I thought I would post an update...

I am still fighting the good fight to get to goal... and this week my efforts have been rewarded by the scales. I have lost 4lbs this week at nearly 16mths out. The last time I lost 4lbs in one week was in Oct last year, when I was just 17wks out!!!

I know, this isn't gonna last... but I have to say, it has put a smile on my face and a spring in my step.

I really do think I am going to make my surgeon's goal at least! And I am sooooo close of getting out of the obese BMI range I can taste it!

I suppose what I am trying to say is that if you are losing at a snails pace... stick with it. Take each and every pound with pleasure.

Remember fellow slow losers... slow but sure wins the race!

Wow Coops that is great to hear. Congratulations on the loss!! I haven't had a 4 pound loss in even a month for a while, you now give me hope .

Thanks Newgirl... over the last 7mths I seem to lose 2-3lb a mth, so this was quite thrilling for me to wake up to this morning...lol... I realise that this weight will probably stay with me now for a couple of weeks, then, hopefully, I will drop another 2-3 lb. As long as it keeps coming off, I don't mind!

Oh and I forgot to mention that I am now UNDER 12 stone... the first time since 1996!!!

Congrats! I can just imagine your face as you gazed at the scale. I haven't seen a 4 lb. loss in a single week since probably the first month after surgery! Way to rock that sleeve more than one year out!

Hey Lynda...

Yep... my face was certainly a pciture!! I got on and off 4 times... even thought about changing the batteries...lol!

I rushed and told my hubby, who was well impressed too... he had been saying all week that I look smaller, but me being me just thought he was being polite! This just gives me the thirst to get to my surgeon's goal now. I really hope that I will hit it for christmas! What a pressie that would be...

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPS!!!!! You absolutely rock and roll girl!!! Under 12 stone??!!! I am doing a happy dance on my side of the pond for you, you know I am. You go you go!

I *saw* your ticker but did NOT realize it was -4lbs in one week.

YOU are a fricken rock star and I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy for you! :Banane08:

Now you do mind sprinkling some of your magic fairy dust my way...I'm going on almost 2 months with zero loss. Sigh. :violin:

Way to go Coops!
