I’ve enjoyed this thread so much & decided to be brave and upload some images from the last month. Summer here hence the strappy dresses. Oh yeah, I’m a bit partial to black. Ha!
The day I reached my goal weight about five weeks ago. Off to the theatre to see my niece who dances with a contemporary dance company.

Two weeks ago. Ignore the unmade bed. At my mother’s before going to my two 6yr old nieces’ first ballet concert - lots of skipping around in circles.

Just around the house today. Super casual. Still have thighs 😜. Four kg below my goal weight. So much for maintaining.

WELCOME! So glad you joined us. Love your asymmetrical evening gown. Gorgeous! And, these comfy casuals are ADORABLE on you. I love black and white, too.

I went shopping today and tried a skirt on that had a fit I am not usually confident in. But, I think with some Shapewear I can pull it off.

Actually, Angie bear, you look incredibly slender and stylish here in these more tailored styles like this pencil skirt and fitted shirt. Your previous suit outfit had that same effect. Not that you should dispose of the creative artistic sensibilities... I'd just make my core foundational pieces more tailored, then accessorize with your wonderful avant-garde flair! Those really cool pieces will take center stage when paired with quieter undertones. Love this outfit! Did you purchase it?

Here's a before and after

Okay, then! Anyone who wears an Eagles cap is definitely in style. I hail from Pennsylvania originally. Here was our outfits the day after party of national championship win in Feburary 2018! Many congratulations on your transformation! You have definitely gained height and balanced proportions visually. No doubt, feeling like a new man inside and out. You must be very proud. And, welcome to the group - as we continue to discover new fashion adventures embarking on a New Year 2020 of promise, possibilities and fabulous new clothing closets... Go Eagles!

I don't think they called it a lift in anyway, on the procedure listing is was just plain old "breast reduction". It was covered by provincial insurance so I didn't really have a choice. Though looking back I probably should have asked for a different technique. They used the lollipop incision which results in a higher nipple placement yes, but has a bulbous look at the lower part of the boob. Now that I lost a lot of weight, that bulbous look is gone (they just look deflated) but my nipples are still nice and high. So they don't look like regular droopy boobs, but still not the greatest.

Next week I am getting my arm lift and what is listed on the procedure listing as a "breast reduction revision", basically its to remove the excess skin on my side boob, but will also address the under nipple boob sag in the process.

I cannot wait to have the very droopy girls raised up... After weight loss they literally look like missiles with the target being the floor! Went from a DD to C cup. Surgeon will adjust accordingly. I'd like to remain a C, but a B would be fine.

Hoping the lift means perky and no bra around the house. I get a new shallow little belly button, too!

A definite work in progress.

Let us know how the arm lifts goes?

Have the best possible weekend sequestered in the hotel room without jet setting BF. Glad you have embraced your five new fashion accessories... drainage tubes. Oh boy. What a trooper. Sweet and satisfying rewards await you, indeed. I am truly inspired by your courage and fortitude! And, very appreciative of the fact you are sharing the plastics process. Feeling some mixed emotions - my surgery is about five weeks away. She has her own surgery center at office, and if I am to understand correctly - I go home the same day. Comments here have advised otherwise. Pre-op Jan. 6th will be a time to address that. Hubby will take that first week off to navigate with me. I, too, was totally traumatized by a Rosemary's baby (that's the perfect term to describe that ordeal!!!!!!) and have hemorrhoids now. Some silly and cheerful reminders... that this too shall pass. AND, Santa definitely needs to deliver that well deserved sable fur; deed to the diamond mine; and new convertible, too. Keep well meow.

You all look amazing. Sophie those Christmas pictures look so cute. I also love your hubby’s office decorations.

Welcome @Dtrain84. You sure know how to put together an outfit from head to toe. Great style.

@ms.sssI’m jealous I can’t wait till I steal my daughters clothes I bought a Sherpa sweater and the sleeves were too short, so I had my little one try it on, and it fit her perfectly.

@AngieBear I love all the professional outfits. You look stunning.

my OOTD is super cheerful. 😀

TOOOO ADORABLE! Love the kitsch. I wondered when you post dress... remembering when you ordered it. The scalloped neck line is really nice. You wear whimsy well and will definitely be spreading the holiday cheer around! Fun! Great lipstick color on you, too. Such a pretty woman.

Just received our holiday card proofs back from the photographer today - with the endorsed jean jacket from our OOTD group. AND, hubby's office Christmas decorations now complete. I'm thinking this was not one of Santa's better days! I know. I know. We do have a bit of a skewed sense of humor. ;]

I think we have yet another Bond girl here... FAB outfit! Cropped sweater, button front Jeans and boots just to die for.

Yes! I was channelling you!!! Do you wear a 7 1/2?

Yes, I actually do! I use to wear a solid size 8 - BUT have dropped ½ to 1 size depending on shoe styling. I think we all need to raid sissy's closet!

