    Thanks but no thanks

    Good to see you are out and about! It's been a while! Hope all is well in you neck of the woods!

    "I think you're overdoing it"

    I exercise everyday.....for me I think maybe I traded one for the other...you know. When I was stressed...I ate. Sad? I ate...bored? I ate. Now my daily workout takes the spot of that! I now feel like exercise is my only time for me...to decompress and think. For others to see this routine is just probably strange for them...it will take time. Dont let it bother you- this is for you..no one else.

    Compression Tights and Loose Skin

    And thank you! I may still be a bit saggy. But my skin is soft...lol I didn't mean to sound like a downer! So I hope I didnt come across that way! But I honestly think I've tried every fad out there! Lol

    Compression Tights and Loose Skin

    I've tried derma rolling, coffee wraps, brushing, ice packs...lol exercising daily multi vitamins tons of water....was gonna try cool sculpting, but after talking to quite a few people it does nothing for saggy skin ☹

    Compression Tights and Loose Skin

    I think I have tried almost everything. I have lost 100 and some change...I work out religiously but still a saggy belly and extra skin on the thighs....afraid at this point my only option would be a tummy tuck and lipo... sure it looks better than it did, but I'm still self conscious. And unless I win the lottery looks like spanks from here on out 😏

    Disappearing lapbanders

    I agree...everyone is different. For me I ha e good and bad days. But I also push myself to work out religiously and watch what I eat. I think the band saved me!

    Am I the Only One?

    four weeks and you've lost 25lbs? I would say you are losing weight at a reasonable rate....that's quicker than I did. and losing 25lbs in 4 weeks, you definitely have to be eating less than before. I know the journey can be frustrating, but I suggest take pictures and measurements. I guarantee that even if you hit a week where it seems like you aren't losing weight, its very possible you are losing inches. when you feel like you are still hungry reach for something high in protein. or try a protein shake. keep us posted! good luck!

    WTF - gained inches?!

    Its totally normal to change through out the day....which is why I always weigh myself 1st thing in the morn 💪
  13. I love the show! However my hubby doesnt care for it...therefore I sneak an episode in when I can!
  14. I would love a tummy tuck....I have never ever wore a bathing suit in public. I couldn't imagine how liberating it would be....not for anyone other than myself....😔maybe someday I will be able to do it....for now I just tuck my flappy belly into my high waisted Jean's and go on about my day! That is until I win the lottery....

    Protein shakes

    I have at least one shake a day....without the shakes I would never reach my protein intake

    Getting to enjoy this lifting nonsense

    Good job!💪

    Baby food

    I never asked my nutritionist.....I just assumed that if it was good enough for a baby, it was good enough for me....the portion size was perfect. But I would watch the sugar👍

    Baby food

    I have eaten baby food....only the fruits. Lol I never pureed anything....mostly lots of protein shakes, eggs, beans,cottage cheese and tuna....

    how do you find inspiration

    I keep pics handy......nothing like a good before and after shot

    A little TMI

    I shouldn't have giggled, but you were so descriptive 🤣🤣🤣 Glad you finally got relief!

    Ankle Weights

    I do a ton of walking at work (like 8k steps a day is common) and I wear ankle weights...

    Cool sculpting

    Thanks for all the replies! I too thought this may be an option, but the price range is close to that of a tummy tuck! I don't know anyone who has done it....but I've seen a million pics! Thought If there was a non surgical way to rid myself of the belly that it would be easier to convince my husband to let me fork out the cash😏 Plan B-continue to bug him about a tummy tuck till he folds like a lawn chair!😂

    Third week in

    Glad to hear things are getting better!!! Sometimes with my water I will mix isopure infusions...20g of protein...I like the citrus lemonade 😁
