Step 1 Sole Source Losing half of myself 55/141lbs

Have my snow, its a nightmare! We're not due anymore until Thurs/Fri so hopefully things will go back to normal.

Watching embarassing fat bodies, makes me so worried about loose skin. I'm not expecting to be perfect but I would hate to get so far and have issues that extreme. I've always said I would get my arms lifted but now I'm worried about thighs, boobs, tummy and mounds! Bits that I never knew could be lifted, eeeeeek! Makes me so concious about exercise, def going to tone up what I can for now and hope for the best.

Bit long winded there!
 
Even if that does happen it can take 2yrs for your body to spring back so any decision should not be made until after that time. Depending on your NHS some will pay for skin removal, im under a scheme called SWMS that do have funding for that but you have to have maintained for at least 12 months before they'll consider and i think you have to prove you've been exercising to tone up first too.

Where abouts in UK are you to have had so much snow? Backgarden is still all glisteny and snowman has a funyn shaped head from the extra snowfall but all roads and pavements are clear, think that's coz of it being a monday and lots of cars about.

Do you watch the biggest loser programmes? I think they're really good at keeping me motivated, there's 2 on at the min biggest loser aus every day on Sky living and biggest loser USA on Mon nights on living xx
 
Hi Kim I know what you mean about sagging skin, after losing 7 stone I was really worried out this! I must admit I have been to see a surgeon last September and he advised me that I should wait as nina said! I think this is also a reason I put a bit on it a kind of sabatage way as I was convinced that I would be able to have it done straight away! I have however promised myself that I will get it done but need to maintain my weight for a couple of years before I have surgery! I would really wanted a tummy tuck and an arm lift! I could also really do with a breast lift but could cope without this!I had three C Sections and 3 lots of bowel surgery and to be honest my tummy has this horrible overhang which I hate and will get this done as my first priority when I have maintained my weight! Nina thanks for the tip about SWMS I think I am going to look into this!I have been to the gym lots when I was off of cambridge and no matter what I did my tummy mucsels (cant spell it) are shot to peices so no matter what I do they are never going to firm up my tummy not matter what excersise I do!I will agree with Nina that other areas have got better over time so it is worth waiting! I also watch embaressing bodies and in the past have watched biggest loser but have not been watching it this time what series are they on now! I have lost count of the ones I used to watch and used to have them on series link!Take Care x
 
Im prepared to pay myself for a section I really NEED doing, but its great to know there are other options available. When I lost weight before I had a tiny bit everywhere but that didn't really bother me, still looked ok in undies lol, but that was 4 years and one baby ago.

I'm in Nottinghamshire - the weather has been mental. Russia has a lot to answer for!

I love Biggest Loser, I was gutted when they scrapped the UK version :( I always seem to notice other versions weeks in, I'll have a look when my virgin box decides to play nicely!
 
I think Aus version is showing series 4 and USA sommat like season 14, its the 2011 one so most recent and only on episode 4. Do they have SWMS (specialist weight management services) where you are Theresa? Cant say they've done ANYTHING to help me and TBH i am only sticking with them coz of the potential of skin removal if necessary, think ill prob need boob and tummy if i do get to a healthy BMI but kind of me thinks that after all the ops Ellas (my lil girl) has had to save her life i'd be being a bit vain having a bit of skin lopped off if that makes sense. There was a lady on here, cant remember her name now coz she's changed username but she used to be called pink punkster and she lost 17st and had skin removal done and she looks AMAZING!!! I remember when i first lost weight aged 18 i lost 4st and was around 11st and this guy i was with dumped me coz my tummy was a turn off so if i had hanging skin at 18yrs i'll definitely have skin 12yrs later and after childbirth lol good job hubby loves me as i am.

Oh according to Met office it's snowing where I am now, heavy snow in fact and theres not a single snowflake silly weathermen!!!!
 
I used soap and glory the firminator religiously last time, just using normal moisturiser this time, loads left over from xmas bath sets! Have set up the kinect so will have a play on your shape tonight
 
Day 20, almost 21!

The longest run I've done no cheating was 6 weeks, halfway there!

Done a bit of exercise on the kinect, will be a little bit more tomorrow - it was only 15 mins but I play to build it up slowly so it becomes an everyday activity.

The kids are in bed so I'm going to watch a bit of tv with my water and shake. My scales haven't budged since Thursday so my weigh in will be interesting, I think its facsinating how mch it flucuates over the week :)
 
Day 21 3 WHOLE WEEKS!

Weigh I tomorrow at 10am, not lookin forward to the usual small 3 week loss but its all in the right direction:)
 
Id be happy with 4lbs, but I normally loose 2/3lbs week 3 so Im not sure how its going to go.

My scales say +2.5 lol
 
Well im excited for your WI for you, you've stuck to it so you deserve a good loss. Water fluctuations are ridiculous I can easily gain 5-6lbs throughout the day
 
Wowee kimbowee you're doin amazingly 1 1/2st in 3 weeks is just unbelievable. Bet you're grinning from ear to ear i would be!!!!!
 
I am very pleased with myself. I know I'll settl down loss wise so I'm looking at another 8 and a bit months of shakes and bars! Seems ages!
 
Stil it's amazing :)

When's next WI? Mines tomoz and despite being 100% im convinced im going to have a rubbish loss
 
Thursday, booked into a regular slot for the unforseeable future!

Really struggling tonight, blahhhh!
 
How did you get on did you manage to distract yourself? Any plans for the weekend or has the snow scuppered everything?
My WI was meant to be today but both CDC and I are snowed in lol hoping she can get here tomoz tho else i'll have no products left
