Attention ! Australian Sleevers

[*Dean* 1,594]

I live near parramatta' date=' western suburbs are equally devoid of eligible men. Especially those that are ready for an instant family. I think I'll move to qld and marry one of Dean's cop mates.

Speaking of men, my ex, whom I haven't seen or heard of in a year, messaged me last week wanting to meet up. A friend of mine saw him and told I'm how smoking hot I am now and that he ought to feel like the biggest idiot for letting me go and not fighting to keep me. If he couldn't keep me when I was fat and insecure, he's got a snowflake's chance in hell if he thinks he can have me back now.[/quote']

It'd be worth meeting u to brush him off!!

I grew up in merrylands, Australia's drive by shooting capital, but moved to Darlinghurst when I was 17. Dad still lives there

I was a reluctant mover to Brisbane. I was a die hard Sydney lad. But really haven't looked back since moving up.

Oh ooh I'm not adverse to going out with cops and I'm on the gold coast....send them my way Deano! Lol. :-)

Lol - be careful if your ever selecting your own. There are lots of over the top alpha losers!

I missed my goal by 4kgs. Wanted to be 80kgs by Christmas' date=' but happy with where I am now. Coming off slowly by surely. Now buying mediums and size 14 tops and 16 bottoms, so pretty happy. We are at Brisbane Airport about to fly to Townsville to have Christmas with my husband's family in Ingham. Back in Brisbane on Boxing Day. Would love to arrange a social get together for those of us in or around Brisbane maybe early January. Anyone around then?[/quote']

I'll be back at work but will be about. How many of us are in bris-vegas?

Oh and I reached my Christmas Goal weight of 125kg!! Merry Christmas to me lol <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Wow Lila - you are transforming before our eyes! Your inner beauty is really shinning through! Well done!

Is any of the Sydney crowd keen to meet up for a coffee in the New Year? I am in the North West but am happy to visit the city or Parra!

I'd love to meet up. Depending on how I go over Christmas, we could go to the Lindt cafe, or sumo salad. Lol.

Awww thanks you guy's for the kind responses!

[*Shell* 162]

Lila, you look fabulous - I'm so proud of you and your positivity got you through the tough times that are behind you now...great times ahead

Kelli - definitely time to catch up again, it's been a while. Have a great time away and looking forward to catch up in the new year

Wow, you guys are kicking ass in the weight loss stakes. I'm so inspired..

I've ticked the first thing off my list, and my specialist is working on my referral letter as I type. So once I receive that I can make my appointment with the surgeon and start on my new journey. New year, new me..

Count me in

Lol, and we can fight over who gets the doggy bag.

Loving the festive food ATM, had about 1/4 cup turkey breast for dinner with 2 slices of cucumber, 1/8 of a Tomato and 1 piece of potato from a potato salad. I certainly don't feel deprived, I feel content and happy. Even when I've had ice cream on special occasions, I don't feel guilty because I only have a mouthful, and that's enough. I'd much rather have a cup of tea. I haven't even opened a single window on my advent calendar since the 7th!!!!

Sumo salad would be easier to split between 6 people, could you imagine the looks if we asked the waiter at the Lindt cafe for just one Lindor ball because we'll share it. Lol.

I'm away from the 4th January, otherwise I'd be there with bells on!

[puppyphat 397]

I know I said I wasn't going to weigh myself again until the new year, but.... I had to share this. My bmi is now closer to "underweight" than it is to "overweight". Still officially have 2.9kg to go, but I think I'm done.

[Kayargh 112]

Wow congratulations!! how does it feel to almost be 'done'? I would imagine it would be overwhelming, scary, joyous all in one. Closing another stage in your life and opening the next, maintenance and living life without the pressure of having to 'loose weight' Very excited for you love xxx
