My latest NSV is that I can now wear size 14 skirts and jeans. I haven't worn this size since I was 14 :D I went shopping the day before yesterday and found myself in a weird position. My usual...

I'm like you, I look everyday just to see what happens. It doesn't bother me if i go up a little as I know I will then go down. Actually I'm keeping a log of the changes just to keep track. I'm 4...

You look so good. Congratulations and keep it up.

Good on you. Welcome to a great place. The people here have been fantastic.

I'm in exactly the same position. 3 weeks and no loss for a week. My brain tells me that its normal, but my heart is not coping. It feels demoralising, I can only eat very little and most of the time...

You are so not wrong with being upset. Your hubby had no right to do this in front of others. It sounds to me like a control issue. He is scared that you will change inside as well as the outside...

Congrats. I'm so happy for you.

Congratulations, I'm sure you won't regret anything. The bounciness goes on and on. I'm having mine done in Bahrain, but I keep on trying to persuade my brother (lives in Kidwelly - Wales) to get...

On this site fat rules. A lot of us are on the "chubby side" to put it politely. That is why we are here.

I wish you all the best. A friend of mine has had the band and has lost 80kg with it, but it has taken over 4 years. She in now thinking about doing the same as you. Keep us posted.

Congratulations, that's wonderful. I'm so please you've done what you set out to do.

Hi There,

I don't really think there is an easy way, what i think you need to think about is the end result. Keep it up.

Hi Robyn,

I know what you feel. I haven't had my sleeve done yet, but this site has been a godsend for me too.

Hi Amanda,

I totally understand the shakes thing. I tried them and lost weight cos I kept on vomiting. I HATE MILK :D What I have found that work, and this might sound weird, is egg whey...

Hi Valerie, me again, sorry I hadn't scrolled down. I was gobsmacked :D

Hi Valerie, can you travel through time? :D it's only 7.17.2011 today.

I only drink herbal teas and love iced tea. Also I live in a very hot country - Bahrain, and chugging water is almost a pastime here.

Thank you for writing this. I was howling the whole time. You put into words exactly how I feel especially about smiling all the time. I have even forwarded this to a friend of mine. We...

Hi Spencer,

Welcome and congrats on making the decision. I've always been a big lady too, but that has never really stopped me either. I was very overweight in school, but I used to play hockey...

Congratulations Georgina. Welcome to the site and please keep us updated. What you've done is fantastic so far.

Welcome. No one likes to fail and I'm positive you won't. Just keep at it and you'll be fine.

Welcome. This site is fantastic. SO many people have helped just by their supportive comments.

Hi Megan, This place is great. There are so many people here to share with and get info from.

Hi, there seem to be a number of people who feel the same way here. From what I have read I'd say go for it.

Good luck with everything. Mine is supposed to be the first week of August, but when exactly I won't find out until the end of this month.
