Will you be my tour guide? Let's go to Brisbane and meet up with Ms. Emma Peel! -
Silly Kitty - saw this for you, and said - it's definitely MEOW. On sale at Saks for $68.00!

You have so much to look forward to!!! 50 pounds! Wow. Congratulations... well on your way. So very excited for you. Don't hesitate to share your milestones with us. We've celebrated and watched one another drop clothing sizes into our final goals. Fun! i.e. 3X shorts into these size 4 washed blue jeans + XS leather jacket in 1 year and 8 months.

Hasn't Cheese got the cutest little figure! I agree, adorable. And, we finally get to meet Mr. Cheese - that famous grill master.
-
Happy ANNIVERSARY!!!!! LOOKING FABULOUS! What a beautiful smile. The milestone you have achieved + maintained is truly inspiring. Great taste in artwork reproductions, too. Here were my heavy girl shorts size 3X when I tipped 298 pounds. Thanks for sharing. Let us hear more from you. ;]
-
Thank you, Ms. VSG Barbie - I needed that today. Are you a fan of the edible fruit, too? Summer peaches and cherries rules in my book... I eat them all season long. Hugs!
-
Oh life is but a bowl of cherries! Ran around doing errands today before covidcane hovers our coast tonight. Quick and easy button up comfy cotton/silk dress.
-
Gorgeous! I'd say we have another Avenger starlet in our midst - Ms. Arabesque.
-
Go Eagles, white knight! That mischievous grin would suggest you're up to far more than just shopping. Haha. Any touch downs made with new additions to the wardrobe?

I'll take some leftover chicken + corn chowder home! Looks delicious. Great winter dish. Have you had any snow yet? Will you take a snow scape picture when you do? ;] -

Pepper steak for dinner. And, my sentiments on quinoa. None in the salad. ;] -

The Emotional First + Aid Kit (A practical guide to life after Bariatric surgery), second edition, by Cynthia L. Alexander, PsyD is a handy little reference I've enjoyed. A sense of humor doesn't hurt either. Even the mainstream are struggling with food given these precarious times. A good time to give grace to ourselves - And, to bestow before others. ;]
-
Ditto, Viking - show us your stuff.

I only noted that nice trim waistline and those upper body muscles in action, myself.

Arm lift next week - VERY UNPREPARED
Sophie7713 replied to LaLaDee's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
Oh LaLaDee! Congratulations. How exciting. I'm so glad everything went famously and right on schedule. This is good news. I can already tell you will have beautiful svelte arms to wear any summer dress you desire when warm weather arrives in your parts. You have so much to look forward too... Happy healing, and a continued good week giving yourself lots of TLC. Posies + hugs. -

ME, too! Time to break out those scented candles, I say. She ain't cookin' nuthin - Mr. Cheeseburgh! -
Please take pictures for us from the helicopter! FUN. Will you parachut out (under the rotary blades that is...) like Jake would? September trip sounds fabulous. Actually, I love this look for you. It's a fun cross between surf gear wet suit and vintage swim wear. And, in your signature black to boot. ;]
-
Yes, it was sweltering that day. My hair was glued to my head. Hair spray melt down. LOL. And, this was by the intracoastal with an 102 breeze. Actually, summer has not been to oppressive this year. I just wear lots of comfy natural cottons and linens. Lot's of air holes + ventilation in this blouse. ;] Synthetics never breath - At least for me here in sub-tropical land. How has your summer been?
-
I just love your style in dresses! Great patterns, too. Keep sharing your new outfits... ;]
-
WOW! What month will you be appearing in Gentlemen's Quarterly?! I really like the shorts.
-
Thought of you when I came across this picture today... ;] x o

I know I have caught it! I'm counting the days until we are off to a mountain cabin vacate AND NO COOKING! Hubby can grill and I might agree to make a SIMPLE salad or better yet - take some carrot sticks out of a bag. Tonight's dinner date out. Shared a salad first, then nibbled a few bites of Mr. Sophie's pasta ricotta rolls with meatballs + pork bites. The Chicago hotdog was in honor of our honeymoon in Chicagoland late summer 1994. Ate the hog dog ends without bun. Some leftovers for the week. -
Body Lift Surgeon Recommendations?
Sophie7713 replied to FatboySkin's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
Silly Kitty makes a very good point here. Each surgeon needs to evaluate one's age, health, skin type, pain threshold and flesh amount to be removed. For myself, I had stretched my petite frame beyond extreme at 5 feet. Even a few inches would have spread the wealth. LOL. Surgery for tummy + breast lifts past December was six hours from prep to recovery. My recovery was smooth, concise and without issue. Close to 6 - 7 pounds of skin removed! Interestingly, while my weight loss had stabilized - my body responded positively in other ways to the plastic surgery procedure. Day of surgery - I weighed 130 pounds. 1 1/2 months later - I settled in at 118. Now, 115. My arm lifts are scheduled 7 months from December surgery. I have very heavy upper arms, and suspect each may weigh 1 pound!? Soooo, that might mean a final weight of 113 pounds in the end. Do not plan on inner thigh skin to be removed. I can manage and conceal that pretty well. That being said, I am amazed at the Art and Science - Skill + Talents available to us with WLS and plastics to help us arrive at our best selves! So thankful and at awe of all our wonderful transformations! Other than the COVID thing - I'm really enjoying my slimmest happiest summer of adult lifetime. Game changer, indeed!
