Why is this (UK Section) so quiet?

My surgery group has a Facebook group so I've been checking here less.

Found a great online shop with designer stuff at sale prices for both sexes. Try BrandAlley-it's brilliant. The jacket came from there-French Connection and the price was £50 cheaper than the John Lewis sale price. RESULT!!!!! I'm loving the fact that I can browse through sites, lust after something nice and now I can actually buy it knowing that I can get into it. I'm having a ball-just don't let on to him indoors! He is being mislead into believing that I am just unearthing clothing from the closet from about 12 years ago!!!! Best way. Kindest too. Saves him fretting that his economy drive isn't being adhered to!!!!

The Outnet is another great site for designer bargains.

Hi everyone, I'm bumping this post as I'm new to the forum and I'm in the UK. There doesn't seem to be many of us here but at least now there is one more

I was sleeved in late June in London, on the NHS. I've been in a stall for the last week and a half and it's so frustrating! I feel like I'm not going to lose any more weight even though I know that's ridiculous. Just can't wait to start losing again.

Hi JJ - welcome!

I've been on a stall too but it's started coming off again. I was sleeved in April and looking at your stats you've lost the same as me, so hang on in there, you're not doing badly.

Thanks RosieCheeks, it's nice to come here and get some perspective!

I bought my first top in ages from a 'normal' shop and not a 'fat' shop - I was tickled pink. Now a size 18 bottoms and 18/20 top, down from 22/24 bottoms and 24/28 top. However, my head is getting bigger with every pound down

Hi JJ, welcome to the UK bit of BP. You're in the right place. If you are anything like me you're going to need to hand on as this can be the ride of your life. I (personally) am loving my journey. I'm in the middle of a stinking great stall at the moment but I haven't felt this good since I was in my early thirties. Got 20lbs to go until I reach my goal and it's hard work now. I was sleeved Oct 21st last year in Belgium and am just so glad that I did it. Good luck hon, life just keeps getting better! As for you Ms Cheeks-keep letting your bonce get big as you bum and boobs get smaller. Well done x

Hi Jinty, hope you are well. I wondered where you'd disappeared to.

Thanks Jintycb, I am so glad that I found this forum! Its great to talk to people, who understand what I am going through. It's weird isn't it, but I never expected my RL friends to try to (kindly) sabotage this as much as they do.

But anyway I'm happy, the scales seem to be moving again and I'm down 1.5kg since yesterday. More of that please!
