The Maintenance Thread
Are you taking those fancy carb blockers you (or someone) posted about awhile ago? I think I remember reading it helps with the effects of how carbs react in your system.

Thank you for the reminder and adding a balanced view. This thread is kind of misleading to read sometimes because almost everyone on it is probably still a honeymooner

Try to not compare what you can do/ what others can do, everyone is different.- Non Surgical/Invasive Procedures
I was getting laser hair removal for a bit before surgery but had to stop because it was getting very expensive because of the type I needed and it no longer fit my life/work schedule when the tech shifted her hours. Recently after seeing an article on at home machines, I decided on a whim to purchase an IPL machine. Time will tell how effective it is but it feels very similar to the in office variety and at a fraction of the cost.- Non Surgical/Invasive Procedures
A slightly different type of thread Not necessarily weightloss related but definitely self improvement related I wondering which types of non surgical/invasive Procedures have everyone been trying out.- The Maintenance Thread
Very true! it may just be very temporary, not many of us are even at the 3-5 year mark yet (true maintenance yrs?)- MY SURGERY AND HOSPITAL STORY :)
Congrats & welcome to the other side (finally ?)- The Maintenance Thread
IMHO what you want is currently diametrically opposed.- The Maintenance Thread
I have a (don't shoot the messenger type of) question that I have avoided asking for a while now : Do we really not know how to halt weightloss?- The Maintenance Thread
Rich soups like loaded potato, butternut squash (cream based) as some of your liquids, Hagen Daaz ice cream sometimes? Good Luck ?- Whole Food Plant Based Eating
Pretty interesting ! Logistics Questions: Are you meal prepping weekly/nightly/daily? How does the increase cooking routine fit in with work and exercise schedule? Using an Insta/Crockpot or are you also raw? Is there food waste? Cooking like this for just one or others? Food expenses increased/decreased? Thanks ?- Food Before and After Photos

11/ 2 & 3: Technology I'm most grateful for : it's a 50/50 split modern medicine and indoor plumbing ? Could you imagine being alive in a time without either? Food I'm most grateful for: IDK ? If you asked me a year ago I would have said yogurt because i ate it Every. Single. Day Now I barely touch the stuff. Same with a lot of foods for me. I love and leave them alone for a while IDK why. But Tea which isn't technically a food but a drink has never fallen out of my good graces since childhood ? I think I am briefly negative with myself when naked , I'm always like just fly to Miami tomorrow and get plastics NBD ?- Food Before and After Photos
