Update

Well I have started on the new Curves fitness and weight management plan. I have had to slightly tailor it to my needs as I can't eat as much food as everyone else or the same food due to the band. I have also bought some celebrity slim shakes to have a 4.30am when i get up as my tummy doesn't really function well at that hour of the day.

I have been really good doing uni work and working out so all is getting better on that front. i have drawn up a timetable that my psychologist wanted me to do and it shocked me how much I was trying to fit into my days. I now realise why I felt so out of control.

I have an engagement party coming up on the 19th September that I really want to have toned up a bit in that time.

I am feeling more positive about things and thanks to everyone for their comments, encouragement, advice and support, it means the world to me. Thanks again!!!

Funny how they always say the complications and bad points of weight loss surgery and not actually about obesity complications!!

I've hit a rut

Well I thought I would post a few thoughts......I have been in a rut lately. I have been on placement for uni for 2 weeks at Kurri hospital. I haven't been to the gym since getting over the swine flu and being on placement. Food choices have been crap and haven't really been going down at all. I have been feeling all round crap. Uni work isn't getting done cos I just plain can't be bothered. House is a bomb site and I feel like heaps of stuff is piling up on me mental and physical stuff. In 3 weeks it will 12 months since I first got my band. Yes I have lost 22kg but I feel I could have done a lot better and yes I know I have achieved a lot but its just how I feel. I am going to make a big effort in September to go back to going to the pool and curves 5 days a week and doing uni stuff EVERY night. I am seeing my psychologist and my GP on Monday, it will be interesting as I have kinda dropped the ball since seeing them both and I know the chat I will be having and the consequences that will have to be done. I am hoping to have a better report once I have my weigh in and measure at Curves on Tuesday.

Time for a catch up

Well I log on today and realised it has been over 2 months since I last posted. I have now lost over 21kg forever and I feel somewhat healthier. My size 16 jeans and pants are now getting loose on me which is good. I have about 10kg to lose till my first major reward which is a ride in a friend of mines 4wd rally car. At the moment though I currently have the dreaded swine flu so I am feeling like right royal crap. I have been juggling curves, going to the pool, uni work and normal work. Life has been very full on and hectic lately. I will attempt to try and keep more up to date as I do find it good to sure my achievements.

Less than 30kg to go

Hi everyone,
Well I have stepped on the scales and I have less than 30kg to go to my goal weight. I have been so busy lately with hubby losing job, uni placement, uni exams next week that I haven't done ANY study for, rallying and just me normal day to day stuff that it is hard to sometimes step back and realise where I have come from and where I am going to. I have been seeing a psychologist who is helping me work through some long pent up issues I have in gained in my lifetime. I have only been to 2 sessions but I feel I am making some progress, but she also gives me homework which sucks so add that to my long list of things to do. I now I am getting somewhere I would just like to be there now...........

My update from May 09

Well I had my weigh in and measure last Monday and in a month I have lost 14.5cms, 2.1kg and 1.76% of body fat. I am beginning to notice some parts of my weight loss such as I don't have as much of a jelly belly that I used to have, and my upper arms don't jiggle underneath as much as they used to. All good.
