Weightloss Update If You Are Interested!

[Islay]

Well I had my official weigh in today and I am now 10 stone gone in 6 months!
So very happy, it has made a huge difference to my life and relationships. Funny though how some people don't want me to lose weight!
Well here's to the next stone off!

[albaqwerty]

that is some going girl!! I hope you feel rightly proud of yourself xxx

2 years is the critical point........before then, one has the euphoria and excitement of rapid weight loss, but it doesn't last. It can't.
The milestone is 2 years and after that time, "bad habits" may return....however Islay has a strong personality and for her the prognosis is good.....in my opinion.

[Islay]

Must admit I do have one worry is what if it doesn't stop? I mean if I can't stop losing weight?
It is rare but it can happen!
I would be like a lollipop head!

[Butterbun]

Well done Islay, it can't have been easy. Good luck on shedding the rest to be what you want to be. As pixie said, most people go back to their usual habits but they really need to change their mindset.

Wow! That's like no longer carrying a spare person about with you everywhere you go.

Good luck with the next phase.

[Smowball]

OMG! 10 stone?? That's incredible. You must be so pleased x

[Kathyan]

I don't want to hijack your thread Islay (well done btw!) I've lost 4 stones in just over 2 years but it's down to illness not dieting. It's not the way I would have wanted to lose it but I'll take it anyway! I find that some people don't like it when you lose weight as well. I think i's mostly down to jealousy though!

[albaqwerty]

sorry to hear about illness Kathy. Do hope you are on the mend tho.

I think you're right tho, it's jealousy.

[Islay]

Kathyan, sorry you have not been well, hope your health improves soon.
Yes its sad that some people don't like it if your fat and then don't like it if you do something about it!!!

[Tilly2]

Very well done, Islay. Dare I ask what you are going to do with the saggy skin when you reach your target? It must be a downside to losing so much weight, I guess.

[Patsy33]

Well done Islay. So pleased for you.

[Islay]

Oh Tilly we are currently saving up for a complete overhaul!!
Boobs, belly, butt, thighs and arms!!
Probably take myself off to Poland for it - I have seen some very good reviews for the hospitals and surgeons there.
Thank you everyone else for your kind words.

[marval]

Well done Islay.

[Tilly2]

Good luck with all that surgery when you have it done, Islay. I know that you will ensure that it is done by a reputable surgeon.

[jourdain2]

Congratulations, that is some achievement. I would be cautious about surgery, though. Please check very carefully.
I am contemplating a trip to Hungary for dental work (a friend recommended this) but am still checking it out.

When you eventually get to your target weight, can you get your operation reversed?

[237SJ]

Or would you not be able to control your eating?

[mazie]

That's brilliant Islay. Well done. x

[jourdain2]

I've lost quite a lot of weight recently by simply 'portion sizing' and I imagine that is more-or-less equivalent to Islay's method. I went for a pub meal with OH on Monday and ate about a third of it. It is very slow, but eventually your stomach does shrink and you feel full very quickly. It is very slow, but safe - I can eat what I want, so I can cope with it. I mean it when I say very slow, but it works for me. A cheaper option for people. :)

I wish pubs and restaurants would give options on sizes of meals anyway. So much is wasted.
