Errrmmm never put it to the test with exercise really! I was rubbish! I have done aqua natal every week this year though so that's something. Hoping once Evie comes along it will all click into place and I can get into the eating smaller portions and exercise! Aim to be out walking her all summer long!! X

Do body firming lotions really work?

A few weeks ago the lady I work for (who nos my mum)accidently told her about my band she relised straight away my mum didn't no and asked her not to say anything which she hadn't to me but I'm worried in case she's told my sister who along with her husband are opionuated and will think its cheating .I so wanted them to think highly of me and be proud of me and now ill never no that because they probably won't ever say well done.

Good Luck- make sure you explore and read as much info- positive and negative as you can. X

I had the band a year ago I never told any one .

 

[mimi42]

Iv brought some summer clothes tops size 12/14 and 3 /4 length cotton trousers in 16.
Going to be a good summer I hope.

The annoying thing is mimi it's far from cheating and unless they know more about it they will never know. It's you that's done all the hard work. Be proud. X

 

[mimi42]

Had terrible indigestion yesterday that got worse after my fill just from drinking water.

Thank you for your wonderful posts. Huge congrats on your weight loss. I totally understand on the not telling. I told my parents (adoptive) but not my birth mum. Its not I didn't want her to know it was I did not want all the aunts and cousins to know. However ended up telling her as I let slip I was having stitches out when she phoned the other day hence missed her call! Of course she was concerned as she did not know I had had surgery. Felt immediately guilty and found myself explaining what I had done and my reasons. I expressed that I am trusting her to be supportive and not gossip to the aunts. However my husband later said, "What you have done is incredibly brave and difficult and if they should gossip shame on them. Hold your head up and never feel embarrassed for recognising you had a problem with weight and accepting help. That takes strength and courage and you should be proud. If people judge it is because they have no idea of your journey. " Weight gain and loss is a personal journey like pain. People can support and travel with you but only you can determine the journey. You decide who travels with you too
You have lost so much weight and it has taken a lot of strength and discipline. The wls is a tool not a cure. It has aided you to lose the weight and keep going. It is not a magic wand people can gain weight after wls if they do not keep to a sensible diet. Don't feel guilty hon. Be proud of all that you have achieved. It is not a cheat.

hugs and I hope next year I will be fitting into size 12/14 too
