HI friends :)

I just realized another NSV while I was driving the car today ....

I could actually tilt the wheel down!!

AND

I had to slide the seat up!!!

Seems all the cushion I've lost off my rear was holding me up and pushing me forward !! LOL

OMGOSH

Waahoooo!!

Just had to share with those who understand !!!

The car is really where I notice my weight loss the most. So much room in my bucket seats, had to move the seat forward, barely feel the seat belt.

Congrats!

I realized something was working when I was getting out of the car...grabbed my bag, passed it over me and then got out of car. Then it hit me, I have not done that since I left the army. My gut would have stopped me from doing that in years past. Thanks WLS, for my next magical trick... ;-)

Agreed on the fun car comfort discoveries.

I used to think my little midsize 4WD was too small.

Now it feels much larger.....except the legroom is still marginal.

I'm interested in finding out how all this translates over to airline seats.........

You nailed it there. You are going to hop on those flights and have zero trouble. Wouldn't surprise me if you don't do it quite often after that.

I detest flying for several reasons....airports.....long tsa lines......etc. The biggest reason....is my big arse in those seats. Legroom likely isn't any better but the overall fit will have to be.

For me it was when i dropped my on the floor and i leaned down between my legs and picked it up off the floor without an issue. It wasn't till i was done that i realized what i did. Before I would have had to wait for the car to stop get out and then get it.

And no i wasn't driving, i was a passenger!

Every summer since 2008 (except 2015, when I had WLS), I've flown to Florida to Celebrate my birthday. Girlfriends fly in from all over; sometimes it's just a couple of us, one time it was almost 30 of us.

In recent years, I have been flying first class (although on some airlines I still couldn't put the tray table down). I scrimp in other areas to afford it. I simply didn't want the humiliation of not fitting into a regular seat anymore.

So I booked my summer 2016 flights already. I debated with myself... regular seat... first class... hmmm, what to do? I splurged and I'm going first class, this time because I CAN, not because I have to! And I'm looking forward to no more seat belt extender!

With you Dub. My next biggest pet peeve, people who are five foot nothing who lean back with a vegence and I don't have time to get my knees out of the way.

I was on the verge of an extender when I started this journey, look at my "extra now" ;-)

Oh yeah.....the "lean back fast" folks......almost forgot about them. I'd like to reach over the seats and put 'em in headlocks or armbars.

Awesome pic, right there. You've cured your need for any such device as a seat belt extension !!!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
