Thanks to 5:2 and upping exercise, I am losing weight again (slowly). I initially started doing 5:2 because my weight had bounced back up to the low 160s, and I easily got back to my goal range of under 158, but had been stuck there awhile.

I can't believe it - I finally broke the 155# barrier and now weight 154 - several days in a row...haha. Anyway, my starting weight before the 2 week preop diet was 308 - so that is half!

My lifetime high weight (that was ever recorded anyway) was 332, but that was several years before my surgery so i don't count that.

Wow. Just wow.

As you know, I am getting ready for plastics and I would say 6 months ago I had a certain...loathing for that extra skin. this morning I was looking at it in the mirror thinking... not bad considering it used to hold the weight of TWO women not just one. I am excited about looking better, and getting rid of that low belly, but, not bad all in all.

This morning doing my Julian Michaels DVD (dusted her off the shelf) - I was reminded of one of my favorite quotes from her - paraphrased

"Transformation is not a future state, it is a current activity"

That is just so true.

fan-bloody-tastic!

Glad to see the 5:2 is suiting you too... it has gotten me out of my set point and I feel, at last, like my weight loss isn't over -

3 1/2 yrs out that is no mean feat!

Well done you...

Good job to all the hard work that you have done to accomplish this.

Wow! You sure are breaking barriers!! Awesome.

Amazing results...congrats!!

That is so amazing Jane! And really, count that 332 girl! Its one long journey, not just the sleeve. You can be very proud. I am certainly proud of you!

Congrats Jane!!
