ms.sss

I brought a robe and PJ pants. They didn't even make it out of my bag (along with other things I thought I needed but didn't). Just ended up wearing 2 hospital gowns: one opening at the back, and another one on top opening at the front (I was only at the hospital for one night). I did however use the crocs I brought so I could do my laps around the hallways. Other things that I brought and actually used: lip balm & biotene spray (for my dry throat). Good luck on your surgery!

The Kid went to NYC and brought me back a souvenir t-shirt ❤️. Happy to OOTD it to lunch today.

Others may also be picking up on the positive changes in you and responding in kind. I know that as the pounds came off, I felt better and better, gained more and more confidence. I stood up a little straighter, took better care of myself. I'm sure that was projected out into the world and people noticed.

Yay for closing in on the mid 160's! Boo for being sick. Get more rest! Drink lots of fluids! Sending you good vibes....❤️

Had it not been so cold yesterday I would have worn this. You can't tell in this picture (sorry, bad lighting) but the dress is actually silky, flowy-ish, and clingy-ish in a jewel sapphire blue colour. It looks nicer in person.

Ok, so here is what I ended up wearing for v-day date nite: Its was c-c-c-c-cold out so I'm wearing 2 pairs of socks, 2 pairs of leggings and a 2 tops (I probably should have re-thunk the v-necks...I had to keep my scarf on for the first hour at the venue). Took it off plus one of the tops later when the music "moved us", and it started to get steamy, LOL. Kept both leggings on and it was a mini-sauna in my pants there at one point. Good Times. Not shown: scarf, ski gloves, unflattering (but serviceably warm) hat, and the warmest parka I've ever owned. P.S. @Sophie7713 I didn't forget you...will take a pic of original date nite dress later...

Yesterday Friday, Feb 14 Maintenance : 5'2" / 1.25 yr PO Sleeve / 116.6 lbs ---------------------------------------- Had a blast last night with Mr for V-day. Got him to agree at one point to go to this club at least once a month. I doubt he remembers saying so though, shoulda got it on paper, LOL Also to my surprise, all the chocolate and drink mixers I put IN me, STAYED in me last night (i.e., no dumping, just a little tiredness after dessert, but that may have been the alcohol...) ---------------------------------------- 9:30am - black coffee w/ stevia 1:30pm - salad greens w/ vinaigrette + carrots + cucumber + 1.5 oz tomatoes + 3 chicken wings w/ 2 tbsp hot sauce 4:30pm - skinny tea latte + + 3 chicken wings w/ 2 tbsp hot sauce + 2 Lindor chocolate hearts 9:00pm - 2:00am 2 oz bbq chicken breast + 3/4 cup roasted vegetables w/ feta + 1/4 cup spring mix salad w/ balsamic vinaigrette 1/4 a chocolate raspberry tartufo (i.e., filled ice cream ball dipped in chocolate) w/ 4 tbsp whipped cream and one of the hugest strawberries I have ever seen. 1 mojito 2 martinis 1 dark & stormy 2 Lindor chocolate hearts --------------------------------------- Totals: 1841 cals - 54g Protein 88g NET carbs - 70g fat

Close, it's Chinese broccoli...lol:

Careful with those invites, Sophie, you may just find me with bags at your doorstep one day... P.S. I'll take a shot of what I would have worn tonite just for you, lol xoxo

Hubba Hubba. 😍 But @Snapcase-, that jacket is waaaaay too big on you. You need to invest in a nice slim-fitting jacket to do your new bod justice. Show 'em what you got.

Happy 2 year surgiversary 🎉 !! You've come a long way, baby. 😘

You definitely look slimmer! Lookin' gooooooooooooood 😍

The incredible shrinking woman. You are getting smaller with every new post! Looking fab as usual, and seriously, you should wear jeans 24/7.

Now that's just showing off. #jealousWhileIwearing2pairsOfSocks

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I heart you @BayougirlMrsS ❤️ I totally cried reading this post, it was very moving. It was sobering to read your first post and the vast difference in tone compared to you latest one. I'm so so so so so so so happy for you that you are loving and living life with confidence, gratitude, AND a kick-ass attitude. You rock. Happy Valentine's Day! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

While the pastelito (had to google that!) is fine and all that, its YOUR NAILS that steal the spotlight here...

...um...so do we!

...also there are LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of folks on here who went through the "I'm losing too much weight" phase after reaching/surpassing goal (myself included). It takes a while with some trial and error to figure out your sweet spot of not gaining nor losing. The common successful process is to up your calories by 100 every week/couple of weeks and see how your body responds. You may lose some more weight during this process, but you will eventually find your maintenance calories for your intended body weight. P.S. It took me 3-4 months after deciding to stop losing weight plus another 12-15 lbs of additional weight loss to stabilize (Goal weight was 127, lost down to 113, am now settling in between 115-120). Like you, I reached goal in 7 months by being militant about my diet and exercise. It was a little difficult switching gears, but I got there eventually (I am 1 year, 4 months out now)

Ok ladies and gentlemen...I wanna see some cute outfits from those who are going on a date night tonite with their boos, friends or whatever! ...and if its a stay in night, I also enjoy seeing cute pj's and workout gear P.S. my plan to wear a "tastefully slutty" dress this evening has been foiled by T.O. weather:

...and hope you feel better soon!

I know it may not be nice to laugh at this, but I totally did. More times that I care to remember, I have meticulously measured and entered my food data, only to barf it up or projectile poop it out later. I too have also wondered how this affects my EOD macros count...😂
