I just got really tickled! Wen to my "content/followed" and opened this thread. It came up to the first post and said "All I see is a conversation about wrinkles!" Well, um, today, I looked in the mirror and I swear my neck and face look like a roadmap! I've lost down almost 20 pounds in the last 8 weeks and boy, does my face/neck suffer when I get back to my goal weight range. I NEED FILLER! Anybody else in my age range had any fillers?

Good luck, FibroDiva! You will NEVER REGRET it! I don't! A brand new life starts for you! Just remember, that as with anything, you have to follow the guidelines and make up your mind that this is my NEW LIFESTYLE. It's awesome! Be thinking of you during the next few days. Check back in with us after your surgery and let us know how things went.

Yep, What we are going to need to wrap our heads around is this is just like anything else - "honeymoon ends!" LOL Then the real work starts and we should be losing 1 lb a week (and probably that's an average, so some weeks none, others maybe two etc) I know, for me, simply realizing once again that I CAN lose and function on a "normal" pattern like other non-surgical patients (because, honestly, everyone has to watch what they eat or they will gain unless they are blessed with an absolutely fabulous metabolism) do too! I'm very happy that in the space of time we have been on this I've accomplished getting back within "goal range" and know if we keep plugging along we'll be better off and there WILL be less of us! Coops, yeah, I had the "bounce" today (told myself I wasnt going to weigh until Friday!) but was pleased it wasn't any more than it was considering my wonderful weekend in New Orleans. Didn't really overeat (well, except the homemade Tollhouse Cookie Cake!) but definitely NOT what I've been eating. I don't think, for me, though, that I could just EAT WHAT I WANT WITHIN CALORIE RANGE on my non-fast days and continue to lose, though. Just don't see it happening. What do ya'll think?

You are who "widdle!" You look maaa va lous!!!

Well, back to reality and life as a 5.2er! Didn't really try to NOT eat but logged most everything and calorie wise not too high. Yesterday would have been worst since it was Baby Girl's 3rd BD party on NOLA and other Grannie's HOMEMADE COOKIE CAKE! Yep, I indulged. And indulged. And the indulged again a few hours later. But hey, this is Normal Day, right? Lol. Somehow I don't quite feel that way but as Laura said, Tomorrow is fast day and I WILL BE fasting cause that's what I DO!!! I had "held" last Friday so still at 19 lbs lost. And not thinking otherwise until NEXT Friday. . I am ready for my routine, though.

Yep, logging everything. The 1/4 to 1/2 "dressed" Radastas Only NOLA Poboy and couple bites gumbo and cupcake!!! . Was surprised to see I was still only around 1385. Not bad.

Why shouldn't we take advantage of LIFE and HEALTH?? You go, Girl! I was 56 and don't regret a minute!

What does pin mean ?

. Glad it was just a cast and not surgery!

Held today at weight in 158. ????And. ;(. Have a good day, All!

Day done. Weird day. 398 calories!!! Thinking I would eat another snack but when I stopped and sat down it was 9:30 so no. We will see what happens with Weigh In Friday.

Okay, Ive cleared the Halfway point! 150 calories under my belt. Now deciding what I will have for dinner tonight. Maybe my "go to". Lol. I'm very original. 2 extra lean turkey franks, 100 cal guacamole pack and cut up red pepper and cukes. And still have enough for my SF fudge bar or WW strawberry frozen yogurt bar. Okay, gotta stop. Made myself hungry.

Thanks, Friend!

Lay your arm across the scale first and then subtract that from your total. might work

I didn't either til I saw the little + sign on top by send button. Wha la! You can add pics from there!

Thanks, Friend!

I took a pic this morning to update my FB profile and realized that I was dressed almost exactly like I was 3 years ago prior to VSG. So here's my TBT photo for all those struggling or making it or need some encouragement or just sharing in the love!! We are winners if we keep trying !

Here's to Fast Day and encouragement. This is my"Throwback Thursday" pic for you guys

Up and at 'em on my Fast Day! Feeling good. Hoping for reward on the scale tomorrow morning! Leaving for NOLA in the morning. Land of the Beignet. Heaven, help me!

I've always been EXTREMELY jealous of those people who look "careless" elegant and then There's me who has to work to look average! Lol. Now, in my opinion, Feed would be one of the carelessly elegant types! And Coops is the pixie looking fresh faced girl And Laura looks like she is a kid at 47! And M2G has that thin lovely face in her profile which I am ALWAYS envious of since my round face always looks chubs. Oregon, I can't see your face. . And the other girlfriends on here who are at 135-140. Well, just know I am ENVIOUS!
