  1. Hopefully it comes to a grocery store near you. 😊
  2. It's not just your group. My mom belonged to one and she's told me some things...no one seemed to have lost weigh and kept it off. It was more of a time to talk about what they ate that they shouldn't and it's ok, do better next time deal. She left. I don't know how they view wls in her group but I can probably bet it's exactly as you had described it.
  3. I found my new favorite meals. Perfect! Just pop in the microwave or do on stovetop and voila! All plant based too...even better!!! I bought three of them. Eating the first one now, the Asian flavor one. So good. easy lunch and dinner for me, and especially on the days I don't want to cook.
  4. This looks sooooooooo good! Yum!
  5. That's my kind of weather!!! Love it. 💨
  6. Agreed. I always do. Thanks!
  7. I hope so too for you. I need that in my hip for bursitis but the doc won't give it to me unless I try PT first. Blah. Too young for all this pain...but with a loss of weight, I'm hoping to spring back.
  8. Hey y'all. I feel like I slacked since I decided to have a rest day the other day. I feel constipated, bloated, etc. I didn't focus on water nor nutrition although I didn't do too bad. Could have done better. I feel extra jiggly. I'm gonna have to just woman up and get my butt in gear again, or go back to the gym??? Lol. But I'm trying to eliminate all unnecessary expenses cause I can always workout at home. It's just harder I guess. But I'll do it. A nice long walk sounds good.
  9. W-O-W! 51lbs!!!? That's is amazing. I'm very happy for you too!! I love it!!!! So the injections are once every 5 weeks or 5 per week?
  10. Omg. That's terrible! We have some a bit but they're pretty crappy speeds. So we've got to pay up.
  11. Hate contracts. I was so happy when I got out of T-Mobile (when they had them) and was month to month, then they just switched to no contracts period. My internet is ridiculous..$70/mo. Anyone have anything cheaper? I could make this post about WLS....that cheaper price could be saved towards new clothes or plastics, LOL. Is early term fee less than what it would cost to pay for 11 months of it?
  12. Thank you Sweets!!! BBF!!! LOL Not easy, but definitely WORTH every bit of it.
  13. We hope to hear a great report!!! I wouldn't know what else could cause it.
  14. I eat cherries now (cause they're on sale), but I normally don't include fruits on a daily basis. I had an very small apple yesterday and got through less than a quarter, so I decided that apples are just too big to waste. I should incorporate more, but I haven't. Been doing more veggies than fruit. Good for you to go shopping. It's nice knowing we're in smaller sizes. Now, why did you happy face your face on the pics, but I can see you clearly on your profile??? LOL
  15. Mine did when I switched from the tablets to patches. But now that I switched back to, well, caplets this time, they're getting stronger again. I suspect it might be a vitamin thing. What vitamins do you take?
  16. We were meant to be!!! 😊 We don't have cable. Been like that for two years now. We rely on hulu and netflix and we have a paper antenna for the local channels. My husband does miss his games but the more important ones that might be on NFL channel, we're usually at family's to watch anyway. I currently use Quicken. It's not the greatest, always something not working. I'll check out YNAB and see if it fits for how I want to use it. Thanks for sharing. It makes me feel even better knowing that I'm taking steps in he right direction.
  17. I didn't make anything for dinner but popped a Nourish bowl in the microwave. I added some ramen to it for my husband, for extra filling. He'll probably eat leftovers tomorrow. I had every opportunity to work out today after work but I decided that I just wanted to rest. So I did. 3 hours of it. Lol. We're selling our 2015 Silverado Crew Cab for a used 2013 Dodge Journey. Why? $200 less a month and shaves off $15,000 of debt. my husband is selling his 2016 Indian scout sixty motorcycle too, another $10 grand. We're keeping my Avalon though....since it'll take God's miraculous hand to get us out of the loan..we shall see. Why are we doing all of this? To be debt free of course, to not be slaves financially anymore. Totally off wls topic, but it's another area of a health in my life. Financial health that needs a good exercise and diet too. 😊 I'm excited. I get a total body makeover and a total money makeover!!! 🤗😀🤣😁😊
  18. Wow!!! Good for you! I'm proud of you too hon. It does feel good, huh? 🤗
  19. I was cleared at three weeks to start weights but it had to be light weights in the beginning. I was quickly in to heavy weights about a week or so after that. So, as long as you're cleared and listening to your body (make sure there's no straining and pain), then you'll do great.
  20. I bought one before surgery. A size L. Suits tend to be on the small size though. Totally doesn't fit me. Hope it fits ok enough by next summer! So I bought an XL at walmart for now (since we frequent the pool).
  21. Also made these. My kiddos are eating them up now! They're actually on their second ones! Made them with garbanzo beans. Lol. Little do they know.....
  22. Totally forgot to take a pic, but I made these today. Sooooooo good!!!
  23. So I used to do Pilates and loved the feeling of being stretched and limber afterwards. I decided to do a quick Pilates video and the first move was to lay down on the floor on your back and pull up your legs at a 90 degree angle. Easy enough right? Not when it feels like your tailbone is sitting on top of a metal rod!!!! I couldn't lay down properly. So I tried the next move, lay on your side to lift your top leg up and forward. OUCH! It hurt my hip bone!!! Then I rolled over to the other side to check, felt the same. Am I destined to get my stretches one standing up? Hurts way too much to be laying on my bones, they feel bruised and/or like I said, laying on a metal rod. Anyone else have this happen to them? Maybe it's weight loss? Maybe it's my age? I don't know!

      Thanks hon. All I know is that I won't be rolling around on the floor anytime soon!

      Or you may need an extra comfy pilates mat. I brought I really thick mat for the gym when I am doing my stretches. The thin ones do not cut it anymore lol.

  24. Hi Sweets! I am too. Lol. I actually turned to the side one day and was surprised at how well I looked. I had clothes on. People have been commenting on my loss. It's been awesome.
