Congrats for doing it all! It wasn't easy I'm sure.

Don't stress about your weight. The weight might come off a lot so easily the next coming months.

You did so many positive changes to your life and health and that is great. Stay stress free and enjoy the journey! :-)

Well, as my Quest to find Irn Bru lollies in Cheshire & Greater Manchester has failed, I've finally cracked. I've bought several million little bottles (250ml) of diet Irn Bru. I open one before bed, let it go flat overnight then drink it throughout the morning. I only allow myself 1 bottle per day but boy do I enjoy it.

I thinks that's pretty sensible Rosie- we've got to allow ourselves a little treat!

I keep a little stash of biscuits in for those really desperate moments (or where I am so below my calorie intake for the day!)

How's the weight loss going? I'm finding mine has slowed a little bit, but not too much. I reached my halfway point this week, which is a bit confusing because I feel no different!

Weightloss picked up last month but still not as much as I expected but I'm doing ok.

You've lost half the weight you aim to? That's good, I've only lost 45lbs in total. I don't feel any different but I can certainly see a difference in my clothes.

I'm at 55lbs down, which is about halfway to my first goal. It will leave me at about 4lbs to go to a "healthy" BMI.

I'm exactly the same. I got my first "you're looking slim" from someone I hadn't told this week, which made me think that there must be some difference!

Well done. It does make a difference when people start to notice.

I'm trying to up my walking but it's catch 22 at the moment. I prefer walking when the weather is nice but I've just bought a new convertible car so I also like driving around with the roof down. The car's winning right now, had a lovely blast down the Tatton Mile before with the wind in my hair.

My mid-life crisis has officially begun :) Think Patsy in Ab Fab then some.....

I'm with you on the Patsy and Ab Fab track!!!! I've got a black Fiat Abarth convertible and I LOVE IT. My mid-life crisis has not just begun, it is well under way and boy, is it ever fun. Gone is any semblance of being a mature woman and girl power is the only gear that I engage now!!!!!!!!!

I've bought an MX5 Roadster SE in Storm Blue with black leather trim. Girls behaving badly is my anthem.

How about getting yourself some ice lollie mounds and making some Iron bru lollies.

Never thought of that. I'll toddle off tomorrow and buy some moulds. Thanks.

Doing ok with Protein now. I took your advice and rejigged my diet alongside adding in a daily Protein Bar either as a mid morning snack or replacement lunch.

Thanks, your help is much appreciated.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
