I'm just messing around in my closet. Trying to throw some combinations together, lol!

Looking wonderful KaysMommy... I think you look thinner than before the lock down.. how did you manage that!! lol

Yay!!! She's back Welcome back, we've all missed you!!

Love all your new outfits, the green dress though.... ummm yeah Hello.. how you doin? Hahaha...
It is a very elegant dress actually, I hope you get to wear it somewhere wonderful soon.

Welcome back @ms.sss. You had us worried. Looking fabulous as ever & your butt looks mighty fine in that green dress.

My new fashion accessory with pajama's is a fit bit that arrived this morning! LOL. Actually, while in 6 weeks of quarantine - I'm trying to improve + update my limited tech savvy (still back in the dark ages claims my engineer hubby) with new cell phone apps, online webinars, Zoom meets and other curiosities! I resisted at first. Now all kind of fun at least, for the time being... The fit bit really tracks a lot of things. Colorful cases, too. Who knew? ;]

LOVE LOVE LOVE the floral dress and halter bodice lines on you. You wear it so well. And, your arms - wow! The mermaid emerald gown is gorgeous on you, too, ms.sss! The neck line is exquisite. Emerald green is the birthstone of May - May birthday by chance? I'm a May 29th baby and that is one of my favorite jewel tones. Once my foundations arrive via mail (did not have time to shop in person for them after PS before lock down). You've inspired me (and, hopefully, others on thread) to play dress up in my closet for outfits acquired for cancelled or postponed meaningful major events this spring. Sadly, they were all hung in garment bags directly without a last fitting from seamstress... that's how quickly everything closed down here March 18th - six weeks ago now. So, I guess it's time for a little fashion show and cheer to lift ours spirits! Thanks for getting the ball rolling... x o ;]

Thanks for sharing. I hear a lot about that Dr but I haven't taken the time to watch any of the videos. At 20 mos post sleeve surgery I would have to agree with him that it hasn't been that hard to just keep doing what I'm doing. The surgery really has been successful for me. Now I just live my life as if every day is just a normal day, and I don't really identify as being in maintenance. Fortunately I've been holding at a pretty constant, comfortable weight for over 8 months now, without much extra effort. I may feel differently should things change for me down the road. I also like the Dr's casual conversation and tone, including some of the profanity slipped in there - makes him seem real. I'll have to look at some of his other videos.

Hey @chayarg, its been a while...it IS tough during quarantine when we just sit around at home all day
Are you still tracking food and your weight?
I had sort of slacked off a bit...I still track, but not as meticulously as I did 2 months ago. And I had basically stopped running for 3 months after PS. And I would sometimes miss a daily weigh in or two. As a result, I gained a few pounds. So I went back to tracking everything, started running again (no more PS open wounds, yay!), stopped eating past 7pm, and made sure I got on the scale every morning. I knew this routine worked for me, so I figured I should get back to it.
(ASIDE: Now that I think of it, my slacking sort of coincides with my sabbatical from BP...co-incidence?)
Anyhoo, I'm rooting for you to continue your downward trend ❤️ #youCanDoIt

...and here is one more. I am especially pleased that my butt has some minor protrusion in this dress, instead of its usual pancake look. #squatsAreMyFriend
My PS swelling is still hanging around on my lower tummy, but it is getting smaller....slowly.

Wow, I just went through several pages of gorgeousness. This is what happens when you step away for a while! Everyone looks soooooooo good. I would like to comment on every single one, but that will take me all afternoon. Just keep 'em coming ladies (and gentlemen ).
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Like most, I have been living in work out gear (or pajamas, or underwear, lol) the past several weeks, so my OOTD game has been lacking. However, last week, I got a few dresses in the mail that I had ordered for an event I was supposed to go to, but was cancelled (eff you, Coronavirus).
So whats girl to do when she's all dressed up and got nowhere to go? Well, put on a fashion show and post it on the OOTD thread, of course:

Hello all you beautiful people. It’s been a while. I’ve been in nothing but workout clothes the past few weeks. I have to go into the office for a couple of things this morning so I finally put on real clothes. I’m ready to be back at work. This working from home, being teacher, and having hubby home all day ( he was put on furlough 🙁) has been really stressful. It’s been rough. I hope you are doing well, I’m ready for all of us to get back to normal. Have a happy and healthy day everyone.

don't go.... we like when men come to visit.

