So, tomorrow my balloon comes out after a year. Looking forward to having it gone but so happy that I did it. Hope everyone is well.

How long after your insertion? The first few weeks this is normal but not after that. You should be able to do more than before if you're losing weight.

Hello all...been forever. I had a really rough time with the loss of my sister and our move and I gained about 10kg from my lowest. Now that things have calmed down I'm back on track and I'm down 5 kg so almost back to where I should be. It's a struggle every day but it's worth it. Next month I...

Never heard of Thompsons but even at 106 kg I fit into the seats just fine.

Thanks everyone. Much appreciated. Today is moving day and tomorrow we fly out for the funeral. Nothing like a little stress!

My sister-in-law passed away last night. My poor husband is a mess. Scrambling to try and get his passport back before the entire country shuts down for Eid. Exciting times.

You're teeny-tiny!

I'm an American living in the Middle East! We're from all over. You'll see pounds, kilos (1 kg = 2.2 lbs), and stones. No worries. Everyone is super nice!

My hubby came home last night! Great as we've been apart for three weeks. I'm doing great on the food, really controlling what I eat, and not snacking. Scale is slowly but steadily going down. Lots of stress coming up soon with the move so need to remember that protein shakes are my friend...

Been doing really well on food. I've cut all processed carbohydrates from my diet. I'm sticking to lean meats and veggies. Unfortunately though, when I cut carbs I get a serious hankering for Diet Coke. Obsessed! Trying to keep it to one a day. Feeling better, not drinking, and determined to...

Hey everyone, sorry I haven't been around. Went to the UK to see my sister-in-law. Had a fab weekend with her kids and husband. After I left on Sunday she was rushed into hospice. My husband is now up with her... It's touch and go but she won't make it much longer - days at the most. Trying to...

Love all the pooches!

Home from Dublin, fun but difficult trip. Having both sets of elderly parents with us was like caring for children. Gained some lbs whilst away but I'm in full diet mode now. Hubby got back on a plane to the UK within 12 hours of being home. He's back Sunday and then I leave for the UK on...

My PCOS is gone!

Here are my babies!

I always find male doctors to be more gentle and polite. I always steer clear of the women! My GP told me that I look great, and I shouldn't get any thinner because men "like women with some curves." :D You def need to change doctors!

Haha! Yeah, we travel quite a bit. The Summer is hard in Dubai, it's so hot and Ramadan isn't an easy time to be there - so little trips make it possible. Back up to the UK soon too, to say goodbye to my sister-in-law as we're pretty sure she won't make it out of hospice. My parents and my...

Hey everyone! In Dublin on holiday, was a good girl and had a salad for dinner. Hopefully it'll counteract the Guinness! Determined not to gain on holiday. Didn't being my usual gym gear but brought my Speedo so will do some laps tomorrow - will be nice to get a break from the weights and the...

Had my 35th birthday bash yesterday - a Great Gatsby Gala! Was soooo much fun!

Hmmmm. I've been struggling with IBS for years. When I was thin it was a problem, too. Since getting my balloon I've had some of the worst IBS issues ever. Though (fingers crossed), I've been virtually symptom free for the last 5 weeks after having an intestinal parasite. I hate dealing with...
