Hi All

Well, after my moaning yesterday (and a little blip with a Thornton's chocolate penguin!) I weighed in this morning and have lost 2 pounds!

This means I hit my 4 stone loss 5 months to the day after starting my pre op diet! I am over the moon!!!! I've also been wearing an old pair of size 16 jeans! I'm mostly in 18's, but that still feels good too!

Still a long way to go, but feel great!

Thanks hun - you've done really well so far, too! You are already a couple of numbers down, which is a great start!

I lost 3 stone before I was banded (after having my baby) but I don't include that because some of it was baby! So I feel like a new woman - 7 stone lighter than this time last year (and I don't have to give birth next week either!)

Hi Bindi

How are you, hun? I've been exactly the same - but like you say at least we know that what goes now is gone forever!!

Won't be long before you hit that 3 stone and I bet you already feel amazing, don't you?

I'm alright thanks Cal. Its mad isnt it, I havent been bad and have been exercising, I hit the 3 stone mark then 1 went on and another has gone on this morning!!!! Drives me mad, this happens then it all goes at once and stays off!!

I do feel good but thought I would feel alot different I have only dropped 1 dress size (edging on 2 dresses sizes but depends what day it is!!!!!!)

I went to Matalan on Monday with my mum and oh my god the holiday clothes were gorgeous but I dont go away until Sept so no idea what size I will be then, that also drove me mad coz I wanted to buy. Hopefully around July time I will be able to judge what size I will be, summer clothes go out of the shops far too early dont they!!!

Aw well done Cal, i knew you'd do it!!!!! :clap: :clap: :clap:

4 Stone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its such an amazing amount isn't it, that's the most i have lost in any diet so am looking forward to getting there too, its the next stop on my route lol.

You really deserve it, i'd best get a move on though, i'm in a 16 now, you're catching me fast.......... feels good to be "semi normal size" dont it eh?!

Keep up the fantastic work

Keep it up Cal and again Well done!!!
