Oh my gosh. It is so frustrating. I haven’t been on in 2 days. I just now went through the website to get on.


Yeah, if it wasn’t for my pad, I’d be offline on this site for now.
I mean I don’t understand how anyone navigates the website. I can’t seem to find anything and it was taking me forever.
*sigh

BTW, I love that outfit! Looks like you’ve lost inches even if the scale shows the same weight

Anymore I’m starting to feel like Gollum most days.

Omg! I KNOW!!! My preciouses! *snort* And to add insult, they shaved a 1 1/2 in crop circle in mine on Friday. So it's even more "special." ha!

Yeah you are right...though there have been days in the past couple months where I definitely achieved a calorie surplus, they may not have been often enough (and the surplus calories were not of the good kind). And in all honesty, I probably don't do enough effective butt exercises anyway, I'm like mad when I'm doing them.

But yes, so long as my saggy butt jiggles in the wind (or I get butt implants), I'll keep doing these effing squats, leg lifts and butt-bridges. Can't hurt. But I won't be happy about it.

Yeah, they are no fun. I’m doing Strong Curves, by Brett Contreras. So many glute bridges :( But, honestly, right now it’s a race to see if I lose my tummy before my butt. I have no idea. They are both doing that loose/jiggly fat thing that happens as the fat cells loosen up. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m in unchartered territory right now as far as my weight is concerned. I honestly have zero clue about how my body will look at the end. Right now I’m not excited about more surgery (plastics), but I’m open to it. We’ll just see how this goes.

Yup same boat here.
All of my fat everywhere is really super squishy where it used to be hard as a rock.
In some areas it’s hard to tell the difference between fat and skin. (I’m looking at you upper arms!).

Happy Monday!!! I’m in desperate need of a double shot latte this morning. That’s the first thing to do once I get to town before work. I hope you all have a great week. We have a chance of rain today, so it’s boot weather.

Happy Fall! Look forward to the cooler season approaching of fun jackets, jeans and layers in all new sizes. Here's two new outfits. Business meet past Friday, and brunch on Sunday. Wishing I could borrow a few inches from everyone or do you think one of those medieval stretchers might work!? Frustrated to see obesity written in summary notes of a new knee surgeon I saw last week for injured knee. ;\ I loath that in my medical charts! Working diligently toward my final goal and a normal range BMI which is 25 pounds away. Saddened to see the general medical community continues to evaluate solely upon - and defines their patients by possibly antiquated and simplistic charts? No doubt, as ms.sss says our wrinkled fabric (love that description!) aka. loose skin certainly adds a few extra pounds? Any thoughts here? I took my jacket off here for your eyes only... as my upper arms feel like they could weigh a pound each? Not to mention, the tummy, rear and thigh wrinkled fabric. I wonder after major plastics - if anyone has experienced a natural reduction in weight after excess skin removed? Seems logical.

Everyone looks so nice! I’m looking forward to cool weather, it’s been mild here so far.

Baby steps, no navy blue in my shirt today.

This outfit is so flattering on you! Love it!!! Is it a top and skirt? I found the gold leather jacket at a consignment shoppe. I could hardly believe the sleeves were not too long and it fit perfectly. A classic. Should work well with blue jeans, too.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
