Hi I currently live in a little village (Sutton Bridge) in the middle of nowhere or least it feels that way.Its about 20 mins from Kings Lynn one way and Wisbech the other. I am aiming to move back to Peterborough in 12 months or so.

Wonderful job :smile: :smile:

105 lb down so far with 28 lb to go for my first target, once there will play it by ear see how I feel and how I look etc.

set it to lightly active earlier today.....as I still don't see the job as being over strenuous and cycling it sure beats the heck out of walking it in the shoes I have to wear

not sure on intensity , I am cycling between calls in the village, time is always a factor as i have to literally create it out of thin air ..or so it seems :O

I have not yet tried tight lacing, I now have 3 overbust corsets, and 2 underbust. I love them and can and do wear then most of the day, they provide several functions for me....hold all my lumps and bumps in so I have a more streamlines silhouette, allow me to not have to wear a bra....am cursed with a large chest and…

Your Results You have 25% body fat. You have 37.8 Pounds of fat and 113.2 Pounds of lean (muscle, bone, body water). It may not be as accurate as some methods, but its still a damn sight better than my starting reading of 53% bf when I first used a set of Tanita scales.

sammie the intelligent wolverine :happy:

very pretty tattoo :) gratz on hitting your target . Am considering a tattoo at target myself just still not sure what to get and where :)

5'4.5'' currently 151 lb from 280 was a size 24 Uk so 22 US now still not quite sure, my last aquisition was a pair of jeans in a UK 10 / US 8 but I am uncertain if its just generous sizings or if thats my new size...need to go on a window/try on shopping trip just to check. I dont want to say for certain I am a 10/8 until…

Walking is a fantastic natural and free way of helping one's weight loss journey. I tend to walk 6 miles in 90 minutes at least 5 days a week when I am able. Gradually building up speed will ensure that you can still get your heartrate going. I am starting to intersperse small stints of jogging in my walk now, jogging…

I also have a KiFit, its only letdown is the food diary, its pants compared to the one we have access too here on MFP

I'm so much colder now, and the Doc says its likely i have Raynauds syndrome as well :sad: just why it didnt really kick in till I started losing weight I will never know. Have already said catagorically there is no way I am gaining weight again just to keep warm.

the whole recipe serves 4 as a side or 2 as a main, but for me the side is my main :)

I've currently lost just over a baby giraffe

sans birthday suit every time, and when I know I have a weigh in at the Dr's I make sure I wear something as light as possible, never jeans and jumper, and always slip on shoes , which always come off before I even think of getting on the scales.

I will be trying the Mexican Chicken next week. Thank you all for the recipes :smile:

You are doing fantastically :). I have come to the conclusion you are right with your rule of thumb, and am pushing my GP to start the process for applying for funding if at all possible for my TT.

congratulations on reaching target :smile: . I'm still about 8lb away from my second target of 140lb so would love to hear what maintainers have to say.

I guess I'v been pretty lucky, weighed myself this morning in my birthday suit and registered at 148.6, got dressed and checked was 149.6. Had an official weigh-in at the Dr's and their scales registered exactly the same as mine fully clothed.:smile: . I call it an official weigh in because they are monitoring my BMI for…

It really will depend on the elasticity of your skin and how long its been stretched for, I'm not expecting mine to disappear, but then had been overweight all my life, throw 2 pregnancies into that and I'm left with a huge apron :grumble: Some women are lucky in that they can tone up and get rid of it...with my luck I…

Mine will not say anything unless I ask if he can see a difference.His rational for not saying anything, and its a valid one if not still annoying :frown: He sees me every day so doesnt notice the difference the way others do. I know he has noticed, when I sit on his lap for a cuddle he now makes me bring a cushion with me…

there is a wonderful recipe on the forum for crockpot chicken and pineapple that I am going to be trying later this week, its dead simple, soy sauce, tinned pineapple and chicken breasts with optional crushed red pepper to give it a bit of extra kick. I'm going to add bell peppers, mushrooms, onions and baby corn to mine…

cook chicken breast strips in a chinese sauce something like hoysin and garlic, shred some lettuce, chopped onion and cucumber, add to a flour tortilla wrap with some salsa and enjoy, my lot put chese with theirs but i hold off on it, but its still scrumptious.

When I started wakling I would walk 8 miles in about 2 1/2 hours, that was too long to be away from looking after my MIL so I tried to build my speed up while still walking, I can now walk a 15 minute mile, but am starting to turn it up by interspersing my walking with jogging (nothing major, but defo faster than the…

I started with a 40 J (uk sizing) now single figures from target I am a 36 F. Main problem being that the girls have not got smaller, just lost their filling so hang like empty bags against my stomach :sad:

I really dont do bananas, the smell makes me nauseous :frown: but i will throw frozen fruits, cherries, strawberries, blueberries etc in, as well as low fat greek style yogurt. that and a scoop of my slimming shake. its yummy

Snack a Jacks crunchy Curls run at 88 cals a bag If I need chocolate, lol ok if I want chocolate its a single milky way at 98 cals

1 Tattoo owl in flight on my lower back 4 piercings ears, nose and 2 others :devil: Planning on another tattoo in about 5 lbs time when I hit the target my Doc set for me to get to.

welcome to the site :) There are a few of us here who have had WLS, be it bypass, sleeve or band. I was banded 2007 , feel free to add me.
