Seriously! The nerve of people. She definitely looked better when she was quiet. BTW, I love your Sleevilla lessons.

I have veins you guys! Can you believe that? All I see now on my hands are veins. My belt that I purchased a million years ago when I lost weight and went down to 275 has extra holes tha tI made. Well, I have to make more holes now. That belt was from Lane Bryant and was for a size 26. I am also pass that 275 weight loss from before, WOOT WOOT! I am able to cross my legs better now. I don't know my exact size but I do have a few XL shirts that I can fit. I am too scared to go to the store to try clothes on because I don't want to be disappointed. The very best NSV is that I am happy with the face that I see in the mirror now. I hope that everyone will achieve there goals and continue to lead a healthy lifestyle. Later Losers!

Looks delish. Now I want a meatball lol. Definitely going to try it out.

Just wanted to share this.

Originally from upstate NY. Currently living in Columbus OH.

Just checking in. Still striving with the sleeve. I found out the hard way that my tummy does not like bananas. I felt like my pouch was going to explode. I had to drink ginger tea. I am 10 pounds from a total 100 pounds loss from my highest weight. 50 pounds from my surgery.I don't even know how to register this. It's unbelievable. Still have a long road ahead of me.I did have a confrontation with cake and lost. Cake is my enemy,it's no secret over here. No more cake is coming in this house. I am back on track today. I hope that everyone is doing well and keep pushing. If you fall,get up and start again. Later Losers!

At last, you are on the losers bench. Glad things are well. Later Loser!

Good for you kindle. Did they wipe the drool off the display afterwards lol. I had a battle with cake the other day.

The thing is with me is that I am addicted to the food porn more after weight loss. I am always on Pinterest pinning. But for the most part, ir is for healthier foods with lots of bold flavors. Majority of the recipes I do not cook at all. I have learned how to make healthier versions of the things I used to eat. I even made cauliflower crust pepperoni pizzas.I have yet to try them and they are in the freezer with the rest of my experiments lol.This is a new habit that I need to kick. Later losers!

Congrats! Awesome job.

Glad that everyone is doing well on their journey. Sandy its good to hear from you. What am amazing lose thus far. Kerp up the good work August sleevers! Later Losers!

Yep, at 4 months out my booty is gone. I started doing squats. I am happy though lol.

I just made banana ice cream and it is delish. Take frozen banana slices,Greek yogurt, peanut butter and sweetener of choice and blend it. You can add some nuts afterwards. I placed it in the freezer and done. Tastes like ice cream. I am going to use pineapples tomorrow to make sorbet for myself . It worked well with my nutribullet.

Shrinking dutchess in deed. Look at all that weight you lost on, what, 5 months? Please share your success. Good job.

I always had a problem with the top of my head being shorter. I don't know if it is due to genetics or what. I noticed today that it is a little shorter. I just started taking 10,000 mcg of biotin like 7 days ago. With the proper care of eating and moisturizing my hair correctly ,I hope it will start to grow.

Hey missbrown30,you look awesome. Great job! Keep up the good work.

Sounds good!

The ablility to really feel the hugs from my family. I mean, I can wrap my arms around them. The ability to go from the basement to the second floor without falling out. The ability to bend without pain and to get off the floor without any assistance. I get up at 430 am now to work out and stay up until 9 pm. I have so much energy now, it's amazing. I went grocery shopping the other morning around 8. I was in there for like 2 hours and then came home to put the food away. I was on my feet until 12 and I was not in pain. I was still runnng around the house doing stuff. Before surgery I could not stand longer than 30 minutes without being in pain. If the scale does not move, I will not fret. These non scale victories are awesome and I am able to enjoy my life. I can also fit some XL shirts now, YES!

You healed well Kindle. I would love to have a tummy like that when I reach my goal weight, not happening lol. I did have one incision above my navel area. The biggest one is on my right side and the other 3 are on the left. One is under my bra lin and I had to keep that covered because of the bra.

I used to LOVE chocolate anything pre-surgery. I have some chocolate icing in my kitchen right now for my hubby's cake. But, I did not open it. I keep protein bars handy for snacks time and frozen yogurt almonds in the freezer for the T.O.M. cravings. But I am amazed that the chocolate monster in me is tamed, for now. But I noticed that almost 4 months out, my sweet tooth finally kicked in.

Time flies! It has been a month already! Wow, and you can really tell the difference too. Keep up the good work lady. You are doing awesome. Later Loser!

Thanks Grammy!

Awesome success Grammy. I enjoy reading your posts. I am truly happy for you and others as well that are on this wonderful journey. Later Losers!

Hello all! The recipes you guys are posting look delish. I wanted to try the cauliflower pizza crust that I keep reading about. So, I found a recipe on Pinterest and decided to try it. So, I made like 4 mini turkey pepperoni cauliflower crust pizzas. I am having tummy issues today so I doubt I will be able to eat one. Here it goes. Later Losers!

That sausage looks good. Gamergirl, were you able to eat the whole sausage?
