It's the Little Things that help!



Recommended Posts

I'm 12 weeks post. I've been struggling with the thought that my weight loss will stop and i'll never get to the weight i want. But every once in awhile i notice something, like your pants legs getting a bit loser, not popping any buttons on my shirt. Well i had to share my eye opening experience this morning that made me feel so wonderful about my new journey. It's funny, but i was taking a shower letting the hot Water hit my back, i felt like something was out of place and i just couldnt figure it out. So i stood there staring at the wall and realized that my elbows were touching my side. I can't remember when the last time i was able to do that. I finally lost enough weight from my arms that they can lay flat against my body. Like i said it's the Little Things that help me thru this.

My epiphany moment was last week when i was walking at work and my pant legs were rubbing at my ankles.. I dont think they hve been that close in about 24 years.

Man, I love this non-scale arms touching sides victory.

Such a cool discovery.

Thank you everyone, I can't wait to get weighed on the 20th. I haven't gotten on the scale in over a month. :)

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