Love this whole look! You look AHMAYZING!!! Love the hat!!

You do know the new James Bond movie (can't wait!) comes out in April 2020. I think we have a secret celebrity in our midst....Traveling. Hmmmmm - probably to some exotic movie set. Not buying the Starbucks bathroom cover story. The gofers usually bring the coffee or hot tea, in this case - right to the starlet. :]

Everyone is doing great... Congratulations! Five pounds to my final goal. Wow. What a difference a year makes.

OK, serious NSV alert. I've never in my life owned a pair of full calf boots. Why? Cuz from age 6 when white boots became popular (thank you Partridge Family), they didn't have any that would fit over my big fat calves.

My sissy cleaned out her closet this weekend and gave me some stuff that's either too small for her or that she doesn't wear. Beautiful super high end stuff. The kind I couldn't afford. And her boots were in the batch! And they fit! They fit! Normal size calf boots zipped with room to spare!!! *swoon*

Here I am dressed for Tuesday date night (on account of mah new boots).

Can I borrow those boots?!!! Wow. Love them, and the tweed jacket with the arm pads.

Hope surgery went well today, and you are resting + recovering as comfortably as possible. Take good care. You are in my thoughts and prayers, meow.

Yesterday, I was supposed to go on a seasonal stroll but plans changed. But to prepare I wore 3 pairs of leggings , a longsleeve shirt under my dress , Earl Grey- Hot ☕ 😬

AMAZING! A total Bond Girl of intrigue on route to some exotic Swiss Alps ski lodge!!! Seriously, I need to come coat and boot shopping with you. You totally rock this look and outfit.

What a fun night I had. I got so many compliments tonight. What a difference a year makes. At my Christmas Gala last year I just felt fat and ugly. This year, although the dress was way out of my comfort zone, I felt great. Just look at the difference in our photo booth pictures side by side.

YOU LOOK AMAZING!!!! Wahoo! Totally worthy of all the compliments you received at gala. Hubby looks pretty dapper, too. Great hat. You make a stunning couple ready to ring in the New Year.

Oh Christmas tree, Oh Christmas tree... who is that beauty by your branches?!

Trying to winterize for our Christmas vacation. Cool weather gear was the last remaining clothing to be replaced... Except for this oversized white cotton channel sweater (1X) - I just cannot depart with it yet. 6 pounds to goal. Once loose skin is addressed in the mid-section... these new sweaters should fit better!

today is Friday and we get to wear Jeans...... my husband too me to lunch... (spicy crab meat with avocado, no lettuce). He said... wow babe you really have lost a lot of weight..... today i weighed in at 140.6..... whoop whoop.

Casual friday it is...... Just noticed my headphones around my neck.... hehe

You look so pretty in this outfit AND so glad hubby is your best admirer! He must be so proud.

Playing winter dress up 😂

My completely phony figure here! 🤣

Woohoo! How fantastic is this outfit! However, not sure I'm believing it's just winter dress up at the house. More likely - a clandestine meet with James Bond, perhaps? I always wanted to be a Bond girl. I guess my James Bond movie score music CD's will have to suffice. Die another day by Madonna totally RULES!

She's workin it! Orange is definitely one of your colors with your pretty skin tone.

Feeling Pretty In Pink today..... nice comfy warm Uggs.... hehe

So PRETTY IN PINK! What a gorgeous curvaceous figure.

Ladies, loved this double-breasted jean jacket, too! It was from the Macy's petite, size 8 in Ralph Lauren department on sale this past Fall... AND, I know they had some jackets left in regular departments. Some were still on the sales rack as of last week. A great classic for any wardrobe. It might pair nicely with those who look really good in skirts flared or pencil style... Fun!

Travel Day

Those are the coolest slacks - are they stretch velour fabric? Your sweater variety and ensemble in varied colors are great. This black one is really flattering... I suspect CA is cooling down this week, too.

Btw, LOOOVE the denim jacket!!!!!

Oh, I'd just LOVE to wear heals (good idea!)... BUT had a serious boat dock injury on left knee a few years back. Since then, it was progressing into osteoarthritis bone on bone. Dr. Orthopedic says no heels and attempt to mimic barefoot as much as possible. That accident on a client's boat was the BEST thing that could have ever happened to me! My wake-up call to such denial, insanity and un-health coupled by tragedy, heartache and loss we've all experienced. Like... HELLO Sophie!!! The full brunt of 269+ pounds landing on that left knee. Can you even imagine!? I'm very happy to report with the weight loss of 121 pounds and counting... the knee has stabilized and no longer degenerating, at least for now. Not shy, for here is the pathetic condition I allowed to happen to my body. Wow, simply ridiculous when I look back. Looking forward, the GREAT news is we are each forging ahead to our best selves. A new path AND I could not be more proud of us - thankful and honored to be a part of OOTD.
