LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Hi Jeelena, first off... YOU LOOK FABULOUS!!! Congratulations! You had such a pretty smile then, and now - It simply radiates. You are stunning in your new gown. Nice arms, too. Thank you for sharing your process and specifics with us. Inspiring. I, too, have accumulated a lot of loose skin on my upper arms (¾ sleeves are a God send!) and very sagging breasts (another God send - a great supportive bra!) LOL!!! Wearing a size petite 8 or 10 jeans (2-3X before) but the mid-section droop does get in the way. The slight stretch in new generation slack/jean fabrics does help hold it all in!!! Petite medium to small tops with a 38C from 40DD. Experimenting with body foundations for the first time for wearing dresses. I rarely wore a dress before. I plan to start preparing, saving$ and interviewing plastic surgeons for a tummy tuck, hopefully before my 25th anniversary vow renewal + gala next May. I want this defined waist for my gown design below. :] I have not tried Pilates yet. I must follow-up on your recommendation for it as a new exercise routine. Actually, loved water aerobics even hovering at my highest of 298. Oh boy. Remained pretty active + happy despite all the weight and baggage I carried. For now, I walk with my dog and remain very active with work. I am meeting with a physical therapist next week to review my back posture, gate and balance before starting any formal exercise. Adhering mostly to The Obesity Code way of nutrition. 80-100oz.+ of water or hot tea per day. Add propel and Isopure. 21 pounds until my final goal BUT others who have already had plastics say 5 - 8 pounds can be attributed to the weight of loose skin. Factoring that in, I'm only 16 pounds to goal. LOL. Probably as a petite 5'0" and shrinking with age (turned 60 past May) - losing too much weight, not really. Some research says I should weigh 105 - 112. Will cross that bridge when and if I get there. Jeelena, how are you finding maintenance? Are you still losing? Keep up your wonderful achievement. Sending posies in way of celebration with you! ;]

Oh Louise, Congratulations!!!! Getting our sleeves was truly a major game changer right!? Send us a snap shot of the new you! Here I am with my wire fox terrier, Bobby. I am definitely enjoying much longer walks and adventures with him! I'm 21 pounds from my goal. Love The Obesity Code by Jason Fung, MD and look forward to his new cookbook coming out. How are you maintaining besides exercise? Is your hunger back? So very happy for you. Wow. ;]

I didn't realize you have hit your goal! Congratulations!!!! Now if all you ladies over 5' 6" would lend me just a ½"... I'd be at goal too! Haha. You are looking FABULOUS!

We've missed you! Happy Fall, ms.sss...

Wow. I'm breathless... you look simply exquisite (trying to find another word than just using amazing all the time, BUT that too!), Silly Kitty! The belt and shoes perfecto. Think it's time to introduce the meow to my dentist!!! ;]

New top and slacks. My very first all synthetic outfit. Use to avoid them due to the cling. So excited to have arrived in the 40's this weekend! Wahoo!

GORGEOUS, AMAZING outfit! So creative, colorful and happy. I remember body suits back in 8th grade... Can you believe their back again!!!? Hope you'll take in the skirt. Definitely a keeper. What a beautiful new figure - you must be over-the-moon in body suits! ;]

OH soooo glamorous... You wear it well! ;]

Many many congrats!!! You are getting so close to your desired goal. Happy Fall, too! Maybe treat yourself to a great pair of Autumn boots this season?... And, definitely strut your stuff! So happy for you. Thanks for updating us.

Hooray! Yeah, extra room. How exciting. Think I can wear boots in South Florida? Maybe come January a test run up the calves...

It's official. Size medium top with medium capri's for errand day. Have the same exact comfy pieces in size small waiting in closest for their grand finale (22ish pounds away) and counting. Santa baby, won't you buy me a sable in size small...

This dress line is amazing on you - not to mention, the color purple. Looking FAB down under! ;] I understand the neck thing... that's the one area I may seek plastics on. The rest (arms, tummy, thighs) to chicken! Bawk! Bawk! Bawk!

LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT! One of your best outfits to date... AngieBear. Will you introduce me to your cousins? ;]

Just stunning! Look at all those pretty curves! Snake skin slacks really cool...

Really COOL jacket.

I mix Isopure flavors with propel in 20 ounce recycled water bottles to get in my daily protein. Love my weight loss results (106 off with 23 pounds to go...) but really don't enjoy eating that much especially, meat or fish. Exploring vegan cookbooks, recipes and other sources of protein for sustenance long term. Wish we could get our group sharing again.

Picked-up my new Fabulous Fanny brand prescription sun glasses Saturday. Use to wearing clips on my glasses - thought I'd treat myself to these for 105 pounds lost. Sunday in comfy cotton/linen casuals.

Could we have anymore GORGEOUS LEGS! Here's to Octoberfest!

My sign would say - Cuban sandwiches or hot roast beef sandwiches!!!

SOOO excited to see you in dress blue jeans! Really nice look on you! Your jeans could be dressed up or down. Lot's of variety...

I like it tucked in!

GORGEOUS! Love you in form fitting things and your hairstyle here is a stunning look for you!!!

Love this dress on you... And, such wonderfully toned arms to boot.

You have a keen eye (no pun intended) for great eye ware! Just last Saturday - I ordered my first pair of prescription sunglasses! Used the clip ons in the past. So excited... they're reminiscent of the 1950's styling.
