Wow I Finally Look Skinny



Recommended Posts

112lbs lost as of this morning. I am 175. I looked in the mirror and said girl you look so skinny. I will make it to my goal of 160 by my birthday in January. Rocking 50 with a new me. You see with perseverence you can do it. It takes work. It takes dedication. Did I slip up ever? Yes I did and spent six months of ice cream fetishing but then I got myself back on deck and feeling very proud of myself now. I have not weighed 160 for 31 years since I gave birth to my son. Gonna get a tatoo for my birthday that says " I learned to be in love with myself" !

Congrats!! It does take a lot of perseverance and hard work. I laughed at the ice cream comment as I went through that too. You are doing great and can get to your goal.

That feeling of wow, is this really me. Hits so randomly sometimes.

BJL, I hope to get my first tattoo on my 50th next year! I am going to do an ankle Bracelet with my daughter and granddaughters name on it. I will be scared because i heard they hurt around that area, but I am going to do it!! My gift to myself!

Pattygirl.....I had wanted one for years but i was too embarrassed they are painful mainly when they go over bone and if u do color the shading. Mine start over my shoulder blade and run down to my lower back. But i tell u what as i laid there on that table It was worth the pain i wasnt embarrassed i felt renewed....It was my gift to myself. Good luck ladies ya'll will be getting ur tatoos i'd love to see pics of them when u do.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
