Soozern 75 Posted May 14, 2016 I am off to a reunion this weekend with people I haven't seen for years (some of them for 30+ years). This is something I would NEVER have had the confidence to do last year. I will probably look a lot more wrinkly than some people there (I'm 63) but I simple don't care. Having lost weight I just can't describe how good I feel! Happy days! I feel there is nothing I can't do - I am just coming to the end of the C25K and can now run for 25 minutes! For anyone considering the sleeve I really can't think of any down sides - just DO IT! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Soozern 75 Posted May 18, 2016 @@RosieCheeks I've lost just over 100lbs - not totally accurate as I only weigh once a month,so probably a bit more than that. I used to be obsessed with both food and scales, but now have new interests! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soozern 75 Posted May 18, 2016 @@chrisredjeep Had a brilliant time away and only just got home, having stayed a few extra days. Funnily enough I weighed the same as I did when I last saw a lot of the people there! I've just had a very fat 20 years in between! I didn't take my running gear and wouldn't really have had time, but I was back out this morning and don't have any plans to stop! Hope things are good with you - are you home yet?

jintycb 721 Posted May 18, 2016 Don't worry RosieCheeks, it won't be long until you are traipsing around with an idiot grin permanently on your face due to the fact that you are feeling how us veterans are. I'm going to be locked up soon for walking around looking like a complete ditz! My life now compared to this time last year? No contest! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
