@@jatherley You can look up corset training on you tube. No you don't wear it forever. You go to the waist size you want. I have seen some freakishly small 15 inch waistlines....I'm going for proportionate.

Yes I use orchard corset..im not representing them..lol. if you do some searching on the web there are more retailers just make sure its a steel boned corset. On orchards web site They have videos to help you measure for a corset. Once you have that. You can consult with them off the website or on the phone to get the size and best corset model for your body.

It wont make excess skin go away. It is a steel boned corset. It does move your rib cage in. It distributes your body fat to your hips and bust. Making a smaller natural waistline

They have just started a workout corset. Its not just for women.

Ok, this is not for everyone. Its a personal choice. I have the same issue with roll/excess skin. I started corset training in my 5th month. It's a gift to myself. My natural waist started at 40 inches. in two weeks its a 36. I have an inch to go to get my corset to completely close at a 32. After that I will get a consult for what size corset I need next. Benefits for me..It supports my back and gives me curves that I have never had. Again this is not for everyone and yes it is a body modification.

@@NewLife'sGr8 Wow that sounds fantastic. I like savory foods...I'm trying this. Thanks

The pancake recipe above is not my normal Breakfast. It's a hit the craving and get it out of the way for me. I use my own Protein powder. I add as much as I like...I also use sugar free maple syrup My normal is egg whites. Prosciutto (paper thin Italian bacon) and asparagus. or a light and fit Carmel Apple pie geek yogurt. Has little pieces of apple. So good.

@@VSGAnn2014 Love my Gym. They are owned by the city parks and recreation. They offer so much. I'm snow shoeing this winter! I can't ski ( I have no balance lol) So this is something I can do. I will post more pictures of that as well.

oh yeah..learning to Kayak.

@@Rogofulm Awe Thanks. everyone is doing fantastic! Keeps me going:)

@@proudgrammy Kathy, I'd invite you anytime. You are the life of the party. No party for me. The kayaking was my big thing this year. I was not even tempted with cake what a change.

@@jessiquoi Yes get a new one. I never knew that Kayaking was so fun. How long have you been Kayaking?

@@nprcowboy Where do you plan to Kayak? I'm working up to the river and the lake. I have some friends that do saltwater in Washington State. I might get that way in the summer.

Fantastic~ Love to hear from people a year or more out. Keeps me motivated. You have done great. Keep us updated please.

Oh yes! I can relate. I had to laugh. Love your post. My new mattress will be delivered this weekend. Mine sags where I sleep from my higher weight. I just don't get a good nights rest on it. I hope this one will last while I'm getting to my goal.

many post on this topic. The product I use is Topix..you can search for it online to see what its about. I hope you find what works for you

@@Jessiegirl30 Oh wow! Congrats What have you been doing to get such great results? Can you get the dress altered by a tailor/seamstress?

Weight loss or attitude. I believe it's both. Employers see a confident healthy candidate. A person that would represent their organization well within the working world and outwardly to the public. It is society's perceptions. Unfortunately most of us have been marginalized because of weight issues. I'm 5 months out. I have placed a few applications out for employment. Funny, I'm looking forward to interviews for the first time in my life. I need a fresh start where people don't know I was morbidly obese. Crossing my fingers for a new career.
