slimmy120

Everyone , except for some of the guys are saying dont lose any more weight you are to thin, ladies in dress shops say i have a good figure -- so called female friends say need to put on 10 to 15lbs, doctor says no all is good now give or take the 4lb up or down fluctuation. Jealously that is what i say, i know i use to tell my good figured slim friends you need to put on weight ---- haha i am one of those slimmys now.:smile2:

Naughty me went and bought 2 dresses $59 each a slinky black one, and it came in red too so yep bought that too, and they say it came in green so yep. oops well i know i will look good in it ----- showed my friends on the way home they loved the black and red one, and it was size 8 ---- the ten was too big. wow got to stop, and they had belts on sale for $1 so -----havent worn a belt in years so -------5 belts. ohhhhhhhh:tt2:

I am enjoying all the nice unusual cut clothes and funky jeans,who needs trackpants- oh except for sporting.May even get my nails done in a nice deep colour, going to start loking and feeling like the lady that was hidden deep inside me before.

Yeah that one outfit a week is a good idea or maybe lingere, i am aiming on giving up smoking, so that money can be spent on clotes, and boots- yep now boots do up they never would befor, glad to know i am not the only one, love to hear the stories you guys have to share. heres to great shoppin ----- oh and i picked up the cutest little bag looks like a cow (black and white pattern) dont know where i can where it -- but could use it in my handbag as a makeup purse, need to buy makeup to look glam now too.

Well got referal for plastic sureon in september, so will keep you informed -----may need to take out a loan,but have come this far,so be it, want to feel good for myself.

HEATHERO i must say have been reading so many of your poss, and some inspiring ones to me, you have come such a long way in 6 months, i had my banding 18 seo 207 and am now down 96lbs since then, think with plastics the last few pnds will go.

How do implants rupture? if hit in the breast? does one boob suddenly deflate and is a different size? how long do implants normally last 15/20 years? how do you know they need replacing? is it the same expense again ?I am in Australia.

I am continually craving nuts, nut bars, and sesame see bars, am i lacking some vitamin??

I have gone down from 204lb to 118lb how much would be expected to be lost lb wise if i have tummy tuck, and excess skin from arms and legs, i have gone to seeing my rib cage and collar bones, i know everyone will be different, but please share your experiences, i am slightly pear shaped, but to bone on my hip bone now. And how much do the implants weigh, no idea what size will get but not to large am a 10d now but nothing on top of bra section.

will check that out,thanx

I am 5 ft 3 and still addicted to the cheese and nuts, but allowing those treats daily if i been good drinking my water and excercising. Read your post from your tummy tuck experience too, hopefully all going well for you now. Going to talk to doc re my tummy tuck next visit, he suggested the arms and legs two visits ago, he said i am doing so well, and he says with my attitude -- changed my lifestyle ,and eating to live, not living to eat anymore, and never wanting to be fat again, he said he suggests go ahead, but he said also suggests boob job but he does not do that - he says i need to give me some shape up there now. and wow girl you have done real well too.

You guys are doing really well it will be my one year aniversary of the band on 18sep , i got to watch the oerdoing it on nuts and cheeses, its the night time that gets me after a hectic day, but i have lost 84lbs, and have 14lbs to go, wow hoping to get there by aniversary, but havent been excercising lately as well, but as long as we eventually get there we are all heading in the right direction, and certain we are all starting to look sexy, if not sexier now, we going to make it, and we never going to get fat ever ever again --- oh except if one of you guys gets pregnant, then only momentarily. keep on going ----- down down down we go with the weight, what did you guys get to remember how far you have come?? i am going to buy a piece of jewllery,gosh doesnt time fly, especially when you start feeling good about yourself?

Thanx for your response will take that info to my doctors and see what they suggest, will keep all informed,got to get something done as starting to look like an elephant with my skin.

Has anyone heard of any finance companies specifically for medical purposes ----- getting rid of excess skin after weightloss ?Which one? how do you contact?Do they just use specific doctors? Also is anyone with the health fund hbf, did you get anything from the plastic surgery covered? which doctor did you see in western australia?

Wow yes you have done really well, and once you are under the 100kg mark,all the nice clothes, i too kept going for the larger, not realising hey wow lost sizes,what a feeling.

I noticed here in WA it is getting darker before I get home from work, thus not going for all the walks I use to go on. How is everyone going with the weight loss? Any one at goal? How long have you been banded? Any positive information, have you had any problems with the band. Lets use this thread for WA people, organise get togethers etc, let people know where the support groups in WA are etc.

Wow you have done well,wha was your starting weight, but am concerned re the saliva,definately ring your doctor to discuss that has never happened to me.

Great idea ,thats what i will aim ---- should say do from now on.

Ok people say i look good now, lots say could put on another 10lb, doctor and i agree could lose another 12 then would be at goal goal. So how do i stop myself from going backwards and having that one to many snack now and dont eat the more high calories and keep up with the excercise? Dont want to feel like hey i look good now can have that extra piece of cheese etc, seen it happen to so many people before.HELP!

Yep good idea, i have already swapped to portioned servings, even though more expensive, but like the other night went through a few portioned servings - ahh.

Jack I loved your comments, all very true and motivational, this is why i come to these boards to here the truth from the people who arein the same shoes or who have come further than me towards their goals.Thanx.

Why whenlosing weight do i crave peanut paste/peanut butter and eat it out of the jar?? it is the lower fat one but still. am i lacking something. like when i was craving dairy i took calcium tablets and that helped heaps??

Hey good to see it is not just me, and thinking about it, got a little left in my jar,will grab that as my bedtime snack.84 lbs down, 12 to go.

My port is above my waist on the left hand side,and was a bit noticeable but when really lost waist stuck up and moved, had to pay to have it resited so got stitched deaper, then is moved from the stitches, have had to have redone is deaper, but have lost more weight and sticks out like a little egg.