Thank you. Being kinda goofy. I’ll leave all of this to the women

I like it!

I like it!

Ok will be 4 yrs july 11, I went from 405 to 229 in 12 months. Doc said I could stop at 245, but i hit lower as 220 was my goal. I have maintained 230 to 240 since. I drink with food, it doesnt bother me, and fact started doing it at 8 months. I noticed 1) it seemed to push food, some, through pouch faster. I also noticed I can eat more than I could after 2 yrs and doc said you lose feeling that is is backing up in esophagus. Which is true, and if you throw up you can easily choke, so dont. But 3 slices of a large thin crust pizza is my limit, so that is my experience with that. Nuts, raw veggies sit in pouch for a long time, and only think I cant eat is cabbage, it gives me terrible heart burn. Water is hard as I forget to eat or drink until 7pm a lot. I never desire too, but have a bad habit from before of snacking while watching tv, and i have chips and drink water with, all chips and bread seems to stsy in pouch a long time. I mainly eat Protein and a carb, i take BariLife Multivitamins 6 a day and blood work is slways perfect. 2 insulin 6 shots a day stopped at surgery and still diabetes is at bay. hair lose happened, but as a guy, not that bad and similar to 2 brothers. Skin was an issue but it shrinks more yearly, strangely body morped is still going on for me, shorts that fit at same wait, didnt last ur, but this year they do. I never had a butt, but now I do, and waist has gone from 54 to 36, but up to 38 and fown to 34depending on yr lol. I can drink booze like I dud before, just can't chug a hole 12 glass. I can drink 64 oz of water in 15 minutes no problem, so I think the water think is to keep your pouch fuller long term but very important fitst yr. Dehydration is no joke, so I stay up drinking water if I haven't finished my 64 oz jug for day or 4 16 oz water bottles plus I like apple juice, which I mix with 3x as much water in my jugs. But tonight I realized I was 32oz short so I did. The last 2 yrs have really dedicating the water rule after dehydration happened twice, not fun. I also use syntex nectar and sugsr free Walmart drink mix for my water bottles. Drink booze stopped my weight lose for a,week when I drank at 9 months. I notice now I will gain a few pounds for a few days after drinking booze, I don't much, but not sure if it is extra liquid or my guess, it messes bodies system and weight and digestion are really a rhythm. If I eat 3 meals and 2 Snacks I lose weight, if I eat once, I gain so find your systems happy spot. I do best with a breakfadt, proteain drink lunch maybe just water, a dinner with carbs and protein, and cheese or a snack about 9, and then water until bed. Life is dimple as I live alone. When company comes and stay I eat with them and cook, thinks Zi just wouldnt normally eat. But that 5 lbs drops fadt after they leave, so you couples have it rough. I just don't buy bad idea food for me.

OK I’m new to the selfie game But I took a picture of my outfit for today. Very comfortable Carhartt T-shirt with Smoky Mountain brewery trucker style baseball hat. I have on blue jeans with Hiking boots. Guess I need to find a mirror and do pictures like what y’all are doing. Happy Friday

Working in the days of COVID-19. Did an angiography in full gear later. FFP-3 mask, face shield and all. *sigh*

Well, I wore real clothes on Easter, but didn't take a pic 😖
So here are a couple of my running errands outfits

Our walk after Easter dinner in the preserve behind our home. Just hung out in my oversized comfy t-shirts and sweats from heavier days. And, the super moon earlier this week.

I might wear actual real clothes for Easter 😲

Great idea! Let's do! All play dress up and wear our make-up this Sunday. Realized with the mask no need for make-up or lipstick! Boy, have I ever gotten lazy over the weeks... I may never want to dress again.

Not really wearing anything new these days around the house... BUT did want to wish you all a very Happy Easter or holiday weekend. We are on our 25th day of lock down. It appears to be making a difference. Yay! Easter basket made for MIL in memory care wing home locked down since March 10th. We'll miss not taking her out to lunch. Always love NE budding branches every spring for our living room. Definitely post a favorite holiday meal, a family tradition, outdoor walk, in-house outfit or such to keep all our spirits up and alive! Silly Kitty and ms.sss are missed immensely.
