I 100% go by fit vs tag size because vanity sizing and non standardized sizing are a problem. I can wear a whole host of sizes. It’s really random. Also taking your own measurements and comparing to measured sizes is the best way to go when shopping online.

Salmon pâté ball with crackers. All these years later and I’m still making this.

French Toast! I ALWAYS use zero carb bread for this recipe and it’s always perfect 😍

I would consult with your weight management team to see what they think.

Oh I forgot to mention I also used Topiramate (not for weight management) and I could never be persuaded to return to it ever again. The neurological side effects aren’t worth it.

@Sunshine3073 and @Gottanewlife I would like to caution you against what you post here.

With all the advancements in weight management meds that have occurred in the last few years, Topiramate would be very low on my list of things to try (for weight loss). Is there a reason your provider prefers this over GLP-1s?

I never watched the Biggest Loser because somehow it felt exploitative BUT I definitely watched 600lb Life which in retrospect was definitely exploitative. So maybe it was the exercise I was against after all. Go figure. 🤣

Rotisserie chicken, couscous and tomato cucumber salad. One of these days when the weather is cooler I will bake my own chicken again. I prefer to roast it with carrots and potatoes. Store bought is easy but not nearly as good.

Looks like you had a great time!

Welcome Back! Hope you’re doing well ❤️

I love it!

Please post pics of how you look in the dress w/o bra, w/ bra and what you would ultimately hope to look like.

Spinach and (chicken) sausage over couscous

Chicken sausage! I have been to zero BBQ’s this summer but this makes me feel like I haven’t missed anything 😝

Rotisserie chicken with couscous 🤤

So the birthday celebrations continued with my BF taking me to a Tea room for English Tea Service. 🥰 My menu for tea service was: Chickpea Salad Tea Sandwich, Garden Vegetable Tea Sandwich, Strawberry, Orzo, & Basil Salad, Summery Island Scone, Blueberry Cheesecake Petit Fours, Miniature Pavlovas and Pignoli Cookie. My tea selections were Victorian Earl Grey (A floral blend of Rose Congou black tea, rose petals, lavender, rosemary, and bergamot oil) and China Rose Petal (Congou black-leaf tea is layered with pink rose petals) My BF chose a lunch of Croissant Parisienne Sandwich (melted brie, Granny Smith apples, and fig preserves) and corn chowder. His tea selection was Almond Sugar Cookie (Black teas, almonds, almond sugar cookie flavoring, and safflower blossoms)

Tofu and broccoli! I recently saw a recommendation to boil the tofu in salty water first to get firmer texture and it worked.

Teriyaki salmon over jasmine rice (no rice for me)

I do occasionally enjoy a lot of different things HOWEVER I mainly eat the same things daily. I think that helps me maintain the illusion of control ?

Thank you! I intend to stick around even though I don’t have much to share. You guys are my tribe ❤️

I like it! Is it half lined or more concentrated sequins towards the waist?

Simply Gorgeous! Happy Birthday ?

Your nephew is going to be a charmer! Please take a ton of photos even if only for yourself. I celebrated with a house party (karaoke and movies) where we stayed up nearly all night then out for coffee/tea with my family. It was really nice.

Thank you!!! Are you ready for your birthday? Any big plans?
