or busy. But sometimes slowing down just isnt an option.

I am, at the moment, trying to de-busy some parts of my life. Some has been hard to let go i will admit, but something has to give.

I am sorta stuck in this middle spot. One hand is the familiar (job, hobbies, life in general), and the other hand is the big black unknown....i want to head for the unknown but the familiar is comfy and i'm a bit nervous of stepping off. Dunno if i am making sense but lol that is how a feel at the moment.

But all in all things are plodding along in the general direction i want to go

You've always got our support and very best wishes, that's for sure!

Fangtasia,

I'm sure you'll succeed! :thumb:

Fang,
I too am at a crossroads. I know how you feel about staying with what is familiar and comfy even if not what is best for you. I hope you and I both get to the other side unscathed. ((hugs))

Hey, it's far better if the second sentence stopped after the fourth word.

Thought i best update...slowly de-busying my life. It got a bit crazy lately, we moved house, well still are (boy was/is that fun,lol)

Still losing weight, suprisingly i must admit. Ive now lost 23.5kg (51.8lb), chuffed with that! My next mini goal is getting closer!!

But are your mini skirts getting shorter?
