I love the unwich at jimmy johns! I loved em before surgery, and even more now. It's a nice change from the usual things I eat every day.

Nioxin and Bosley both have a conditioner.

Biotin will NOT keep your hair from falling out. What it does is help new hair to grow in stronger and faster. If you want to try and keep hair from falling out, you can try the hair treatments like nioxin, and Bosley. (I'm a hairstylist)

So sorry to hear this! You both will be in my thoughts. ♡

I had a great weekend! I went to silver lake Sunday and went to the dunes for the first time ever. So much fun! A bunch of us went out to eat after and the only place we could find had a late night (it was 10pm) menu of apps abd pizza. So I got a thin crust pepperoni pizza. Ate 2 small pieces. It was delicious, and totally curbed my craving for pizza. Monday I grilled out with my neighbor and cleaned my house a little. After having a few cheats this weekend, i weighed myself today, and I was still down 3.7 lbs! For a total of 73 so far in 14 weeks. Couldn't be happier! Plus, I wouldn't have gone to the dunes this weekend, if it had been 4 months ago. I wouldn't have been comfortable. But being 70 lbs lighter and having so much more confidence and how much easier it is to get around... best weekend! Plus, my bff's jeep has 35 inch tires on it. I've been scared to get in it without a step stool (I'm only 5'1 so the tires alone are over half my height, plus I had acl reconstruction 4 years ago and have been scared to "jump" with how much I weighed) and tried it this weekend by grabbing the roll bar and pulling myself up. I CAN DO IT!! I was so excited/proud of myself. A good NSV right there for me!

Yeah. The 18s are loose in the waist, but seriously suction cupped to my legs. Made me so mad! But not at myself. And especially not when the girls that work there said the same thing, and we're smaller than me. I'll just have to figure out a different place to get jeans.

Dark purple is night 2/18, light purple was last week Wednesday, at 12 weeks.

Yeah! I was a 28 or 30 pant pre surgery. (Not exactly sure, as a student I basically lived in yoga pants) and while I stuffed myself in an xl yoga pant, I just went and bought a couple size L yoga capris, and size 18 jean capris a couple weeks ago. Woo! And I'm still in xxl tees from old navy, but they're looser, and I did buy some xl tank tops the other day. They're a little snug, but I wear em under stuff anyways, so it'll be ok. Plus I'll get more wear out of em. Jean shopping has been stupid. Old navy 18s are loose in the waist, but are like sausage casings for my legs, especially in the calf. Apparently that's a thing though, as a couple girls who work there said the same goes for them. But I love wearing colors again. No more all black for me!

February 19, and I'm doing amazing. I feel better than ever, have more energy and stamina to workout all the time. I'm 68 lbs lighter, and about 6-7 pant sizes smaller. Best decision I have ever made. I'm so excited and happy every day now.

Biotin isn't going to stop your hair from falling out. It will however help your hair to grow back faster, stronger, and healthier. The only way to try and combat hair loss is by getting enough protein and nutrients in your diet. Or, also using products like nioxin or Bosley will help too. (I'm a hairstylist.)

You look amazing!

Woooo hoop jen! I bought some size 18 capris 2 weeks ago, that are already getting loose. But same thing. Real jeans, pockets and all! And I saw some friends that I haven't seen since before surgery on Friday, and they all couldn't believe how great I looked. Totally made my day/life. Hah. It's amazing how good it feels when people can see and comment on the progress.

Dr. Gluck was also my surgeon. I love him! I'm 34, and I was 314 the day of my pre op appt, and am now 247. Woo! I am a hairstylist, but went back to school to become an RN last year. Ummm, I grew up in spring lake. Been here all my life. I've lived in Chicago though, and miss it so much. I can't wait for it to be nice enough to to REALLY enjoy the beach and stuff. Who was your surgeon?

I'm from west michigan too! Spring lake. I'm 12.5 weeks out, 6 pant sizes smaller, and 67 lbs lighter. And happier than ever before.

So I took my 12 week pictures tonight. I see lots of difference between the night before and now... but not a lot in the last 4 weeks.

What's up?? I'm sure I can muster up some motivation! Or at least try. I joined planet fitness today. (Or well, yesterday since it's the middle of the night) and I can't wait to go today! I've been using the gym I get for free at the hospital where I had my surgery, but the hours stink, and next week it will he closed for lunch after my class gets over, so I needed to figure something else out. 20 bucks isn't bad either.

Omg! So, I bought a pair of Jean capris from old navy todsy. Size 18! I didn't even think a 20 would fit, but they were too big. Wooo! I haven't been able to walk in and buy jeans from old navy in probably 6+ years. I went from a 28/30 to an 18 so far!

Both of you ladies look amazing! we're all gonna be super hot beotches in no time♡

You sure are! We're kicking fats as5, and not backing down. We may be slow losers, but we're losing. And that's all that matters. <3

I'm glad she's going to be okay, even if it's a long road to recovery. How did the person who hit her manage to do such a thing?!

Girls!!!! I'm officially down 60 pounds!!! Jen- holy sh!t, I hope your mom is/will be ok! I wish we all lived closer and could work out and get skinny together! I also wish I was in Texas because I'm sure it's WAY warmer than it is here.

I either get the kids steak or chicken grillers. Or I'll do the grilled shrimp add ons.

Maybe if I took it everyday? I rarely take It. But needed it for incision pain I was still having 2 weeks ago. Besides ibuprofen, it's been the only thing to help with any kind of pain or inflammation. I've obly taken maybe 3-5 pills since I got it filled a couple weeks ago. Oh, and I have only needed it at night, so I can't comment on the drowsy part.

Good luck! It's amazing how exciting it is to poop now a days. Haha. My doc also said to not go any longer than 2 days without a BM. I I don't always listen to that, but I try.

I usually have to do MOM and 2 dulcolax or colace, and I'm almost 10 weeks out.
