Hi my name is Elaine from Australia, I am 55 years old, reached my goal of 65kg in 2019 before having 2 major surgeries, one to remove a brain tumour which was followed by 4 months of steroid medication, the 2nd surgery in 2021 for a knee replacement. Both caused significant weight gain and I have been struggling since to…

Hi there, I am hoping I can join this group here. I almost hit my goals back In 2019 then had to have a major surgery for a brain tumour (benign) and was on steroids for 4 months. I gained so much weight in that short time. Then last year had to have a knee replacement so my weight has been doing the yo yo thing for the…

I have a question.... do you copy and paste the whole thing each day or do I just go in somehow and edit to add the daily weigh in??

You look great! How much in total for you![/quote] Thanks everybody, I have lost 27kg all up. It has been over a 2 year period losing 16 kg in a 12 week challenge at my gym in 2016 and then a few kg here and there then I just recently did another 12 week challenge where I lost another 8.5kg

Thank you all so much for your kind words. It means a lot and makes it all worth while if I can inspire just one person to fight hard to reach your goals and never give up .

Well done to pick that up!! I was dressed to go to a 50's party so yes I was dressed as Sandy :smiley:

I got involved in a challenge in my local gym. In 12 weeks I lost 16 kg and won myself a years free gym membership. I prepreped my meals which were chicken and veggies or turkey burger and vegies. Logged into mfp (about feb April 2016) and lots of gym. classes and weights. It took the rest of the year to lose 7kg

I am still a work in progress. 19 kg lost. Another 10 to go. I can't believe how much better I feel.

I am 48, battled with my weight for years. I have lost 19kg (42lbs) and feel amazing, another 10kg to go. I feel that my life style has changed completely and I have no intention of going back where I came. I think once you have slipped back once you know how quick and easy it can happen, so you know if you have some…

so how did you lose the weight exactly??

Hi, I have been gradually cutting my carbs back, I am wanting to try the low carb high fat way of eating but I am a little scared about the high fat thing after years of trying to stick to low fat! I have seen a lot of people have success on it and health problems disappearing. I am just having trouble working out what to…

You are Amazing!!!! Please do not make this your last post! you will inspire so many others to do the same as you have done. I can understand why you find it hard to take compliments, you are not used to it. You have spent years feeling bad about yourself, but you have to let that go! You deserve a big pat on the back from…

I want to give this a go but have struggled to even get started! I never realized how many carbs I ate until I tried to cut down!

Good on you!!! not only will you be so much healthier but you look great to. Good work.

I know 2 people that have had it. Both of them lost huge amounts of weight, but then they both ended up having to have it removed as it slipped or something went wrong with the band. One of them has gained all her weight back and some as she still had bad eating habits. The other one put half the weight back on but then…

Wow amazing difference! you look so much younger. Congratulations

wow good on you!!! what a fantastic achievement! Get out there and enjoy life, ignore the negative people, keep the positive ones close by. Good luck on the rest of your journey.

WOW, well done. Congratulations!!!

lol well you did give me a chuckle and it goes to prove it is not always about the scale. Well done

did you join a gym and start eating healthier or are you telling us that you did absolutely nothing different and suddenly started losing weight?? If that is the case you need to go to the doctors immediately. no waiting to see where it leads as it may lead to death!!! It could be cancer, it could be anything. GO TO THE…

great work! Such a big change already! I loooove the fitbit, my kids just bought me one for my birthday, It really does help with the cals in and cals out.

this is one I heard of for the backs of the arms, not sure if it would do anything for the excess skin but may give more muscle tone. stand with your back to your kitchen bench, Bring your hands back so that your palms of your hands are holding the edge of the bench, then bend your knees, letting your arms take your…

fantastic work!!! you must feel unbelievably proud of yourself! good on you. :smile:
