Just back from getting weighed and, after no weight loss since the second week in July, have dropped another 6lbs. Woohoo..... am doing the happy dance round the room!!!! 49lbs off (plus 16 lbs I lost in the weeks to pre-op making a total of 65lbs), 18 to go. Am soooo excited... and I just bought a pair of jeans in an US8 / UK12.

Need to calm down now as I am off to a meditation session involving Tibetan singing bowls. Need a few more laps of the room before I go or I will be vibrating more than the bowls.... :-)))))))

This post made me smile and share in your happiness. So glad for you!

Glad I made you smile - and thanks for all the likes :-)

At the start of this year, I was 223lbs but got to surgery at the end of April weighing 207. I was told surgery would help me lose 3st 10lbs and the rest would be up to me. I am now only 3lbs off that first target but in the real world I have 18 lbs to go - who would have thought it after 22 years of being fat... 83lbs seemed impossible.

To complicate things, am having a breast reduction and the surgeon wants me to leave him with 7lbs to work with as he thinks that's what I will lose with the reduction. So, all things taken into account, I have about 11 lbs to go...

The singing bowls worked their magic and have calmed me - but in my head, the happy dance carries on. Hope everyone else moves on towards their goals too :-)))
