3 Months Out Update

[New & Improved Mel 1]

I'm at 3 months out and here is where I'm at:

I started this journey at 100kg (aahh!!) 220lbs and now I weigh 77.6kg / 170 lbs (Yay!!!)

I have lost 22.4kg / 49lbs...

I was busting out of Australian size 18's and now I can get my butt into a size 12!!!

I have lost 71 cm in total from my body.. 20cm alone from my waistline!!

My BMI is now 31, down from 40..

I once had sleep apnoea, now I don't wake up grasping for air!!

I used to feel huge and in the way, now I feel comfortable in my skin...

I used to puff crossing to oval to pick up my kids, I now skip up the stairs with ease..

My exercise bike was caked with dust, it's now out of hibernation.

What else can I say? but this is without a doubt the best thing I could have ever done for myself!!!... Sure compared to others, I am one of the 'slow-losers'.. but thats fine. I chose to be a 'secret-sleever', so the gradual loss is working well for me, nobody suspects that I am losing weight in any other way than good old diet and exercise, (which is pretty accurate anyway).. but I have this sensational tool that makes it just that little bit easier!!

I still have 15.6kg / 34lbs to lose reach my goal weight of 62 kg (BMI of 25)... so I guess my only concern is that I am now worried about when this weight loss will stop and the honeymoon period people say about on this forum??.. (That and the fact that I am still losing quite a lot of hair each day, luckily I have quite a lot hair to begin with!!)... So if anybody has any advice or experience about what to expect in terms of weight loss from this point on I would really appreciate it!

I'm so excited for you! You're doing an awesome job! My surgery is tomorrow morning and I'm still having moments were I freak out and want to turn and run but then I hear stories like yours and I get so excited again. Thank you for sharing.

Well done you!! I am down about 22 kg myself, but I am four months out, so you're faster than me! I am sure if you lost all that in three months, you will have no problem to reach your goal. Go you!

Congrats I'm really happy for you.. I've lost 26 kg , I'm 3 months out, and I'm suffering from Hair loss so I went to a dermatologist and he recommended the "mesotherapy" which is Multivitamins injections in the scalp..

Good luck 
