Lynda486 reacted to Arabesque in OOTD
Your hair cut is lovely @Lynda486 I’m jealous. I’d love to have those gorgeous waves of yours. I have to sleep in plaits or twists like Ms.SSS did to get any kinks in mine. Sigh.
Lookin’ hot @JMJames92.
Spent two days Mother of the Bride dress shopping with a a girlfriend whose daughter is getting married in about 8 weeks. (The wedding was postponed from September last year - thanks COVID.) Oh my God. So difficult to find something that’s not boringly conservative or too young, shirt or revealing that still has a soft beach’s vibe. It’s a beach wedding on a island resort of the coast of Queensland. Think @MarvelGirl25 is on to the right idea with eloping. I haven’t offered to go shoe shopping with my friend though I did find some pretty sandals with brushed gold & silver straps with a touch of fuschia online that might work with the dress.
We ended up choosing this dress. I think we did pretty well.

Lynda486 got a reaction from GreenTealael in Some Surprises I didn't expect with WLS
I am constantly cold, I dress in layers now.
It is so much easier to do everything!
My husband says I am too boney, my hip bones stick out and my spine.
I am shocked when I look in the mirror and sometimes find myself staring at myself saying who is that?
My wrinkle (y) skin drives me crazy!
I feel pretty darn good!

I think I am going to go with what someone else said in a earlier post and just say I am on a medically supervised diet. I don’t want the drama that goes along with people in my business. I also don’t feel the need to share my medical info with everyone I know.

Lynda486 reacted to BayougirlMrsS in Hurtful reactions to progress
I had a lot of the same when i had the band SX..... This is why i didn't tell anyone about the sleeve.
When she asks... and she will... change the subject, or pretend you didn't hear her. If she insists... tell her, I'm doing great, thanks for noticing.
You could also use her against herself..... Tell her the "story" about someone in your support group that has a "person" that told them what your mom said..... and end it with, Can you believe someone could be that jealous...
I had to do that with my X husband.

I haven't been here for a bit, since my son committed suicide on Oct. 9th. I wonder if there is anyone here that can relate to a loss like this?
Thanks,

Lynda486 got a reaction from Jewelleej in Too much weight losd
I get told by friends and co workers that I shouldn't lose any more weight. I started a new job in July and went out and bought new size medium clothes and now I am in a small.

Thank you for your prayers 💗
I understand about you feeling guilt. I feel guilty still about my son's death and think that somehow I should have prevented it. He hadn't been well, but went to Asia for an extended trip and died while there - I "knew" if you see what I mean that he wasn't really well enough to go but didn't talk him out of going. I could have persuaded him not to go I think and he wouldn't have died - so I blame myself for not listening to my "inner voice".
As a parent it's hard not to feel guilty if your child dies. It's such an unnatural thing that a child dies before their parent. It's very hard because our sons & husbands so often don't talk about their pain - mental or physical; they hide it from us.
Do you have other children?

Lynda486 got a reaction from danahall5885 in Exercise for loose skin
I have been feeling pretty good about how I have done with my weight loss. That is until this past week when my husband and my son separately told me that I need to do something about my loose skin. That it looks bad and I need to tighten it up. I have loose skin on my upper arms, thighs and a bit on my upper calves. Are there any exercises that you all have done that are effective in tightening these areas up? I have started with some light dumb bells for my arms, but am clueless as far as my legs go. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Thank-you all for your uplifting and supportive comments. I am 55 so myself I don't care what the world thinks. It was hurtful to hear it, because I know there is nothing I can do about it, but they keep cheering me on. I have starting to lose weight again, but at a much slower rate. So maybe that will help future issues. Again thanks to all of you, you are my biggest supporters!
