I bought one of my favorite dresses from ModCloth when it recently went on sale. I had this in red in a 3x, and wore it all the time. I gave that one away in June. This one is a size L. And it gives off a totally different vibe for some reason.

Oooh, I’ve been eying their coats! Maybe it can be my goal reward.

I've waited for a 25% discount and got both the Patera and Centrale. 😷

They have awesome clothes IMO but one definitely has to wait for a discount, lol. What coat do you wanna get?

I don’t know! I’m thinking I’ll wait until REI has their member sale and I get my dividend. I tried some on in the airport at Denver, and they were real real nice.

Part of the deciding factor is which ones hit me right, I have a short torso and huge hips/ass. So things that are designed to hit at a waist lower then mine run into some, umm issues. I’m thinking a lightweight down packable style, though. Something waterproof, because, uh, I live in Western Oregon.

I’m also planning on getting a new ultra light sleeping bag, too. I made my other one when I was bigger, because standard ones were uncomfortable. But, it was never as warm as what some of the ones that are available are.

The Parkas are both waterproof. Down/Primaloft and GoreTex. They're definitely lightweight compared to their size but not packable. They need room.

Maybe you want to invest money in simply a GoreTex shell and size it up so you can layer?

I got a bit tired of layering so I wanted something that goes down to the knees and doesn't require wearing more than a light sweater and jeans beneath even in colder conditions. Plus I wanted something that looks more urban style.

That makes sense. A long coat for daily stuff would be good. The packable one is more for hiking and backpacking. I think the only clear solution is that I need 2!

That's exactly what I think as well! 😁

Everyone is looking fabulous. Tonight I was cooking dinner and my daughter wanted a picture of her 4-H sewing project. So she snapped a picture of me cooking dinner.

Meh. I do love jewelry and I now love shoes, though.

Okay, I'll edit this. I have a nice Garmin for hiking/running and my apple watch. Those I do love. LOVE. Even though I constantly forget to recharge them.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
