Wow @Karen Tucker that is some super impressive weightloss! Next couple of weeks will be the path to onederland!!! @Marc76 you've worked so hard for this! That's awesome! @soccerkaty I am so thankful that sort of info isn't on UK driving licenses lol! You're doing fab! @spealex i think i speak for us when i say we all have wobbly days. Plateaus are very disheartening but, in the words of George michael - you gotta have faith. Stick with your plan and stay strong. You can do this xx

Call me crazy but....... I've decided to do Tough Mudder (Scotland) next year for charity (I thought this year was unrealistic). Now, I have a year to get fit and would really appreciate some advice as I don't know where to start. Eeeeek! I saw posts discussing footwear and staying hydrated that are really useful so that's helped already. I'm just not sure exercise-wise, what I should be doing x

Hi @wjgo and @336Mike, I think I'll definitely start with couch to 5k training and then move to the official Spartan/Tough Mudder guidance. I truly am starting from zero - I'm still early in my weightloss journey BUT I'm definitely gonna go through with it. If this process has taught me anything, its that mind always has to win over matter! I'm gonna do it sponsored for charity so backing out is not an option and I have to stay on track with training. Well done on completing Spartan and WOW a half trail marathon sounds tough! You guys are an inspiration! Where in Scotland are you going? I highly recommend the Highlands and Islands.... Loch Lomond if you're closer to Glasgow... There's just so many lovely places. Was just chatting to someone about going up Ben Nevis for a ceilidh last night. It's a great night up there. For England I recommend the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales for lovely scenic walks. Ireland - Giant's Causeway is beautiful.....x

So close @Marc76!! Well done - next week will be a milestone for you x Wednesday weigh-in for me too..... SW - 262 CW - 216 Total loss - 46lbs since surgery on 12th Jan

Wow @Karen Tucker you're doing amazing!! Not long til onederland!!! xx

Congratulations @Saranimal83 xx

Wow you look great! Well done x

Wednesday weigh in time I'm at 219 today. That's another 3lbs off despite being in the middle of moving house and having a chesty cold. That's 43lbs off since surgery on 12th Jan, 51lbs since pre-op assessment and 73 from my heaviest weight in August 2017. This was absolutely the best decision for me.x

Maybe lemsip hot drinks, nasal decongestants and throat sprays. Feel better soon. x

That's more than a lil scale movement there! Well done @JNS0711

Well done!! You're looking great!! xx

That's excellent @kristin30 x

This made me laugh so much!! I wish there was!! Xx

Yeah there's definitely a noticeable difference! Well done ☺

You guys are all doing so great! Every pound off is a step closer to goal xxx

Lol @FluffyChix get the bob Marley records on. I have no problem with people putting whatever they choose into their bodies. I do think, people have to educate themselves before they can make a choice. There's no point pretending there aren't associated risks. Not sure why a certain someone @Sprinkles1 seems to have an issue with that. And yip it's old cause it's long established.

Jeez you didn't even read it. It's from the national health service and gives you links to research papers as well as analysing how studies are performed - strengths and weaknesses. I guess that just went over your head.

Factually inaccurate I'm afraid @Sprinkles1 Putting lots of 0000s at the end of something doesn't make it more believable. As a scientist, I have to believe what the evidence suggests..... maybe you should read around the subject before you start using your 'alternative facts' based solely on myths and opinions. https://www.nhs.uk/news/cancer/smoking-cannabis-worse-than-tobacco/

Well done!! Xxx

If you're smoking weed, it carries all the risks of smoking cigarettes with some additional risks on top. Look at this as a chance to live a healthy life. At the very least, discuss it with your surgeon.

Wednesday weigh in has come around again... I'm in at 222 today. Slow n steady wins the race n all that lol ☺ xxx

@gisy87 everyone feels the pre surgery jitters hun. I sure did.... but think of the journey you've been on and how far you've come. You can't give up now. X

I'm 2 months out and having 1 each day as a meal replacement xx

Congratulations xxx
