@@Dub Thank you! As are you my friend! I I thought about not using this picture but then I though oh well! I eat candy! I eat "bad" things or whatever you want to call them. I'm normal, I'm not perfect and I'm still at goal. I was a busy mom yesterday. I took what I could get!

Absolutely.

Clearly you are in a new phase now and need calories to maintain. Can't be going around starving. I get it.

Looking forward to reaching that point some day down the road, too.

@@glitter eyes Thank you! Tiny is word I've never been associated with. Nothing has ever been tiny about me. Not my body, and defiantly not my mouth!

I can't take all the credit. My surgeon is a miracle worker. He made my sleeve perfectly small. It's the exact same as it was a year ago. I still eat the same amount of food that I did back then. I still have days of no hunger. We all know I didn't exercise but maybe 4 times so it's his magic hands that saved me. If I wasn't married I'd kiss his face right off! He's so modest about it all too. He has no idea how much he's blessed my life. ❤️

Thank you. It's powerfully motivating seeing folks reach their goal weight and thrive there as you have done.

Pic was taken about a month ago was outside goofing around with my son.

It is going to feel great to reach that point where I remind myself to eat more to keep from losing weight. Wild concept to get my mind wrapped around considering it's been the other way for so long.

@@Dub I actually think it was easier losing weight than it is trying to remind myself that I need to eat and not just junk. I've been on a junk diet for a few weeks now that I'm not proud of but I keep losing. I finally had my husband buy me some shakes again to get my Protein. I'm trying to be diligent about eating right. I've just never been a person who could eat what they want and not gain. For whatever reason I'm able to do that right now. I ate chocolate silk pie (a lot) and till dropped half a pound. I weigh myself more now than I ever have because I haven't been eating right just to make sure I don't gain and I haven't. I'm no fool, I'm sure this won't last forever so time to stop the crazy!

That is wild.

Maybe you've simply amped up your metabolism to a very high level ?

@@Dub I don't know. I told my husband I hope I don't have cancer. He tells me to shut up but seriously! I can't explain it either. I have a friend that had gastric bypass and literally lives on mini Peanut Butter cups (they have to be the mini) and I mean bags of them! She's tiny. I worried about her and she had it done years ago and now here I am doing the same damn thing! Well not peanut butter cups but odd eating! It just seems like "bad" foods go down so much easier! meat is a process, while I can eat it it just sits in there forever! I can eat everything. I did get 1/2 a Protein Shake in, 1/2 an egg and 1/2 of a 1/2 of a biscuit with gravy for Breakfast so I'm doing ok this morning!

Good deal on this morning.

So true how the carb heavy stuff is easier to eat. The meats are really something to tackle.

My most recent discovery on "bad stuff"......was a single slice of thin crust pizza. It took forever to eat 2/3 of it and I didn't like the way it felt sitting there. No thanks. No desire.

I would have bet anyone....any amount of money that I was a pizza-for-life dude a year ago. Funny turn of events.

      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.
