    jacileggs got a reaction from SacMary in Experiences with Phentermine?   
    I took it about 17 years ago. Worked amazingly. But then I got pregnant again and divorced and I gained back a huge amount. Finally had surgery this January. No more ups and downs for me.

    jacileggs got a reaction from Hipigrl in You know you lost weight when   
    A woman came into our office. She went over to my co-worker and said. "I see you have a new girl here"
    She laughed and said. "No that's Jaci, she lost a lot of weight". The woman didn't believe her. Lol. I've worked there for almost 14 years. The woman was embarrassed and said it was that my hair looked different. My hair was in a ponytail, which it often is. This honestly made my day.

    jacileggs got a reaction from elean2331 in What did your breast's do?   
    I didn't have big boobs for my size before. Went from a 40d to a 34b. I could probably roll em up and stuff em in my bra. The b cup is big. So sad. The weight loss have exaggerated my uneven size so I'm looking at a lift with implants to even things out.

    I am 4 months out and lost slowly since the start. But it's still coming off. Slowly but surely. That's what is important. It took me years to get the size I was so I'm okay with it being slow.

    jacileggs got a reaction from tnl1031 in Pseudo tumor diagnosis   
    I was diagnosed with pseudo tumour cerebri about five or six years ago. I felt humiliated because You know your fat when the eye doctor tells you to lose weight. It always worsened with my weight gain and improved with any losses. I am now 145 lbs at 5"3'. No more symptoms. It has completely resolved. I had gastric bypass jan 2013.

    jacileggs got a reaction from justajackie in Accepting yourself loose skin and all!   
    This is a controversial topic. I am 1year post op and have lost 105lbs. I have an upcoming consult for skin removal surgery. If I can get it covered by my health care plan I will have it done. If not I will likely have it done anyways. It will just take a bit longer for me to save up the money. I don't have a massive overhang or anything. But my skin is very loose and majorly wrinkly. I have been single for 16 years. I have recently found my self esteem and started dating again. Nothing serious but I'm letting that be a possibility in my life. I am not comfortable with seeing my tummy myself never mind have someone else see it. So for me it is the choice I am making. For others it may not be an issue. What I love though is that this site is a supportive place for us all. No matter our choices we have supportive people in our corners, which we don't all have in our day to day lives.

    I don't believe people are actually asking for our take on their fashion choices. They are asking how their body looks in general. And they have worked hard. So yes. I will tell them they look great. Because compared to how we looked before it's definitely true even if you don't approve of their outfit.

    Love this thread. Cracks me up. Personally I haven't had sex for a decade. Yikes. Single and haven't been interested in dating. I'm sure that will change as my self esteem grows.
