Hi everyone :-)

[ToxicSiren]

Hi everyone im Lindsey and just realized i never actually introduced myself eek.

My weight loss journey started around 18 months ago with my starting weight of 210lbs and a BMI of around 39.
Was told by my GP i could not have any surgery to help with weight loss so was prescribed xanical which was not very pleasant at times...yuk.

So far i have lost around 58lbs bringing me down to 152lbs

My current target is 140lbs and just got the fab news that the NHS are funding my tummy tuck

My tummy tuck is being done on medical grounds not cosmetic. This is due to daily back ache, infections and constant rashes and sores under my very large fold :cry: I have pics if any one is brave enough to look haha.

Any way thought id post a couple of pics of me from start of my weight loss to xmas so still need to get some recent ones.

This is me on a hen night weighing 14st 10lbs

This is me on NYE weighing 11st 9lbs

Currently i weigh 10st 13lbs so will need to get some new pics

Hope you all have a great day

Hi again Lindsey Thanks for the more detailed introduction (I've said hello on an earlier thread ). The pics are great too. I love to see pics as I find them very inspirational. You're doing great anyway and I'm so glad for you about the tummy tuck funding x x

 

[ToxicSiren]

Thank you everyone im actually really proud of myself for once Will get some more pics up at a later date as well as my tummy tuck diary x

 

[Samsara]

Oh and I'm brave enough Seriously - it would be great if you could share any before/after tummy tuck pics as they are really helpful. I will want surgery at some point and there are barely any pics for plastic surgery on here. They are like gold dust! x x

 

[ToxicSiren]

Ok promise to get some pics up

My pics are hilarious and not to be shared on the internet LOL ... before photos ... droopy skin with black marker pen all over like a dot to dot / jigsaw puzzle. After, all bruised and swollen, but now lovin the changes

 

[ToxicSiren]

Wow, you're looking great. Well done you for doing it and I'm so pleased you got funding for a tummy tuck. You should be proud of all that you have achieved x

Hi
You look great and well done on losing the weight on ur own I wish I could of done it. You are very lucky to be funded for tummy tuck my daughter has tried for years to have it done on medical ground but without any luck so she is off to Poland in august and several thousands to pay. I'm really pleased for you and good luck.
