Hello all! We had a wedding last weekend. First time dressing up in a while.

It has been 7 months, and 2 days since my WLS.
I finally hit my GOAL when weighing in this morning. I have never been this small in my adult life.
It is such a great feeling, knowing that everything I worked for up to this point has been worth it.
My ONLY regret is that I didn't do this 10 years ago.
I have lost 81 lbs., went from a size 20 jeans, now in a size 6, (I posted a few days ago that I was a size 8, but my new jeans were actually too big, and I had to get a size 6).
I am sooooooo happy!!! 😄😄😄😄😄

Headed out to a last minute late night happy hour

Not sure I see a scenario where I’d actually wear this, but it’s fun to try on! Found cheap on Shein.

work day. OMG I need a tan.... but I can't do the tanning bed anymore.... Anyone use self-tanner that they can recommend...???
Yes the skirt is now too big... and my boobs keep growing.....OMG WTF

this is my experience. i definitely lost a lot of strength in the first year. i knew this would happen tho. i still lifted and did crossfit but the strength definitely went quick. i was also eat 800 cals until i got to my goal weight. Once i got there i knew i wanted to add muscle. So with help from my nutrionist, i SLOWLY added calories. Right now i eat around 2800-3000 a day. But i work out 6-7 days a week and theyre usually intense workouts with 2 running/biking days. It takes time and definitely can be done but dont rush it. Hope this helps!

How you doin'?... 😁

What a lovely pxt @ANewJourneyAwaits. You’re gorgeous. Congrats on your weight loss so far too.
Went to a launch of some new labels at my favourite shoe store last night. Crab meat finger sandwiches (not for me though) & Pol Roger champagne. It was a really good night. 😁 Wore my new low rise Vegan leather pants & gold sandals from one of the new labels. Got a special preview earlier in the week before anyone else did & they let me buy them. Yes! Just had to fib a little & say I bought them just before the launch event started.

One more. This dress used to be too tight after I gained so much weight back and I stopped wearing it. Also my arms used to look like hulk arms.

Tried it on to go walking around a small but lovely city (socially distanced and with masks of course, just took it off for the photo) and it fit like a dream. Size 16. Also my arms aren’t looking like hulk arms anymore. This is the first pic in a long time that Im actually okay with.

I lost 6lbs this week, so I’m 59lbs down. Almost to 60 gone forever.

Okay, now going to sleep. Love this thread and seeing everyone’s outfits. Such inspiration and well dressed people.

I've been a gym rat since the gyms opened back up last September. I added muscle mass and had to go up in shirt size. I still love putting clothing combinations together all the way down to the shoes.

It’s been a minute.... but a return of the airport bathroom mirror pic 😂

Hey Silly Kitty. Lovely to hear from you again. Love those pink leggings - very Spring.
We’re in lockdown again in Brisbane. Just three days but everyone’s gone crazy at the supermarkets again. I don’t understand it. Didn’t a lot of people just do their weekly shop on the weekend?? How can they be out of food already?
Anyway, my friend’s daughter just got her hen’s do in. She had an 80s theme - that family lives a good dress up opportunity. The bride’s friends bought her a just lovely 80s wedding dress plus the ubiquitous floral headdress, synthetic fabric, leg of mutton sleeves & lace inserts. 😂 The Princess of Wales has a lot to answer for. No 80s for me. Been there. Wore the clothes. But my dress did have shoulder pads - coincidence though.

Hi, how’s it going? You all look absolutely gorgeous 😍
Starbucks Bathroom Selfies: the return of the vegan leather jacket. This is before a 4” haircut, it’s been too long for a while.

once i was cleared i got after it pretty hard. just make sure to get your Protein, Water and Vitamins in.

im off all meds i was on before surgery. and it took about a month for my doc to get me off everything

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this post. I too took the lifting route. i do it through crossfit. But it has done wonders for my body!! it has so many benefits when done correctly and will only help us as we get older. Congrats to you on your success!!

Down 238 pounds. How are you all doing on your journey?
