Everyone looks fabulous! Awesome job!!

Wow!!!!! You look gorgeous!

There was a thread on VST of people being re sleeved I read through. Most had to have sleeves reworked because they were not given correct shape originally and developed abscesses at top of stomach or too much of stretchy part of stomach remained and sleeved stretched out.

Over time, your brain "somewhat" catches up! . At 3 1/2 years, I still tend to buy too big clothes or look at something and say, "that will NEVER fit" only to find it's too big! Our poor brains can't "see" ourselves at reality!

It's so much fun now. There are always bargains! Ha! And I find WAYYYY too many of them. I now have ANOTHER closet full of L And XL regular size sweaters and size 12 skirts all way too big. I have taken up many skirts since I am a master at zipping down the side of a straight skirt in a hurry! Ha!!

CGJ, and THAT is exactly why I am afraid! LOL. FALLING off the ski lift. Hee hee. I admire your tenacity. Too old and skeered!

Yep. Another of my addictions. Lol. Shopping.

In the past, I have given lots of expensive clothes to people who wanted them and never saw them worn. I did give a whole carload to a rehab/thrift store and they were very happy to get them This time I took I took all my clothes to this nice resale shop we have locally. Let me tell you, I made almost a thousand bucks over a period of 4 months!!! Expensive, plus size clothes are snatched up quickly!!!!

Okay, it's 6:35 and I'm at 505 and forcing myself to say it's done!!! Hoping I can stick to it. . I want to eat carbs/sugar!!!! Did good all day. Was hungry but made it but when I got home, well... I did give in and eat a no bake oatmeal cookie made with Truvia. ONE.

Sorta like the movie "twins" with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny Devito!!! Ha!

Umm??!!

13/15. Missed "actual body/blood" and Hindu something. .

You can only fail if you want to fail. VSG isn't a magic bullet like you said but it's pretty close!! lol. At least for me it was! I've lost 110 pounds and 3 1/2 years out. Still have great restriction and feel that I can truly stay slim and healthy IF I make the right food choices 90%+ of the time. I did regain about 27 pounds at around 3 years because of too many slider, junk foods. Got myself in line, found a good lifestyle for me (5:2( and lost the 27 PLUS additional 10. As Phil says, "happy, happy happy!" You can and WILL be a success!

Good thoughts coming your way. Sounds like gas to me too.

Bahahaha! I hope you didn't USE the knives on him!

Cathy, got tickled at the weight comment for drivers license! I see Ms Skinniness "Liking" a lot of posts. How are you? Swizzly, Globe and Brown and Chimera, are y'all okay???

Umm, yes, I would like to know that also. Hosts maybe?

The box of chocolates is the best so far!!! Lol

That's great! And the trick/plan will definitely be learning as you go skills to keep you eating well.

Way to go, Coops,new low At Christmas!!!

Sarsar, I know just what you mean. As we have all kinda hinted at, Life never stands still and constantly evolves and changes and we have to manage to keep up! As Kim said, that pic will be a treasure later and your kids and THEIR kids will pull them out and laugh while you smile and try to keep the tears from running down your face like a sop! Yep, as you can tell, I've done it! Precious!!!!!! Weight- I am going to fast today if it kills me! I am truly on carb overload!! And the old sugar craving is trying to settle in! Up a couple pounds that had to end today!! Going to San Antonio next Wed to see my sister and family. A 10 hour drive and taking two grands with us. Also have one more party Sat! So I've got to kill this craving now! Good luck to all who are fasting! And as I USED to say, Keep your double chin up! We Don't have double chins anymore! Now THATS something to be happy about!!!

Wow, Daisy! That is really hard! 35 is just barely BEGINNING to know who you are! I have a dear friend, probably my BFF of all, who lost her hubs at 27 with two all children. Waited a long time, remarried a nice guy who took her savings and cheated on her! He left her for a richer woman and now she is "married" to her SS she tells me! Hahaha! Said the only one she can COUNT ON! Hope your "string" turns for the better starting today!

I did! For 30 years! Ha!

^^^^ all that. AWESOME!

Oh YES!! L And not XL or XXL. Major NSV!
