I lost 0kilos. This 8weeks I'd actually put in a lot of effort... and I lost nothing. My thinking is: I try really hard to lose weight, eat veggies, salad, cut down meal sizes and I don't lose weight. I don't put much effort in and I lose 10kilos. What the f**k is this?! It's really not fair. I was so looking forward to see how much weight I'd lost. I'm so disappointed. f**k my life so bad right now.

I'm feeling okay about this, I just kinda wish it was more. Thats probably selfish of me, but I can't help it.. Still in MAJOR need of a holiday!

But here's an update. My last weigh in 8weeks ago said I lost 25kilos. My next weigh is next week, and I'm really hoping I've lost 30. Christmas is coming up, which is exciting. I have a beautiful dress on lay-by for Christmas day. I can't wait to show you guys, I'll post a photo as soon and I've got it. I got myself a job, I'm now working for my mother as a receptionist/ beauty assistant. Shes a beauty therapist and just brought her own salon. I have just gotten a kitten, hes my little baby boy. His name is Eric. thats him. and here is a photo of my dress, well the top of it anyway. its fantastic and it looks fantastic on me! Its a maxi dress, and those are really flattering but this one is sort of a-line. It's amazing, I adore it. The white part is lace and its lovely. I can't wait to wear it on Christmas day. I also found out that my lovely mother is getting my hair extensions in a few weeks, so I'll have lovely long hair. Life is going pretty well at the moment. I'm also going back to school to do my year 11 and 12. Then I'll be studying to be a midwife, life is looking up. I'll update again once I've weighed in next week xx

this will help, I wont have time to eat.. I wont be bored and eat.

thankyou I was banded, a little over 3months its been okay, a bit difficult.. But its great

wish me luck <3

Went to the gym for the first time last night. Only went on the treadmill for 30mins though, just to warm up and get used to it. I loved it! Me and Mum are going to go every night

at the moment I'm on about 600mls a day. so, I'm eating healthy, my latest favourite food is watermelon and cucumber. I've never really been a big fan of veggies, so I'm trying to get used to eating so healthy! It's been so intense for me, getting used to even having the lapband and getting used to eating slowly and what I can and can not eat. I'm just so happy to actually, to be speaking to people that are going threw the same thing as me! I'd love some recipe ideas if anyone has any, I need to broaden my horizons. any advice is helpful! <3

reply: honestly at the moment I've been advised not to count calories and just to eat as healthy as possible.

I'm only 16years old and I had my lapband done 3months ago. I've been heavily overweight my whole life. I had tried everything and I even had a gastric balloon inserted and it barely did a thing I've done every diet you can think of, so this surgery was a last resort for me. I've had a lot of trouble with it I've actually been set back 3months because of wrong advice given to me by my doctor, who I'm no longer seeing because of this. I've only lost 8kilos, everyone tells me it's not bad its good.. But I know it should have been much more. I'm okay with that loss, I have to be.. I've also only just started at the gym. Only because I didn't know when I could start working out. I'll explain further about the f**k ups. I hadn't actually seen a doctor since my surgery. So last week was the first time I'd seen any doctor. That in its self was BULLSHIT! Keep in mind that I'm a 16 year old and I'd just had major surgery and was given the wrong diet plans and because of that f**k up I'd ended up in the emergency room TWICE! This had been extremely stressful on me, I'm even losing my hair! Doctors aren't supporting me like they told me they would, I've heard that you're meant to have fluid put in a few weeks after surgery or something like that, I had to wait 3months. UGH! It's been stressful and terrible for me... and all I really want is to feel pretty and actually be healthy for once in my life. I want to be confident enough to have a great 18th birthday party and have all eyes on me, in a good way. This is just a bit about my story.
