Weight Loss

[jennyjoan]

I have lost a stone in weight yet do not feel the loss in my clothes or even my body. Why would that be.

[Tilly2]

It must have gone from your face and shoulders.

[Islay]

It depends on how much weight you have to lose.

1 stone out of 20 stone is not much but 1 stone out of 4 is!

Its all relative.

[jennyjoan]

well I wouldn't be 20 - was 13stone7lbs now down to 12.7lb.

[jennyjoan]

Tilly - you're right - when I used to lose weight years ago - it fell off the top of the body but I'd liked to have come off bottom of body ie bum. Do have quite thin legs and ankles.

[Islay]

Are your scales actually working - have you checked yourself on your surgery scales?

[jennyjoan]

Yep - I have weighed on 3 different scales and still the same. Remember I haven't had a drink in 3 months so maybe that has helped. I used to drink beer.

Maybe you have lost the fat around your internal organs.

[pastafreak]

Have you measured yourself?

[jennyjoan]

Last Friday I was going out for a meal and pulled out brand new trousers which I didn't think would fit - put them on surreptitiously and hey ho - they fitted - in fact they were loose. It was a great feeling especially when one usually swells up after having a meal but no still felt great. Onwards and Upwards.

[Tilly2]

You said that your clothes don't feel any different, JJ.

[jennyjoan]

If I get to 11stone I would be very happy cos I will be able to get into far more clothes. Never will I be 8 and half stone again nor wish to be - too old - weight loss at an older age shows up in the face.

[jennyjoan]

Yes Tilly I did say that looking back at the first op - I maybe meant some clothes - as I say the new trousers fitted like a dream. oooops.

[EcclesCake]

Are you particularly short? You have implied previously that you are a larger lady but your weight doesn't suggest that to me at all, unless you are of a diminutive stature.

[jennyjoan]

Oh no not diminutive - average for a woman

[EcclesCake]

OK, you being over weight is not a national secret but your height is.........

[jennyjoan]

is a national secret

[Tilly2]

I don't mind anyone knowing that I'm 5' 4".

[EcclesCake]

Absolutely flipping bonkers as ever.

Would love to help but traipsing through the barmy stuff is too much like hard work.

Sorry.

[ummmm]

JJ - be honest wit yourself

[bednobs]

i have recently lost 3 and a half stone, and have not particularly felt it in my clothes
