Thanks everyone for your support. It feels amazing! And my computer is funky with this website so I can't see who said they liked my handbag, but funny story..... I got it on clearance at TJMaxx and by the time I went to use it my coworker pointed out that the hinges were broken :( So I jerry-rigged them with paperclips!!! LOL. My beautiful, macguyver handbag :P

Can I ask a question? Do you have loose skin after losing so much weight?

Thank you everyone! To whomever asked abotu the loose skin, I do have some but I consider myself very blessed... it is minimal. I notice it most on my lower stomach, but I also had a 9lb 5oz baby boy with excess amniotic Fluid... so I cannot blame being overweight entirely for that.

And then for my arms, it is amazing what light weghtlifting will do for loose skin! DO IT!!!!! I also have some on my inner thighs and hips, but it is not "that" noticeable in my opinion. I definitely think I would be tinier if I didn't have it, but again, not complaining!!!

And as for how I did it: diet, exercise, and medical intervention (I was on phentermine for 2 months midway through the year). But the past 3 months or so I have been very good about going to the gym, doing both cardio AND weights, and just eating pretty well.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
