What a great visual aid that will be there all the time to remind you of your success and to help you remain focused. Congratulations! 🙂

Glad to see you back and congrats on 100#! Major milestone! Very cute kitty tattoo!

OMG I JUST FRIGGIN' SNEEZED ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!!! I had nothing to splint my belly so I just held it as tight as I could It was fine, there was no pain!

Congrats girlie! You are doing famously well!!!!! So happy for you!

LOL...so I'm not the only one tracking this! I keep a little note in my fitness calendar, where I also keep my food diary, medicine, exercise log and water intake

Congrats! That's just FABULOUS!!! You rock!

Fabulous! I had hoped to hit 50# this weekend, but I'm at 49.2. Oh well, celebration will have to wait!

Good solution! I've used a stapler when I've been in a pinch and needed to fix something on my clothing...

AH! Thank you! I hadn't seen that option because I rarely hover over someone's username. They need to make that option available on the person's profile page or directly on the posts they make, but at least it exists!

I agree there should be. Mine is not so much about the scaring but ive noticed one member in particular that no matter how sincere and upset someone seems to be, they just can't help but be sarcastic. I am famous for sarcasm, but there is an appropriate time and place. It doesnt belong when someone is pouring their heart out publicly because they need an understanding outlet.

Hahahaha! I had that earlier this week! Serves to remind that we are indeed, full of sh*t.
Congrats!

Thank you! I'll check it out!

Exactly how I feel about them...although my thoughts have slightly changed...SLIGHTLY! I’d have to try a bunch on to see which doesn’t highlight my now-still belly. Haha!

Never been a fan of dresses, no. That may change as I shrink, but I doubt it.

I probably would've held off with buying them, but mine were so baggy they looked awful, and I'm a reporter so I have to look at least semi-presentable and the 28s just didn't fit that bill anymore -- after only about a month!

YUM! Gonna steal this!

Haven't tried the taco ones yet, but the lasagna ones are AMAZING. Like, as good as or better than regular lasagna.

I was going to have it at Barnes West County, but they made me move it to Barnes in the city.

oooh, I am so looking forward to toast! Congrats!

@istytehcrawk That sounds soooo good!! Glad you were able to satiate your craving

@JanineVSG You inadvertently reminded me that I had leftover spaghetti squash in the freezer, so I cooked some of that up in a skillet, microwaved a leftover baked chicken tender and chopped it up to add into the skillet, and topped it all off with 1/4 cup roasted garlic alfredo sauce and a sprinkle of parmesan. SO GOOD, for 14 grams of protein and roughly 150 calories!

I may have to start doing that with a stool softener, but I'm going to try adding Benefiber into my diet first. I haven't been getting enough fiber lately with prioritizing protein/liquids over fruits and veggies.

I’m six months post op . I have to take a Senna every other day ... it’s the only thing to keep me on track . It’s one of the issues I’ve had and it is so discomforting. I hope you feel better soon !

Wahoo!!!!!

I feel you. My hormones are definitely out of whack, too (though it's not as bad now as it was the first couple weeks -- so it does get better). I sometimes just start tearing up out of NOWHERE, sometimes in the middle of a conversation. I warned everyone at work that if it looks like I'm crying, I probably am, but it's fine because it's just my body being ridiculous (everyone at work knows about my surgery).
