Thank you so much @ms.sss! I was a sprinter in high school and just truly got lucky after kids in terms of the muscle memory. But don't let the clothes fool you, there's a bulge in there. I sincerely hope I continue to lose weight in the right places?? I don't feel objectified at all!! Thanks for the compliment and encouraging words [emoji8][emoji176]

Fitbit is what I use.

Happy belated birthday Bianca!!![emoji322][emoji253] my surgery twin [emoji8][emoji176]

Hello@Sillykitty!! Hope you are feeling better! I know you know it's not uncommon to get the blahs post any surgery. It comes in waves but by day 14 you will get less of that ennui effect and start to feel much better!!![emoji253][emoji253][emoji253][emoji253][emoji176][emoji176]

Not being able to gulp does not happen to everyone!!

Yes, with dense proteins and meals! You will feel the restriction alright!

The liberation u feel from the band to the sleeve is unbelievable!!! Don't remind me of the toxic restriction [emoji29] I can gulp, sip and do whatever I want ...albeit healthily with my sleeve and I am ecstatic about that!!!

Absolutely gorgeous!! Ensemble and person!![emoji122][emoji122] Well done! You must feel extremely proud and fantastic [emoji108][emoji175][emoji175]

My size 10 Jeans have become so loose and it's messing with my head that I should possibly consider 8s[emoji54][emoji54][emoji54][emoji54][emoji54][emoji54][emoji54]

I can read this every day catwoman!! Thanks so much for the hope and encouragement! For both the OP and I and probably many others!!![emoji176][emoji176][emoji176]

Welcome and praying all goes well for you tomorrow!![emoji176][emoji175]

My daughter had a birthday party yesterday as she was born on Christmas day and this is how to separate her birthday from Christmas. I overindulged so on my way to the gym [emoji57] I have a lot of ways to go but I'm hoping posting pictures will help me stay focused and accountable as difficult as it is to put myself out there [emoji176][emoji175]

You look amazing and SKINNY!!!!![emoji176][emoji176][emoji176][emoji8]

You guys are sooooooo GRACIOUS!!!!! Thank you so much for the love and support!! [emoji175][emoji175][emoji175][emoji175][emoji175] I so appreciate you and how much every each one of you have inspired and encouraged me, you have no idea and words can't really express how I'm feeling. But thank you! Now let the floodgates of pics open [emoji23][emoji1][emoji1][emoji1]

I [emoji173] Ripple milk!!!!!!!!!!

What a great struggle to have!![emoji6][emoji119][emoji119] Not discounting your "struggle" though!![emoji13]

The epiphany of an obvious knowledge also occurred to me this week! Exercise makes me ridiculously HUNGRY!!!! Ding ding ding! How this knowledge eluded me depicts how one track minded wls has made me! This knowledge also truly gives credence to Dr. Vuong's video of waiting 6 months after surgery to start exercising! I was so rejecting of the idea that I didn't even contemplate the idea behind it. I'm spinning 5 to 6 times a week plus personal training and I get hungry and eat more and stalled. Experimented with no exercise, less hungry and lost weight this past few days!! Didn't mean to hijack the thread but it truly takes someone else's experience to validate what I need to tweak! Thanks [emoji176][emoji175][emoji176][emoji175]

Congratulations!!![emoji122][emoji122][emoji122][emoji122][emoji122][emoji123][emoji123][emoji123][emoji176][emoji176]
