Oh, I have bat wings aplenty! You just can’t see them in those pics. Most of my loose skin is in my stomach, though my thighs and whatnot also have some crepey skin. And let’s not talk about my poor boobs. The plastics I’m planning on getting next year are a tummy tuck and breast lift. Then I’ll re-evaluate and see if anything else bothers me enough to address it. Today I broke out the FANCY jogging pants! Sparkles and everything. You can see the loose skin/pudge in my stomach in this. It’s fine, I’m overall THRILLED with the weight loss, so no complaints!

This thread is now all Angie all the time! Today’s running outfit. Before and after shots. It might be a bit soggy out today. I was thrilled to find a trail that was still open, and is easy to social distance on!

I’m working from home. My outfits have been jeans and workout clothes. Today I’m in my black overalls. The black slippers and wool socks are NOT the right shoe choice with these cropped pants, but hey, my feet are cold! I love this pink striped top, and I’m sure it makes my run faster when I wear it! One of my goals throughout this process was to be able to feel confident running in just a sports bra and capris, like KaysMommy is rocking. I’m not QUITE there yet, but getting closer! My most stubborn fat pocket is on my tummy.

I love that top on you, the fit is perfect!

These are great! Now I wish I had kept some of my old shirts. I especially love the ruffle dress.

OMG I would LOVE to share your clothes. Damn, you are a fashion goddess!

Off on a lunch hour de-stress run. Holy moly this top is too big! I’m WFH now, until probably at least mid-April. So my days will be in jeans and sweaters, or workout clothes.

Today was pretty long and stressful, after a couple long and stressful days. So I went with comfy. I’m loving these ballet flats, and they totally give off a 1950s vibe. I’ll be WFH next week. So jeans and sweater pics coming up!

We are In the midst of figuring out our operations and whatnot (I work for a uni). So I decided to go 70s funk. No good reason, it just made me smile. And I LOVE these jeans. They are everlane cheeky jeans. High rise, and only a bit of gap along the waist band. I want another pair.

Ooooh, I like that jacket. But your boots look WAY too clean!

This might be my favorite outfit of yours to date! And you are getting SKINNY!

Yeah they do!!!

I’m enjoying the whole 90s fashion coming back thing. Finally my love of combat boots with dresses is appreciated! This dress is borrowed from my cousin. It’s a bit too small on her now, and I’m hoping it comes my way more permanently. It has cats all over it.

Great pic!

I was in size 3x, or 26/28, and had some very nice business casual clothes. It’s tough for people that size to find decent quality, cute clothing, and I wanted to gift it to someone. I would do a purge every month or so, and give away more (mostly though a gift economy FB group). I also gave some to a colleague. I love seeing her get use out of it. I bought from thrift stores while I was losing, I considered it more like renting clothes than buying, and donated it back out when I shrank out of it. Like MsSSS, I had bins of clothes that I was pulling from as I shrank, until I got down below XLs and 1x’s, that is. Getting below that size was unchartered territory for me. I really hate wearing baggy clothes. I’m now a size 10-12. I JUST went through my closet today and have a couple of new bags to donate. I tried everything on, and it it’s too big, it’s out. Admittedly it’s because closet space is precious now 😂

I have 1/2 a gummy at bedtime and wake up far more rested. Somehow I don’t think I’m slipping into addiction 😂 Smoking it I can’t speak to, but I’ve had no ill effects from my regular ingestion of small amounts. I didn’t start doing this until it became legal here, and it honestly baffles me that it was ever illegal. It doesn’t really do much for me other than help me sleep. My surgeon’s office didn’t test.

It’s cold here today 😞 I went with a lot of white today, and it needs to make it through a long work day. We’ll just see how this goes 😂

Here was my yesterday OODT. I was hanging a show at the Uni gallery all day. I have to say, I am a bit disappointed in my beloved overalls. I found out the hard way that though the pockets are indeed awesome for nails/screws/tape measures, they lack a hammer loop. I’m seriously considering adding one. Also, please note the tape stuck to my stomach. I think it adds that bit of flair that the outfit needed.

What a great, casual outfit!

Hmmmm, was this one of your Amazon finds? Because I am sorely lacking in spring/summer appropriate clothing

Yep, weeks 3-5 were pretty uncomfortable.

I love those belts, and look forward to being able to start a nice collection once my weight stabilizes! Thank you for the link.

My shirt is not wacky, but my shoes are mesh combat boots, so can I get credit for that?

I had to give 2 lightning talks and lead an activity for pro-staff today, so I went with a slight artsy-fartsy edge.

Off topic - I also got a new foster family last night. Mama kitty is SO SWEET! I think she’s pretty young, too, poor girl. There are 3 babies. okay, back to our regular programming...
