It's good and bad all in one but I'm finding it strange at the moment!

I am finding this a pain too. I find that people I have not seen for many years do recognise me but people I have not seen the last 12 months dont! Very strange.

Well, if you've lost 235lbs, I'm not surprised people don't recognize you! wow! That's about the total of what I weighed at my heaviest! A whole fat person!!!

Mixy doesn't come on here very often these days girls ... this thread is from 2010. But he did do remarkably well & was the first contact I had when going for my talk at the beginning of my journey. :) xxx

Still very well. Still not mentally right though. I have to get it into my head that I am no Chris Hoy when it comes to fitness. These people have been training all their lives, me, less than 3 years. I tortured myself with the scales last year and still ended up being 'obese'. I just wanted to be 'overweight' and I tried my hardest and I couldn't get below the 15 stone mark, 14st 13.5lbs I saw on the scales but the camera took the scales to bang on 15 stone, still 16st 12lb loss, but I threw the towel in over winter. Stepped off the bike and exercise. Not looked so much at the food content and relaxed. Obviously the weight has gone back on, no idea how much as I don't go near the scales, they are the undoing of a lot of people, but I guess about 2 or 3 stone.

It's just the rest I needed and I'm back on the bike with a renewed vigour, still very healthy and cycling 20-30-40 miles and more whenever I have the time and want to.

I'm still doing monthly presentations to the next rounds of 'new' possible patients and I've now been asked to do a presentation to hospital staff who deal with WLS patients along with the 2 surgeons, psychologist (Might have a word with him whilst I am there), dietician and specialist nurses. I am very honoured to be given this opportunity and I continue to try and be motivational for people :)

Well done for listening to your body though. Sounds like though you have seen a gain, it was the right thing to do.

And it must be brilliant sharing your story. It will help so many others. Good on you :D
