I have read on a few other threads that people swear by the compression suits and the like for saggy skin, and if nothing else it does give you a smoother silhouette! I haven't bought any but intend to at least the the running pants when I loose some more weight and I will need something to hold it all down when I start running again.

Well

Done Kelliv on starting some exercise! Don't feel guilty at all...you know yourself best and if you felt that concentrating on the food side was more important than that was the right decision. I took my girls to the park today and turned play into a circuit training session! They loved it too. I had a trainer for 4 years until this April, so exercise techniques are easy to recall. We had a great time, just doing light exercises like squats, lunges, sumo lunges, push ups, step ups and they did star jumps while I ran lightly on the spot. Plus the 45 mins round trip to the park and I'm pretty happy with today's exercise sesh! Lol.

I've just posted 2 new pics of me that I took today. Can't give a link cos it keep getting an error message, so you'll just have to go via my album:

Wow Nessa - you are looking fantastic! You are looking so much younger when you compare your before photos. Well done. I really get a kick out of seeing everyone's tranformations!

Sue I would love to see an updated photo of us as your profile picture. I need to update mine too. Have a photo shoot of a property this week, so will ask my photographer to take a few new shots of me while we are there.

What a transformation!!!!! Well done!!!

Nessa and sue you both look stunning what a transformation! Really an inspiration.

My appointment to book surgery tomorrow! Still hoping new year so far.

It's been a while since I have been on, has been a busy few weeks, my sons birthday, my neices birthday. I am now on a weeks holidays, so hoping to relax a bit.

Wow everyone, your photos are great, such a transformation. Have any of you put them on through your phone or do I have to get on the computer to it. I would live to put up a before and after.

Good luck to to the ones who ate about to get the sleeve.

Lila so good to here from you, hope things are looking better for you.

I just wanted to share, I am 13 weeks post op and have reached 30kgs loss. I have lost 30.4kgs as of this morning. I have only 44 to go to reach my goal, almost half way there.

Aussie girl, that is awesome that you are enjoying your self so much traveling, and your loss is so good. I know my goal is achievable as you have done it.

I hope we can organise another catch up for all of us in Brisbane. Would still love to meet you all.

Hope everyone is well, welcome to the newbies, great work to the sleevers.

Bella - best of luck for today, thoughts are with you

Maybe we need to do a thread here with everyone surgery dates as will all our members now I can't keep up with surgery dates for you all :)

I had a great NSV yesterday - was looking for something to wear to my brothers for lunch and a swim and seen a netted top of my 12 yr old daughters (size M/L) to wear over my togs. I couldn't believe it when it fit perfectly...I was over the moon that I could fit into her clothes and showed hubby and he was blown away at it also :). She said 'mum don't tell anyone you can now wear my clothes haha'

Then had lunch with family and they were saying I'm now the smallest one of them all - THAT WAS GOLD

So I hope everyone is well and ready for the next week ahead xx

What a transformation!!!!! Well done!!!

Thankyou :)

Nessa and sue you both look stunning what a transformation! Really an inspiration.

Thankyou :)

Thanks ladies - what a thrill for you Shell!

I am getting the same surprises when I try clothes - unfortunately I don't have a daughter I can borrow clothes from! My 14 year old son just doesn't have anything that appeals!! It is getting a bit expensive having to replace all my clothes - including bras and knickers!
