Well done! You've done a fantastic job. What a lovely husband you have.

Wow. You're a weight loss superstar

To lose 8lbs and get back to the lowest weight I got to last year. Really proud of myself for stopping the gains before it got serious. So 8lbs off by my birthday and then 2 stone to go to this year's target. Very pleased with the way it's going. Good luck to all.

I have a rather impressively large stomach. I am all stomach, no significant fat on legs, bum, arms etc. A true apple. I expected the apron to get worse and hang further but actually it has shrunk upwards. I have photographic evidence but its not fit for mfp. To see that it will continue to recede is fab news. I know it…

I think we just have to accept that what happened, happened and to enjoy the process of fixing it as much as we can. Huge congratulations to you on your hard work and determination.

I found this unacceptably rude.

I've got six pounds left before 199 so im right behind you. Your story gives me the motivation to do it! Thanks for posting and i look forward to hearing about more of your successes.

i think that the majority of medical people see WLS as a permanent solution to obesity so they'll see this surgery as an economical way to reduce expenditure on you long term. I don't think people will see it in quite the same way in 20 odd years when the long term statistics become known, but this is purely my opinion.

Ive lost 52lbs so far and all my weight is stomach and boobs. My legs fit in jeans two or three sizes smaller by backside isnt particularly big but my stomach is truly awful. Sometimes it seems Ive lost weight on everywhere but my stomach. But then i look at pictures and the tape measure and i know its gone down. Indeed…

Amazing. Absolutely amazing results.

Just read that. I found this section interesting Reducing sugars intake to less than 10% of total energy: a strong recommendation The recommendations are based on analysis of the latest scientific evidence. This evidence shows, first, that adults who consume less sugars have lower body weight and, second, that increasing…

Im old enough to have gone heavily into the all fat is bad for you bandwagon in the 90s so all this just feels like we're doing the same thing again, just with a different food group inserted into the gap.

Fabulous work. You are doing an amazing job.

I am 44. I have lost 52lbs since January. i walk, iron, cook, clean, sweep, lift things that need lifting etc etc for exercise. I started doing exercise videos but prefer to get my exercise from doing what needs to be done. Ive actually saved money.

Im rocking the wrinkly stomach too. Its far far preferable to the weight.

Oh my goodness. Im waiting to go to hospital for a day of breast lump clinic to check strange lump in right boob. I hope its a glommed together fatty lump - Dr didn't really see how weight loss and breast lumps could be connected in any way. The wait for the appointment is agony -the UK national health service only works…

I want to take my wedding ring off. Weve been married 20 years next year and i still absolutely adore my husband but this wedding ring hasnt come off since the day i was married and its made a really awful purple welt on my finger. I don't want to cut it off as it was my grandmother's. I don't know if being as light as ill…

Improved sense of well being, increased patience with others and a desire to remain positive even when stressed to the nines. may and june are traditionally difficult months and im coping better than usual despite a medical problem hanging over me.

Yay to us all. And massive well dones to you for your weight loss.

I have a stomach to end all stomachs, and it's nothing to be proud of. I have lost 48lbs so far and its gone from places that i didn't even think were particularly fat before it started leaving my stomach. Ive only gone down two sizes and no one who doesn't know im losing weight has mentioned it to me. I think this is all…

Congratulations! !

I think that sometimes, brains are slower to catch up than wed like. I saw myself yesterday in a glass shop door and was instantly disgusted by the sight of collar bone abd then realised that it wasnt disgusting but actually rather cool. Ive list 40 odd pounds and left my brain behind.

So sorry. Boat with my daughter.

Legoland was the location of one of my most humiliating events. I got in a oat with my daighter and it sank so far in the water that it scraped along the bottom so I had to get out. Everyone stared at me and my daughter was so sad we couldn't do the ride. It wasnt enough to make me change though. Huge well done on your…

You lot are the reason that WW's share price is tumbling........ I for one don't miss paying them.

Youre doing pretty much exactly what I want to do. Im so so impressed. How long has it taken so far? Whats the best thing about the weight you've lost? You look absolutely great.

Well done to you! Thanks so much for sharing your story. You look great in your old jacket.

I wish spot reduction worked too (believe me!!) but it appears not to, both from my own personal experience and published scientific evidence. Sorry.

I didn't think that with sw you knew how many calories you are supposed to eat? I thought it was red and green days and syns or sins when i did it. I lost a lot of weight with slimming world but it wasnt a particularly healthy diet dor ne because i was just living on the sins and healthy extras as i was breastfeeding so…
