Heya im Liz

Ive been on another weight loss forum for about 18 months whilst i lost the bulk of my weight (im a mod there), anyway im here now to poke my nose in and say hi - maybe have a chat

Ive lost about 163lb/75kg and im pretty much 50% of what i used to weigh dead on. I have another 10lb to go, but im in no major hurry, its going - just slowley

I do have a lot of excess skin ill have to get surgery, however now ive lost the weight im going through the process of donating a kidney to my older brother. So thats gonna happen in a year or two (they say you should wait that long anyway before doing it)

Since this is my first post i wont link you all the progress images yet, ill do that later or something

Hi Liz and welcome!

Wow, congratulations on your weight loss! You must be feeling wonderful.

We have a couple of forums here at 3FC that I'd like to invite you to check out -- first, we have an active and vibrant community of maintainers, including quite a number of big losers like yourself. The Maintainers Forum We're all dedicated to keeping the weight off for life and we'd love to have you join us. Second, we have a forum called Body Image And Issues After Weight Loss that deals with excess skin and all the physical and psychological issues we face after we lose weight. You might be interested in the Weight Loss And Skin FAQs posted there.

Looking forward to getting to know you!
