  1. Liz I think of this as a marathon. Not a sprint. Have Long term faith and keep on eating well and doing what you can to move your body. Best of luck!
  2. Great job. Slow and steady down. Beats slow and steady up like before right? Keep on
  3. I try to not have diet sodas. I'm just not sure they have any redeeming value. I used to really like them pre op. trying to do better for my old body. Vodka cranberry. Now that I can do occasionally
  4. Isn't it amazing you can feel better when you are older? 40-50 were much better than lousy period of bad weight and bad husband of 30's. so happy ❤???‰
  5. Love blurred lines. (No remix)." Happy" from despicable me now latest Sheryl crow. Always looking for kick ass music. Even "can't touch this". MC. "Super freak" Rick James. I get tired of the same songs so I'm open to other stuff Ps I'm almost 60 so some of the Red book magazine best work out songs were a Big No thanks
  6. Golly. I don't see many from central California area. SF/San Jose Wonder where they are?
  7. I agree that people don't pay much attention to what YOU eat. So long as you don't advertise your food ,surgery,weight loss etc. you would be surprised. I kept saying. I work out a lot (true) I'm really trying. (Almost always true) my stomach is fussy (really true). Often not saying anything was best
  8. Tofu. Hard boiled eggs. Jerky. Yogurt. Protein bars. Cottage cheese. String cheese. Almost 7 years and those are my Go to foods. Best of luck. Keep us updated❤???´
  9. Go for it with the wax. I think anything you can do to give to yourself is a treat.
  10. My doc says liquid. Yogurt type good for 2 days.it often helps but is hard to live with dilation. Especially. On a very long term. Any others have helpful hints?.
  11. To tell. And congrats on your success.!! A bakery would be hard for some of us to work in. (And smell) you worked hard. And continue to do so.
  12. It is personal to tell or not. Isn't it? People do notice if you have lost a considerable amount. Sometimes I Reply "I had a lot of help". Most don't query further. Close friends know. I've stayed close to the same weight range for over 6 yrs so I don't feel needy about discussing it. I think that happens more at the beginning of the journey
  13. Congrats. Seems like the world is made for 100-199 lb people often doesn't it. ? I know it helped my head to feel that weight. And made moving around in this world easier
  14. I think a good bra is super important. A little "lift"for the big girls helps Hard to set time aside to try on many tho And panties that's match What a bonus❤
  15. Thanks for the Info. Always looking for nutritious sites and help
  16. Good luck. It is hard to figure out who to tell. You can always reveal later. But can't take it back. Watch out for people who gossip is the only thing I'm careful of. 6+ years and lots don't know for me
  17. Good luck with your dr. And maybe a group support he sounds good
