That’s sounds a perfect job for you @Dtrain84 as it ties into your previous career as a police officer.




What a lovely photo of you & your daughter @kristieshannon. Her lace dress is so pretty. And I agree - you do look alike.




Had another visit with the hand therapy place today & decided to wear this slim fit panelled dress with cowl neckline & pouch at the hem. Skirt is very fitted though the hem restricting my stride so I had a real wriggle walk happening as I strutted down the street 😆 It was 5 weeks yesterday since I decided to add extra Protein to my quiche busy slicing a chunk off my thumb & it’s just about fully healed now (was still oozing a little from one spot until yesterday). Just dealing with some hypersensitivity & dry peeling skin. You can just see a faint line from the skin graft. I was so excited last week as I was finally able to put on a real bra for the first time - I just couldn’t do the hooks up before then without causing my thumb pain & discomfort. Such a silly little thing but boy you need your thumb for soooo much.

Love this dress! It makes you look very tall & slender. Glad your thumb is healing well!

Absolutely gorgeous! I love the dress, it is so classic and detailed perfectly and the color is just right. I also love the color mirroring in the landscape and your dress landscape. Your daughter looks just like you right down to the cupid’s bow 😍


Thank you!
It was a lovely day, and the clouds surrounding Mt. Si made for a dramatic backdrop for photos.

Yes. My former career will help me transition into this job hopefully without a lot of training.

That looks like it hurt a lot when you first cut it. I'm glad you're healing well. You look amazing in that dress.

@kristieshannon: I'll say it again: MILF. That dress is PERFECT on you....wear it every day. With your hair just like that. And that lipstick. 😍

@Arabesque: Yep, you def look taller in that frock! Love it. P.S. glad the thumb is on the mend and you can now wear real bras!

Very nice indeed @kristieshannon. And I’m not stunned it’s a size 4. You’re very slim. How did the date go?




Congrats on the new job, @Dtrain84. What does it entail?



Bought this rib knit skirt & top back in winter & finally wore it last week. And surplus it’s navy! The skirt has one of those sneaky high splits that you don’t notice until you sit down & hello. It’s actually higher than the 2nd pxt shows - reaches to a couple of inches below the knicker line.

The perfect opportunity to go do more shopping! Right? You definitely need an animal print in your wardrobe, ms.sss!!! This was the dress back when I was still losing at 135 pd - size 10/12. Have not done arm surgery yet. The skirt is at settled 118 - size 4/6.




Animal print shoes count too, for the fashion show! Fun.

Sexy librarian - I love it @ms.sss

And your moto jacket looks great with your animal print dress @GreenTealael & so talented to have made your dress too.

No animal print clothing but shoes I can do. Lol! Will these count?

Had some slim leg, mid thigh shorts on today actually @ms.sss. Went to take a photo after I visited my little nieces & nephews & realised that wearing white shirts to visit people with 8 dogs is not a good idea. My white shirts are covered in dog drool & dog dirt. Thank gracious for napisan! 😂😂😂

THEY COUNT! Love the zebra rendition and heel detailing - Gorgeous!

A subset of my latest online shopping delivery. Yes, I have a clothes shopping problem!


L-R: grey wide leg cargo jeans; printed lantern sleeve dress with smocked waist; beige cami w/ high-waisted denim skirt; blue oxford top under high waist pencil skirt with removable straps...I really like this skirt but it is way too big (i'm holding the excess material in the back). This is the smallest size already so I'm contemplating if I should have it altered or just return it....

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
