Well done!! I can only dream of getting that low! I'm hoping to get to about 150lbs or 68-70kgs and be a size 12. Keep going, you are giving me motivation!

Hi Nia, I'm down 41lbs or 19 kg. still not exercising, so I can't complain lol! I feel good except for being tired but I'm down to size 16s and even some 14 dresses. Got the school camp in a few weeks, hope my energy keeps up for the kids lol, probably drop weight then too as we won't be stopping much! I'm thinking of it like boot camp for me! See you added me as a friend, cool. I'm still getting my head around how to use this site. Congrats on your success so far! You go girl! Can't wait till I'm in onederland with ya. Kaz

I hear ya! But I like not feeling like I'm on a diet...still, it would be nice if chocolate wasn't so easy to eat! I'm 17.5kg down after 17weeks but I'm not exercising... Have to start.

Great job! Look at that muscle tone! You have worked very hard and it show. Very inspirational.

I hear you! I'm 11weeks and I've lost 34lb. I'm eating chocolate so I know it is my fault. I'm going to up protein again and I've slackened off water. Your story is so similar to mine. Slower loss advantage is less excess skin I guess :/

I'm 11 weeks and 34 pounds down. I've had two frustrating stalls and gone up a few pounds then dropped them. I don't really exercise yet but I do increase protein and water as well as some calories when I stall which helps. I try and vary my calories a little so my body is not thinking it is always starving. It is slow progress but then I'm down in clothes and feeling great! Our journeys will all differ, don't panic or lose hope, just keep chugging along.

Hey there Kaz, I was actually thinking bout you today and wondering how you were doing. Ahhh mazing by the way!- .5 is still .5 take that and add it to the rest it will all add up in due course. I've learnt early on to remember not every time i overate or ate wrong foods did I see immediate weight gain but sometimes I did and sometimes it came on slowly but eventually it did of course - therefore on the flip side, I expect I should see some immediate losses, some slow ones and some stalls.... Just coming out of a stall and slow loss these last three weeks. Keep going strong - and remember all the good advice and support you give to everyone else :-) Thanks, I needed that. Yes, slipped off the bandwagon into a chocolate lake again. Not the answer! Have to keep reminding myself of the money and pain I've put myself through for this; I'm determined again! X Hi Kazyy! I think we are both walking the same path but we will not be defeated! I know stalls are frustrating but we have to push forward. One of my tools is to only weigh myself once a month or I just wait until I go to the doctor. I took someone else's strategy about getting more Protein in. I also let my clothes tell me if I am losing. I bought a dress on 4/25 that was too small for me (it was bulging on all sides, lol). Yesterday was my second time wearing it and it is now too big. I didn't realize how big it was until I saw myself in a photo my friend took. So although the numbers on the scale aren't necessarily going down, my body is obviously getting smaller. So.....take it slow, keep eating healthy, exercising and getting in your Water and protein and you will do just fine.Thanks Miss B! I put a dress on today and was tripping over it with less boobs and bum to keep it up lol. You're right, I'm clearing out clothes already. Lost a couple of pounds, probably just the stress of doing school reports haha. Thanks for the encouragement! We will succeed!

You poor thing. Hope you're better soon! :/

Aghhh! Stupid stalls! I'm stuck again only an extra 0.5kg lost Frustrating. Trying not to revert back to bad habits.

Hi! My surgery is the same day in Perth! Congrats on your progress so far , that's excellent! Well done! That is an effort! I'm in gracemere. Had my surgery on April 8. Down 14kgs. Slowly but surely. Good luck!

Here are my ugly, raised red scars after 7 weeks lol!

Mine are keloid scars at 7 weeks. They get itchy and sometimes sting but it's the way my skin goes after any op. I'd be a bit concerned about yours though, there is a lot of redness beyond the scar line which usually means an infection. Try an anti bacterial cream or hydrogen peroxide for a few days. Go see a doctor if still red, that'd be my advice. Hope they get better soon. Has anyone out there got keloid scarring skin too? Sux!

Hi! I ate stews etc but I puréed them in a blender so no lumps. Basically, if you have to chew you need more blending! Just think baby food consistency, then toddler food consistency for the next stage...and chew!! I also bought meals and blended them, just make sure they are the high protein, low fat and carb options.Use my fitness pal app. It is great for keeping track of your goals. I've found that burping and high chest tightness is my sign for being full too, if that helps Good luck and go easy to start with.

Keep going miss brown, you're doing great! As we get more calories, it gets easier to exercise. I know the frustration there, I slept so much this weekend! I've cracked the 30lbs loss today though, so feeling good. Down 13.5kg now. Next goal is move out of the 90kg range... And into 16s and some 14s...
