    What chart are you going by? I have my 6 month follow up next month. Finally made it to onederland this week but barely lol. Dr goal is 180 for me. Trying to see if I can get there by then. I wasn't very good in Dec. Only lost 5lbs but that was due to my poor choices. We'll get there!

    Steak stays in your stomach for days? Nothing stays in your stomach for days.
    I started eating anything and everything at 4 weeks, after clearance from my doctor. I've no issues with anything. Just take small bites and chew well.

    I used to say how much. Now I just say quite a bit. It sounds weird saying 70+ lbs cause then you know they're going to try to do the math lol

    I have BCBS Highmark and they will not cover it because it's considered a food product.

    Lol Thank you for sharing. I never had a chest unless pregnant or now heavy. Congrats on rocking it tho. I know it doesn't matter what others think. I'm doing this for me and my health. Just would be nice to have a supportive partner

    If I tell them the truth, I can see it in their ๐Ÿ‘€ eyes, OMG , JUST HOW BIG WERE YOU? When you start in the mid 300s, even though you are in the mid-200s now, you still are larger than the "average" person your age. Most 73 years are thin or dead, I'm just an exception, aren't I? Last person I smiled as sweetly as possible Thank you for noticing and asking ( although it is none of your business) now,if you will excuse me, I would like to finish my shopping. You may have started this conversation but I am terminating it. Bye Bye!๐Ÿ‘‹

    I've given up. Now I get the occasional woman who will like my profile. I then message her and she ignores me. I don't have the social skills necessary to meet people in real life. I've tried Match, eHarmony and OKCupid. Combined I've sent hundreds of messages. Sticking with eHarmony since they have canned questions to send. Don't feel like putting the effort in. On OKCupid, I was messaged by a professional dominatrix. I was tempted.

    Same here. I didn't get heavy until pcos kicked in. That was my 20's. Fast forward 20 yrs and a divorce I just didn't bother dating as I disgrace feel comfortable in my own skin. I'm now down to my lowest weight since 1998. I'm at 198-199 naked lol. Some might consider still big but I'm rocking it. Only thing I miss is my boobs. My ass was pretty sad when I was big now it's nonexistent
