For any of you thinking will this really work for you, here's a few reasons to spur you on following my recent hol abroad
1. Airplane seat....my OH could overspill onto me for once, the tray pulled down with room to spare and belt...,well it could have been cut in half!
2. The heat....could have easily managed without deodorant, didn't sweat once, yet was mid 30's..,bizarre!
3. Photos...yes...i was in every pic being taken and full length shots too, (and bikini ones)
4. Attention...to have a bloke tell my OH to keep hold of my hand as i looked stunning...OMG!
5. Horse safari..the horses legs didn't buckle from my excess weight!
6. Poolside...you can be the one to sit on the side of the pool not caring what others think and can walk over to the pool bar without having to cover up..!
I'm sure this list could go on and on but for now believe it can happen...it can it does it will :)

Hi Jo,

I wrote you a long post last night on here but just noticed it hasn't worked!

I just wanted to say you look absolutely amazing in all of your photos and I have to say that 3 of your NSV's would be mine too......having photos taken, walking just from my sunbed to the edge of a pool without a sarong and finally getting hot and bothered (sweaty!!!) because of the extra weight I'm carrying!!!
I have a few questions if you don't mind.........
Do you have any saggy skin since losing weight, as it doesn't look like it from your photos?
What are now your staple foods?
Do you still have fills, or do you stop going once you have found restriction???
Thanks

Same here, my reply cancelled so you now get an abbreviated version lol....grr!
Saggy skin-bit of a bat wing and a c-section belly so no itsy bitsy bikini but otherwise it's all good, it could be because I started at 17st or because I exercised religiously from day 1 or both? I'm lucky in that respect tho as its nothing severe.
Staple foods-carnivore :) meat meat and more meat! Lol but I never have rice pasta bread or spuds....really have taken a dislike to carbs due to the damage they do to your body! If only I'd educated myself sooner! Everything now gets bulked up with salad. Post hol I've a strange addiction to corned beef n cold hot dog sausages :) don't ask :) guess I've had enough shish kebabs :D
I've not had a fill since June and if I eat the right foods it feels adequately restricted for now.....sweet stuff (my Achilles heel) always slides down regardless but that's part of the band downside, I'm due my 1yr review in oct so I'll see what they say then but for now it feels just right...if I choose wisely! Otherwise a tub of Ben n Jerrys will get demolished without problem :D
Hope that helps but feel free to bombard with questions, happy to help all of you if I can xx

You look absolutely fantastic and are an absolute inspiration for all of us who are working towards similar goals.
May I ask your advice with regards to exercise? What exactly was your exercise plan since your surgery? How many times a week/what kind of exercises did you get up to to optimize the weight loss? I am 3 weeks post-op and have been told not to start exercising until 4 weeks have passed - but I am trying to get a plan together to get the ball rolling once I hit 4 weeks.

Many thanks,

S x
