I usually don’t share on this page because I rarely have left overs as I’m usually quite careful to serve or order small portions. However, we are on holidays in Hawaii at the moment and even the ‘small’ serves are massive. This was a short stack of guava chiffon pancakes, after my husband and son had some too!!

Share anyway. We just enjoy pictures of food 😁😁.
I never post an after pxt always before … unless I get halfway through before I remember to take a pxt.
Those pancakes look delicious.

Went to a Peruvian/Japanese fusion rooftop restaurant yesterday for lunch. (Not the best day but interesting views over the city.) I wondered how the fusion would work but it did. Still very obvious Japanese or Peruvian foods but a sharing of some styles. Like a bao bun with a Peruvian filling. I can’t eat spicy foods so shared some edamame to begin & had parmesan & garlic scallops (sorry no pxts) & sesame crusted tuna. I about half the tuna, the two scallops & probably too many edamame 😁. All very yummy.

Weird salad addition alert- romaine, spicy peanuts, chicken thigh, mandarin orange, sesame ginger dressing, and… roasted red potatoes.

I’ve been really bad about cooking lately, but I’m just back from vacation and did some meal prep. Baked sweet potato topped with ground Turkey with onion, garlic, Tomato paste, beef broth, peas, carrots, and mushrooms. From the Skinny Taste website.

I made cookies! 😍 chocolate orange shortbread with a dark chocolate orange ganache, almond Cookies, and ultimate chocolate chip (3 kinds of chips) cookies.

A scratch made blueberry cheesecake pop tart during a recent trip. It looked great but unfortunately I didn’t sample it because I didn’t want the consequences, but it gave me ideas for making my own low sugar version one day.

I've gone from 26/28 to 12/14 and 3xl/4xl to large. I think I want to lose around 10-15 more pounds but I'm pretty content right now.

October 2023 will mark my 10 years sleeve anniversary. 🙏🏻🙌🏻👏🏻
I am going to be 53 April 2023 and I’ve never felt or looked better in my life!!
This was ONE OF THE BEST decisions I ever made for ME!
I did my first fitness competition last year and took second place in the Transformations Category.
Nothing is “Impossible” the word itself tells you “I’m possible”!

I'm 4 months post op sleeve and have lost 53 pounds so far. Started at 205 and am currently 152. I'm only 5'0 tall so I still have around 30 pounds to go.

Almost 100lb lost between the two pictures.

Keep showing up and putting in the word it's not easy but it's so worth it. You can tell when I started lifting. The last 4 pictures are the last 4 months.      

OK so here is a before and after from me... I am 6 months out and 100+ pounds down. I think the biggest surprise for me is realizing I didn't have a neck before. I just had chins...My glasses are actually getting comically big for my face.
