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...

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...😂

Pretty Lady!

Congrats on your weight loss so far, AND your one year anniversary!! Swim suits are a whole other world when one is feeling ALL THAT. Hope you are bringing a whole slew of them on your vacay to show off all your hard work ❤️

Nice! This is on my goal list this year.... P.S. You look like you own the place

Thanks for the offer...I'll think about it ❤️ I took this to heart yesterday and decided we are going to go on a mini-vacay during spring break. And I'm going to do some deep dive research/planning for other trips that are on the table for this year (I do LOVE planning stuff, haha). This is what I am really trying to figure out (given that running/exercise of off the table at the moment). I know if I was in a better place I would be much more open to new stuff (like I normally am). In the meantime, I am going to go plan some trips...

Yesterday Thursday, Feb 13 Maintenance : 5'2" / 1.25 yr PO Sleeve / 116.0 lbs ---------------------------------------- The Kid commented that I eat soup "funny": I have my fill of broth, THEN I eat the "good stuff". Though I don't just do this because I don't want to "drink" and eat at same time, but also because it takes me a while to eat the solids, and then the soup will get cold! ---------------------------------------- 8:30am - black coffee w/ stevia 2:30pm - salad greens w/ vinaigrette + carrots + cucumber + yellow bell peppers + 3oz pan fried brussel sprouts in bacon fat + 1 slice proscicutto + 1 slice roast beef deli meat + 1 oz feta cheese + 4 fl oz pineapple salsa + 1 tsp crunchy garlic chili oil ** ate almost 2/3 of this ** 4:30pm - Starbucks Grande Blonde Americano Misto w/ 1 pump sugar-free vanilla syrup + 1/2 cup greek yogurt + 1 oz blueberries 6:00pm - ** the rest of the 2:30pm meal ** Seafood Shiratake Soup (1/3 package of shiratake noodles + 2 shitake mushrooms + 3 shrimp balls + 1 oz imitation crab meat + 1/3 cup Chinese broccoli + 1.5 cup bonito broth + green onions) ** ate more than 3/4 of the soup ** 8:30pm - ** the rest of the 6:00pm soup ** + 1 scoop Isopure Dutch Chocolate Protein powder + 1 tbsp decaf instant coffee + 2 cups unsweetened cashew milk --------------------------------------- Totals: 908 cals - 81g Protein 50g NET carbs - 33g fat

Dinner: Seafood Shiratake Soup (1/3 package of shiratake noodles + 2 shitake mushrooms + 3 shrimp balls + 1 oz imitation crab meat + 1/3 cup Chinese broccoli + 1.5 cup bonito broth + green onions) (will likely eat the rest for a snack later tonite, will toss if don't...)

..also homemade Chicharron FAIL It started out ok, until someone (um, me) totally forgot about it and ended up rendering ALL the fat out (oopsies) resulting in a yield of a measly 1/2 cup (barely) of reeeaaaaallly crispy pork meat. Mr & the Kid crumbled it up and sprinkled it on their salads, which I guess is a win since they normally don't eat salad. #letsTryThisAgain

Today's first meal: Big A$$ Salad topped with stuff I needed to use up in the fridge: salad greens w/ vinaigrette + carrots + cucumber + yellow bell peppers + 3oz pan fried brussel sprouts in bacon fat + 1 slice proscicutto + 1 slice roast beef deli meat + 1 oz feta cheese + 4 fl oz pineapple salsa + 1 tsp crunchy garlic chili oil. 411 cals - 29g protein - 21g NET carbs + 21g fat (ate a bit more than 1/2...rest is for later...)
