Crap. I forgot about that. Definitely going to need bras. I never had boobs until I got fat. I’m guessing they are going to disappear along with the fat. Oh well....worth it Forget about clothes then... Save for plastics 😓😢😥

You will most definitely have to get new underwear and bras...

WOW!!!! Big Big changes

I edited it to say Amazon and Walmart once I read you were in Hawaii (derp , speed reading), yes yogurt can replace a supplement. *Most* Teams prefer that you eventually work to get your protein macros from real foods instead of shakes when you can.

Amazon and Walmart sells discounted priced multivitamins, Yogurt for protein vs protein shakes...

Hi!!! I would suggest not buying a lot of stuff, just staples you love and are interchangeable in your wardrobe, think capsule closet, otherwise you risk lamenting the loss of clothing that you just bought or taking it to a tailor to have resized $$$$$$$$$$$$$ I very excitedly replaced my entire stock of clothing half way through my journey (necessary but short sighted - don't be like me) however I'm a tailor so I edit the best items. Once at goal, go crazy.

Anyone interested in a February Challenge?

Working on it!

My team is firmly against snacking the further out you get they say simply stick to scheduled meal times. I agree with them because you can condition yourself (even into hunger like situations that don't actually exist) based on routine (think Pavlov's work) I try to drink more cal free fluids instead . Your team my have a different view. Ask them how they feel about snacking the further out you get. CONGRATS on your success ❤

Jan. 27th: Current struggle- lazy with food again, I'd rather eat yogurt than prep anything else for myself unless it was made in bulk and needs to be finished. People around me are starting to notice (asking what I ate for the day) and it's making me super self-conscious trying to explain that I ate yogurt for 3 meals in a row but it was perfectly acceptable 😓. Gotta get it together GTL, Quick before someone accuses me of orthorexia...

Winter is trying to get me y'all... There was the clearest sheet of ice everywhere. I'm jumping rope indoors and maybe I'll go to the gym for weight training since it's not a pizza or bagel day for members, wtf right...

Yasssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

How did I miss this!?!?!? Sooooo beautiful 😍😍😍😍😍

You are so new that you can totally go back... Space out your meals timings longer, eat 2oz no matter what you think you want, drink/eat slower. Some of us way further out experiment with retraining and it works still. Safe Journey 🎈

Diner food, rarity Before and After

Me too!

There are vegan/vegetarian versions of both. On this site there is an entire section dedicated to vegan/vegetarian lifestyle as well ,you'll be ablse to find some suggestions there too. CONGRATS 💜

Lots of anecdotal information being passed around, but you would have to search hard to find science based info on why cheat days work.

Agreed! We (politely) demand a recipe (please) !!!!

At this point in my journey I was given the ok by My Team to eat Pizza and Pasta in Italy... MY TEAM! I said never, they said oh yes! I did. They were familiar with me/my issues (or lack thereof) and could advise me on how to deviate and return. My life was not just about surgery or food. That was just a part of it. They understood that when I couldn't. Trust your team and their advice for you...
