Last Spring/Summer I mainly wore Walmart workout clothes around the house. They are great and once you get to regular sizes super cheap.
One caution though, if you keep wearing the same sizes, you feel like you aren't losing. especially in those times when you are not dropping weight but are dropping inches. I suggest even if you can't afford new clothes, to at least go try them on each month so you can see your progress.

This happened months ago, but I still get a kick out of it: collar bones. I have them. Hadn't seen them in years. Every morning in front of the mirror, there they are.

I work in an office, so wearing ill-fitting clothes is not an option. However, here the Salvation Army has everything 50% off every Wednesday. I got J.Crew pants for $4, a Marmot jacket for $6, and countless other pieces.

I've been spending about $50 a month to maintain my wardrobe, and it's worth every penny. When I look good, I feel good. When I wear a knit, body-con dress and I know I look great you couldn't pay me to cheat.

My advice: spend a little money and look good. Your self-esteem will thank you.

Have you tried switching up your exercise and doing 2 days of strength training instead of 2 of your cardio days? Your body may be used to the activities you're doing, so those won't cut it for weight loss anymore? Just guessing; I'm hardly an expert! [emoji2]

MyFitnessPal is pretty boring, but you can choose how many months or years you want to see in your progress data, and the little graphic line plummeting downward is pretty great!

I bought one! I like it, and it lets you add other liquids, manually, by ounces, so you can tell it you had 16 oz of juice or whatever other liquids you're having. One of the things I do not like is that you can only have pure Water in the bottle. If you add any flavorings like powder or lemon, it might affect the sensor. I can't stand plain water these days, so I tend to use the feature that I can add my other liquids and just drink one full bottle of plain water.

Hi surgery buddies! Love that there are a few of us for December 19th. Merry Christmas/happy Hanukkah to us, huh? Things are going well I think. The glue is coming off of my incisions and that's kind of gross, but I am pretty much past the pain. I am getting my Protein but not doing as well with fluids as I could be.
I go back to work on Monday and I'm wondering if that's going to be a struggle.
I hit a weight-loss stall and the scale hadn't budged in the past seven days but this morning I was back down the extra pound I had gained since the stall started. I think this is the "three week stall," it just happened a little early for me? I think it was a combination of not getting enough Water, and also eating a little too much on my stage 4/vaguely solid foods diet that I was allowed to start. No clue. Just frustrating.
I was 250 when I started and 226 day of surgery, down to 216 now.

I was 12/19 and I'm new to BariatricPal. How do I join?
