@sillykitty $9.99 at Amazon baby! My first statement necklace, I wish it was a little longer. This could become an addiction!

WTF Hunger?
An acid blocker might really help with your hunger, excess acid mimics hunger.

I had no idea there was a Maurice’s less than 3 miles from me. I had zero luck there. The jeans that fit me had a pattern on the pocket and I’m super picky. I ended up going to the Gap. The girlfriend jean turns out to be a good fit for me. I am now the proud owner of one pair of pants that fit me. They have flattering sizing.

I like your jeans too, can you share the brand? You look fantastic and congratulations on the promotion! Can you tell I can’t find jeans I like?

May I ask what brand your jeans are? They are very flattering on you.

Cute statement necklace! Ok, now I see what has been missing from my life. Thank you for the fashion advice!

Cruiser bikes
I haven’t ridden a bike in years. My husband and I started discussing getting bikes so we could start riding and keep moving. I was a bit intimidated at first because I had no interest in a racing type bike. I was so excited when I ran across the beach Cruiser Bikes. We ordered them, (although you can buy them at stores) put them together and I feel really stable and safe riding it. There are a bunch of brands and styles out there. I’m 58 and my husband is 63 and I recommend this style to anyone in our age group. It’s a more comfortable ride and easier on your back. I love having another option for exercise.

Thank you! I just spent 45 minutes going down a statement necklace rabbit hole. I really do like a lot of them, I’m wondering what earrings you wear with that type of jewelry, I don’t necessarily want to go over the top. I don’t know if any of you watch the Great British Bake Off but I always love Prue Leith’s jewelry.

I’m not trolling with this dress. I ordered it in I SWEAR a different color. (Much lighter) lo and behold I got a SOLID navy dress. It was a really good sale and they only had a few left so I rushed when I ordered it. It is crazy comfortable so I’m keeping it. Problem: I feel like I look like an employee somewhere. Which look is better? 1. Flight attendant or 2. June Cleaver with pearls

It can be temperamental. I believe it only works on text from the original post, I don’t think it works if you try and highlight a repost. I think I’m explaining it poorly! I don’t know if it works on the phone app, I don’t use this site on my phone. Edited to add: That outfit fits you very nicely and you look fantastic.

Great dress and I love your hair!

Congratulations on your weight loss. My husband wore a 42 before he lost weight and could easily find pants/shorts at pretty much all the big box stores. I don’t shop at Walmart so I don’t know about them, but Target did carry some, not a lot. Their quality can be a bit inconsistent so the fit can also be inconsistent. He had a lot of luck at Kohl’s and Amazon. You can find great sales and coupons for Kohl’s and if you check out Amazon Essentials line you will find awesome pricing.

?AUGUST 2019 CHALLENGE?
Same No way am I baking cookies. I don’t have much of a sweet tooth, however cookie dough is pretty much one of my favorite things on the planet. Last night we were going to run some errands. I always joked that we live close enough to walk. Last night we decided to walk instead of drive and it was an easy walk, minus crossing the one busy street of death. I guess that trip was the opposite of getting out into nature. Struck out at belt shopping at Kohl’s and Target, but walked a few miles.

The Maintenance Thread
I am officially in maintenance. Saw the surgeon today and they don’t want me to lose anymore weight. He is the nicest young guy, he is so excited at how well I’ve done. He and the nutritionist both suggested I gain a few pounds because of my age and health history (cancer). I explained why I don’t want to do that and he understood I was ignoring his advice. Here is a video of him, he’s so cute I want to stick him in my pocket. (He reminds me of my oldest son) Matthew Pittman

Just in case you don’t know, you can highlight just the phrase or text you want to copy. Just click and drag, a little pop up comes up that says “quote this” . It is what I just did with your post. Saves on scrolling through the same pictures and bandwidth.

?AUGUST 2019 CHALLENGE?
I’m not going to do yoga but I’ll do some stretching. For cardio today I’m going to go on a bike ride. I still have to adjust my bike though, I think that will take a few rides to get it sorted out. My 1 year follow up with my surgeon is in an hour! Times flies.

I honestly believe if the teacher could have given me an F in Home Economics in 7th grade she would have. I think I passed just because I showed up. I have zero skills in sewing or crafting. I am a good cook though.

I decided to be brave, or stupid to represent us older women. I am wearing workout gear not a bikini. I’m never going to have the same body I had in my 20’s through 40’s but I feel really healthy now. It’s never too late. I was born in 1960 (I’ll be 59 in 2 months) and this body has been through a lot lol.

Where are my water guzzlers?
