Oh my gosh. It is so frustrating. I haven’t been on in 2 days. I just now went through the website to get on.


Yeah, if it wasn’t for my pad, I’d be offline on this site for now.
I mean I don’t understand how anyone navigates the website. I can’t seem to find anything and it was taking me forever.
*sigh

BTW, I love that outfit! Looks like you’ve lost inches even if the scale shows the same weight

Omg! I KNOW!!! My preciouses! *snort* And to add insult, they shaved a 1 1/2 in crop circle in mine on Friday. So it's even more "special." ha!

Yeah you are right...though there have been days in the past couple months where I definitely achieved a calorie surplus, they may not have been often enough (and the surplus calories were not of the good kind). And in all honesty, I probably don't do enough effective butt exercises anyway, I'm like mad when I'm doing them.

But yes, so long as my saggy butt jiggles in the wind (or I get butt implants), I'll keep doing these effing squats, leg lifts and butt-bridges. Can't hurt. But I won't be happy about it.

Yeah, they are no fun. I’m doing Strong Curves, by Brett Contreras. So many glute bridges :( But, honestly, right now it’s a race to see if I lose my tummy before my butt. I have no idea. They are both doing that loose/jiggly fat thing that happens as the fat cells loosen up. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m in unchartered territory right now as far as my weight is concerned. I honestly have zero clue about how my body will look at the end. Right now I’m not excited about more surgery (plastics), but I’m open to it. We’ll just see how this goes.

Yup same boat here.
All of my fat everywhere is really super squishy where it used to be hard as a rock.
In some areas it’s hard to tell the difference between fat and skin. (I’m looking at you upper arms!).

Happy Monday!!! I’m in desperate need of a double shot latte this morning. That’s the first thing to do once I get to town before work. I hope you all have a great week. We have a chance of rain today, so it’s boot weather.

Happy Fall! Look forward to the cooler season approaching of fun jackets, jeans and layers in all new sizes. Here's two new outfits. Business meet past Friday, and brunch on Sunday. Wishing I could borrow a few inches from everyone or do you think one of those medieval stretchers might work!? Frustrated to see obesity written in summary notes of a new knee surgeon I saw last week for injured knee. ;\ I loath that in my medical charts! Working diligently toward my final goal and a normal range BMI which is 25 pounds away. Saddened to see the general medical community continues to evaluate solely upon - and defines their patients by possibly antiquated and simplistic charts? No doubt, as ms.sss says our wrinkled fabric (love that description!) aka. loose skin certainly adds a few extra pounds? Any thoughts here? I took my jacket off here for your eyes only... as my upper arms feel like they could weigh a pound each? Not to mention, the tummy, rear and thigh wrinkled fabric. I wonder after major plastics - if anyone has experienced a natural reduction in weight after excess skin removed? Seems logical.

Everyone looks so nice! I’m looking forward to cool weather, it’s been mild here so far.

Baby steps, no navy blue in my shirt today.

This outfit is so flattering on you! Love it!!! Is it a top and skirt? I found the gold leather jacket at a consignment shoppe. I could hardly believe the sleeves were not too long and it fit perfectly. A classic. Should work well with blue jeans, too.

      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.
