14 Months Out and Counting!

Hello All! I hope this post finds everyone doing well. Just a brief note to help those in their journey. I'm 5'3.75" I've always been a thicker girl and packed on the pounds a few years ago due to some antidepressants I was on. I had the sleeve and have done my best to follow all the rules and use the tool as an opportunity for an overall lifestyle change. I've lost approximately 90 pounds. But I still felt "FAT" at times. I love my new body but felt there were problem areas I could target to lose more weight. I did notice, however, my rib cage, hip bone and collar bone were starting to be quite pronounced. It has never been my goal to be "skinny". I just want to be healthy and fit. So I did a little research and found these charts that helped me gain perspective. I am actually, scientifically large framed aka Big Boned. Which I found rather hilarious but it's true. And I am actually at a normal body weight! Which was news to me. For any frustrated losers out there, do the measurements and verify this BEFORE you drive yourself insane. Lol.

You look so great! Thanks for the charts. I'd see them before and def using as I have a large frame so my goal is more realistic. Nice thread.

There has always been truth about whether a person is small, medium, and large framed. You can find a measurement scale to find out for yourself on the web. I recently found out that I am medium framed when all along I thought I was 'big boned' HA! Same as you, I don't want to be skinny, I like curves, so the chart says I should be around 165-170 at my frame and I'll be happy around 180-185.

You do look absolutely fabulous!

Thank you all! I'm very thankful for my tool and the fact that I don't have a ton if excess skin. Just wish I could make my tummy and thigh flab magically disappear. Lmao. Oh well perhaps I'll hit the lotto and be able to afford plastics.

Sorry, I was too distracted by that outfit you're wearing that I forgot all about the numbers. :blush:

I wanna wear one of those someday and parade around somewhere!

You look terrific, congratulations!

      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.
