I had 2 oatmeal raisin cookies at the grocery today...they were giving them away for free! I couldn't say no! Well, actually I could have, I just chose not to. On the bright side I got 2 bags of romaine hearts (that's 10 hearts)! and 2 boxes of spinach from Costco this afternoon. YAY!! ---------------------------------------- 9:00am - coffee w/ stevia 11:00am - 3/4 cup coconut-lime sweet potato curry + cucumber toast (keto bread roll + 1.5 tbsp cream cheese + sliced cucumber) 2:30pm - avocado smoothie (1 avocado + monk fruit sweetener + 1 cup almond milk) 4:30pm - 2 oatmeal raisin cookies 8:30pm - salad greens w/ vinaigrette + 5 green grapes + 1 fl oz pumpkin seeds + 1/4 cup seaweed salad + 6oz assorted sashimi + 1 tbsp tamari + 1/4 tsp wasabi Totals: 1314 cals - 62g Protein - 111g NET carbs - 60g fat

Here's mine:

Oh, how I LOVE jaw-dropping Before and Afters. You are super FINE, @Healthy_life2

*wolf-whistles* (in a very polite and respectful way, lol)

Yeah, too bad MSG is so very yum and so very not-so-healthy at the same time.

The patty is really just 50g of corned beef from a can mixed with some chinese five spice, corriander then formed and griddled in sesame oil. The crunchy garlic chili oil is a fave in my house. We used to get only get it a couple times a year when my sister would visit from NYC and she would bring some for us from some store near her work. I couldn't google to try find local sellers because there was nothing (english) I could read on the packaging to Google! I didn't even know what it was called. Then by chance I found it on a shelf in an Asian store here WITH an English stick-on label so I could actually find out what was in it, LOL. Here is a pic of it with the English label (it's a little hard to read, even in person, lol). It really is delicious and the Kid likes to "put that sh*t on EVERYTHING".

You look amazing! Great Job!!!!

😳 Wow. Just wow.

Arm lift and Breast Lift/Side Boob Skin removal in 2 weeks! Looks like we are going to be in recovery at the same time (...along with @sillykitty ! )

Wow...you are healing really nicely. The part of the incision closer to your elbow is already fading! It's been like a week! P.S. Your arm is tiny!

Looks like I'm currently on a (shiratake) noodle soup phase cuz my fridge is still salad-greens-less. One of yesterday's meals: shiratake noodles + dashi broth + pea shoots + corned beef patty + crunchy garlic oil 217 cals - 16g protein - 5g NET carbs - 14g fat Ate it all

I actually find the opposite...they are soooooo filling that I end up eating less for that day overall, leading to losses if I eat them over extended period of time 🤷🏼‍♀️

hmmmm...it may be your mirror...perhaps it has a bit of fun-house squashiness accidentally built into it. Do you have another mirror at home to compare? because yeah, you look much smaller looking in the Andy picture...

@shanza's back...yay! ❤️ ...and still looking 10 feet tall and fabulous.

Yesterday, Monday, Dec. 2 Maintenance : 5'2" / 1yr PO Sleeve / 115.3 lbs Am going through salad withdrawal...I need to get to Costco and buy some bulk greens STAT. And some chicken breasts... 8:30am - coffee w/ stevia + earl grey tea w/ stevia 1:00pm - Shiratake noodles w/ Dashi broth + pea shoots + 2 oz corned beef + crunchy garlic chili oil 3:00pm - 1 cup greek yogurt + 1.5 fl oz pumpkin seeds + 1/2 oz almonds + coffee w/ stevia 7:30pm - Shiratake noodles + 1 cup coconut-lime chicken sweet potato curry + fried onions + cashews Totals: 906 cals - 56g Protein - 53g NET carbs - 44g fat

@Sophie7713, holy smokers! I had to zoom in to recognize you in your before picture! You have come a long way, lady...sooooooo awesome ❤️ and @FluffyChix...is it me, or are you are looking skinnier? That red jacket is very flattering on you...makes you look so tall!

When you can't have too much of a good thing...I count 4 now of this top in various colours. Do we get to see more?!?

I didn't get very sick (just mild to moderate ickiness) , AND a very through bathroom elimination around 11pm, LOL. I think it is because I was grazing with the sugar stuffs all night over several hours vs. eating it all at once. If I had eaten all that junk in a smaller time window, for sure I would've been on the floor.

I actually consider it a win that I logged 16. I know for sure that if I didn't log each and ever single one that I popped in my mouth throughout the night, I would have eaten much, much, much more than 16. As for the sleep, I've always been a go-to-bed late person for as long as I remember. Though as I've gotten older, I've also become a get-up-early person...which results in very little sleep overall. ...it helps though that I mostly work from home, so I don't need to be too alert all the time, LOL.

I know right?!?!?

Maybe pair of heels will help? (in RED!) Btw, LOOOVE the denim jacket!!!!!

Yeah, I wasn't wearing a bra or anything so the girls were just hanging around down there, LOL. Plus that last dress was like a size 6 and was way too big for me...you can't see them in the pic, but there are a bunch of heavy-duty clamps holding the dress up and closed in the back. I wanna go back and put it on again and prance around the salon...

Yesterday, Sunday, Dec. 1 Maintenance : 5'2" / 1yr PO Sleeve / 116.3 lbs **** Xmas party season has officially begun. Had an indulgent Saturday (client holiday party) and an even more indulgent Sunday (family bday lunch then had a Friends-mas at BFF's place as she and her fam are leaving for vacay next week. Spoiler alert: I was taken down by desserts and alcohol this weekend. And I am being punished for it by feeling like absolute CRAP this morning: sluggish, tired, cranky, crampy, bloated, and unbelievably thirsty. It's only 11:30am and I've drank over 2 litres of water already (plus 1 coffeee & cup of broth). Oh, and the scale says I've gained 2.9 lbs since Friday. I'd love to say its all poop, but I had a total-intestine-clearing number 2 yesterday as a result of too many Italian almond cookies, so that's definitely not it. Anyhoo...I'm enacting a weekday dessert embargo for the remainder of the month to balance out the inevitable dessert eating on weekends. **** 8:30am - coffee w/ stevia + tea w/ stevia 1:30pm - 1/2 side caesar salad sans croutons + 1/2 side goat cheese and beet salad + 1 slice Lemon Curd Cake + 2 glasses red wine 3:00pm - 1 slice Lemon Curd Cake + 1 cup greek yogurt + 10 blueberries + 5 green grapes + 1.5 oz almonds 6:00pm to 2:00am - 6 oysters on half shell 5 oz prime rib w/ gravy 1 cup spring mix salad w/ strawberries, goat cheese & candied walnuts 16 mini Italian almond cookies 3 mini biscotti 10 dark chocolate covered coffee beans 1 oz candied ginger 2 HUGE pistachio cannolis 4 glasses red wine Totals: 3574 cals - 123g Protein - 301g NET carbs - 186g fat

I have a tiny one on my hip and it looks the same as before. But like the poster above, this skin on this area of my body was largely unaffected by the weight loss (i.e., didn't end up with loose/excess skin there). If it was on my tricep or butt cheek though, that would probably be another story...

Do you find that your clothes are fitting you differently now?
