poor you
rapid weight loss can lead to gall stones, i had mine removed when i had my gastric bypass, most people can stop taking insulin after a having a gastric bypass operation. good luck with the low fat diet. its almost as much as a pain as looking for low sugar. its amazing no artifical sweeteners can mean lots of sugar instead
i have lost 40 kilos since the 29th april down to 25 stone 6, i think i will miss my original target of 20 stone by 22nd of october. but have now heard thre words i thought i would never hear from a dieticain "eat more".
good luck all with the dieting

wow david, well done!
i was lucky a band was never an option for me, but i did do the cambridge diet for 18months, off and on, and thats where the problems started...
ironically i have always dieted before going to disney, then let myself go, if you now what i mean, my on stupidity means im goign to have to watch what i eat, or live with the consequences, forever.
i have lost 17lb in 3 weeks prior to the op, i was so ill i couldnt keep anything in my system, and that was an eye opener.
i teach food technology in high school - and it is my personal mission to educate kids to the "hidden" effects of extreme dieting - i was genuinely happy when iwas bigger, i had more energy and more out going personality.
now i am concious that i have loads of lose skin etc.
why am i continuing to diet? for a bust reduction to remove bck problems, i must get my bmi to 25 before ill be put forward.
whatever you are losing weight for - please be senseable, i must be the only eprson on here that says 0.5lb per week, thats great- its controlled its sensible and its safe.
rant over

I'll be back with you on the 24th with no doubt the task of trying to lose 9lbs holiday weight before the Girly Weekend less than 2 weeks later

Have a good month everyone

have a great holiday Mandy and enjoy putting on some weight

Well I am back on the diet waggon after falling off it in a big way during July - although saying that I had only gained 1lb when I hopped on the scales on
1st August - I think I had reached 10 stone 8lbs before I fell off the waggon and I am now 10 stone 9lbs. I really thought I had put on a lot more than that. My objective is to get below 10 and a half stone before the end of August at the very least! Then I can work on getting to 10 stone before Xmas. ( and ultimately 9 and a half stone by this time next year)

Good luck everyone for the month ahead.

Sarah, glad to hear it wasn't as bad as you feared - welcome back and good luck this month

hi
i really need to lose 5 stone to be the top end of right weight for my height omg that sounds really bad and scary when i say it out loud, but to be honest i would be happy to lose 3 stone i was comfortable at that weight. so im aiming for 3 stone and then see how i feel.

good luck for this week

You can do it Kellie, you need to split it down into smaller targets, though, so the amount doesn't fase you - try thinking about losing a stone or 1/2 stone at a time. I find that works for me, setting myself smaller targets seems to make it more achievable - good luck

can i join in too?? please??
i have had quite a crap year, resulting in me having my gall bladder removed last week and having to let my tribe fly to eygpt without me, all of this is due to yo-yo dieting.
im now on a constant low fat diet for the rest of my life, and 1 complication of the removal is possible diabetes
i have lost over a stone since it all "kicked off" 3 weeks ago, and now have to maintain that weight (im 12.2 now - at my heaviest i was 22 stone, see what i mean about yo-yo ing???)
i would like to get my BMI down to "normal" which means 16lbs to go for me...

as i am on a very restricted diet (again) hopefully it will come off...
but i need all the help i can get

Welcome aboard Tracy, hope you are feeling loads better now and good luck

I have lost ....0.5 lb, not much but it's a loss at least I just don't think I am going to be like 'posh spice' in 3 weeks time oh well.

Andrea, well done - 1/2 lb is still a loss

Great loss of 2lbs...must feel good after being static for a while! Well done!


Me, I've stayed the same, which isn't too bad I suppose as it's my time of the month too. I've not cheated myself and done my classes this week, so hopefully next week there might be a change! Fingers crossed!
