Hi all,
I went shopping recently with my mum and we were in Katies (for her!). Mum told me to try on a suit for work and I laughed at her and said there was no way it would fit. She convinced me to try one on and lo and behold... It fitted perfectly!!
Now I have been banded 4 months and am still hanging steady trying to get the fill sorted (not gaining but not losing much either) and have only lost about 10kg and I know Katies have recently introduced a new biggest size but still, it was a 'normal' people store and the darn thing fitted!!! I get to count it as a NSV!!
Another fill tomorrow so hopefully some restriction will kickstart this journey again...
All the best to everyone, Molly |

Almost a year ago I bought a new outfit. Bought in a normal clothes shop. Skirt size 16 and top size L. I was too big for them at the time.
Today I fit into them for the first time. I am able to zip up the skirt and sit with it comfortably.
WHOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! |

Yesterday I went for my walk and I WASHED THE CAR. I've had it since 1998 and never washed it (My husband usually does). I have so much energy.

I had a fantastic NSV on the weekend. I have a dress at home that is a size 18 that I have never ever fitted in to (at the lightest I can remember being in the last decade....which is 7 kilos heavier than I currently am, I was still a size 20 on top).
6 weeks ago I tried on the dress and it would only zip about halfway up my back.
On Sunday that sucker did straight up without any trying!!!!!!!
Woo hoo!!!!! |

Today at Contours(similer to Curves) i touched my toes for the first time in years with straight legs, that was standing up, then i tried it sitting down and WOW i can do that too. They probably thought i was a bit nuts but i had a huge smile on my face when i left.

Hi
There is a little story to this before I get to the good bit so bare with me.
Twenty months ago I was the support for my friend and her husband at the birth of their child, so when I got the call that everything was happening I headed to the hospital to meet them. As I asked the nurse if I could head up to maternity she asked me if was I having contractions. I was very embarrassed. Soooo.... last night I went to the Support Group meeting at Knox Hospital and accidentally went into the prenatal class only to be told "I'm sorry you must be in the wrong room" Yaaahhhh. I don't look pregnant anymore!!!!
Thanks for reading
Mwa

I just love reading all your inspirational stories....lifts my spirit
Well done everyone!
OMG, OMG, OMG!....( I've got a bit of boasting to do! )
I've been champing at the bit to tell my NSV!
I have been waiting and waiting and WAITING for a compliment from somebody....ANYBODY on my weight-loss ( apart from those that know of my band or a stray drunk guy at the Casino at 3am in the morning!... LOL Linda!)
WELL FINALLY IT HAPPENED!! Mind you it took 5 months to the day and nearly 23kgs lost on my behalf!
...AND get this it came from one of my friend's husbands....Yes a guy! We were at a BBQ yesterday ( long weekend here in WA ) and he lent down towards me as he walked past and rather nonchalantly said "You're lookin' good!"
Then today while out shopping ...for some new size 16 clothes!!!! I saw an old friend I haven't seen for a while and she looked at me rather stunned and said "WOW you're shrinking away there!...what are you doing?"
Oh life's good....no...it's GREAT!
