Hello!
I Just joined the forum and found this thread.. So figured I would join in..
Joined SW last tuesday and weighed in at 25 st 12 lbs.(although I did lose 2 lbs since I last weighed myself.. But has hoped I had lost more as the weigh before that was a few months before.
My goal I've set myself isto lose 5 st. (consultant said to not give myself a too big of a goal to start off with) Ideally I would love to end up at about 15 st.. maybe less.
I'm only 23, but I'm the largest I've ever been (well, minus 2 lbs). I've been trying to get the guts to join for the past few months and finally convinced myself.. And it wasn't as scary as I thought it would be!
I do have a question.. Is anyone else scared about excess skin? I have a LOT to lose and I'm terrified of going under the knife. Has anyone here made a really big loss and could help with suggestions for what I should do? Are there any creams or anything to use along the way to help your skin go down with you? (sorry if that sounds stupid.
Hope everyone is well!
First welcome and good luck on your SW journey
Im so scared if loose skin, cant tell you how much. I have read and search on internet for what to do and not to do , but bottom line is - lot of ppl say it - better to have lose skin then extra weight. Is it true ? yes DO I like it - NO , lol
so thats why Im thinking to get under the knife if needed ( life IF is even possible here
) and i work out , yoga, pilates, watrer aerobics - anythig to tone my body. wanter is very good for tone. My legs got so much better in this short time For your behalf speaks you age . you so young and your skin in younger and you will be just fine =) My doc said, that no surgery before 3 years after losing weight . to give skin time to pull back.
Ofc we want all at once but by the time we get to our target ( uuuu .. somewhere 2-.3 years from now ) maybe our skin have pulled back nice and easy and looking back at todays worries, we will just smile.

Thank you for that lovely welcome.
I must admit it's nice knowing I'm not the only person scared of the skin issue.. I guess we all are lol
It would be really lovely if we all found our skin naturally decreased with losing
I've bought some cream from the bodyshop to help with my stretch marks, too.. Hopefully it will help.
And I may have to work out more, too. Does your local gym supply all that? You have made it sound really lovely.
Had a bad morning today. Scoffed down a crunchy white roll.. Only did one but I could have easily done more
. I was hoping to save my syns for tonight and have a bit of chocolate! Looking on my food diary I've been really bad with syns though, not using any. :/ A friend I have thinks that's why I suddenly have the bread craving now. I seriously think that I could easily polish off a whole loaf. It's all about the will power I guess! I'm determined to lose some weight! Is it bad that I'm already scared of christmas? We always go to the OH's parents. I'll just have to make sure I do really well until then.. And maybe invite them here lol

There's so many events and occasions that can trip us up we just need to learn how to get past them. Use your syns so you can have the foods you want. I use mine for a Chinese at the weekend or my one food that I can't live without, crisps! X

Thank you.
I was wanting to be naughty and get a pizza tues morning. (wanted a pizza hut pizza for tea) but after my loss I thought that I would stick to being good!
So far since WI everything has been well. I had a lack of fruit and veg weds due to having none in. Made up for it since with salads and even had a butternut squash soup jam packed with veg to help.
Home made burgers for tea tonight, having 2 buns (one healthy B) so that's 8 syns, 2 syns for the mince because Aldi didn't stock any <5% and I'll have a big salad with it.
I'm loving this "diet" lol!

Sorry - missed this!
I don't use a food processor - I just mix it all by hand (with my hands, it's easier) in a big bowl then shape into a loaf. It's one of my favourites and I make it once a fortnight at least!
