okay i'm just gonna reel off whats happened after losing 22.4kg so far:
I can reach my bum (very important)
I fit into the smallest clothes that I own
My cheekbones are starting to be noticeable
My shoes are very loose
People who havn't seen me lately stare...lol
I'm only 20 or so kilo away from non plus size clothes
That should do for now.....

Hi Leanne,
Went and checked out your blog site well down what a transformation you must be so rapped.
I have begun a blog for us as a family of our journey and on one of my pages is a slide show of Tassie, we went for a holiday in 2005 and loved every minute of it. If you want to have a squizzie the address is www.brookesfamilydoingitt ogether.piczo.com now if Mr Yahoo puts a space in there, there isn't one lol.
Congrats again and I can't wait for the kilos to start dropping off and to be under 100kgs, am currently 100.4 so very close.
Best wishes,
Gerry |

Do you have a blog site of your lap band journey, would love to see it if you have one.
Tried on another pair of pants that have been sitting in the wardrobe for 5 yrs and they also now fit Yah...

This might not sound like much of a NSV but today my husband had to take my car, so i was left with his work van which I hate. The seats are to tight and the seat belt clip always sticks into my hip. That is until today not a problem,I fitted quite well without a problem no more painfull driving.
When i told my husband he said that means he can have my Rav more often, i should have kept my big mouth shut.

yayaya - i'm so excited as I finally have a couple of NSV's to add!!!
- finally able to sit in the plastic chairs at the doctors and also in the cinema chairs COMFORTABLY - no squirming or sitting at odd angles or indents on my thighs or raising the arm rest!
- re discovering my collarbone (and constantly admiring it in the mirror), ankles, ribs, spine - I HAVE BONES!!
- and my biggest NSV so far - went out on the weekend and was asked out by two people - pre banding i was quite shy and insecure and, even though i still have a long way to go my confidance levels are soo much higher.
Can't wait to see what happens when I am another 35kgs down!!
Liz :) |

I just realised I have a NSV :-) Its been a long time baby....
I now CHOOSE to walk places instead of driving etc. I noticed this on Sunday when we walked from northbridge to kings park for the perth get together - and then today I got off the bus a few stops early so I could walk the rest of the way.
When on earth did this occur! Very happy about it :-)
Love Felice |
