@gemwolf110 @AB0215 & @CindyJNC1963 - My PCP has referred me to a Boston Hospital Derm office for a consult on skin removal--- I have not yet to book it. I definitely have skin on my belly (if you haven't had children and you're young, Ash, thinking of you, may not be as brutal as an issue). My thighs are bad---and it makes bathing suit season suck--big time! Not sure I'll be cleared for a tummy tuck, etc. bc of my leg injury-- I am prone to clotting, so they may say it's too risky. Tummy tucks are the riskiest of the surgeries.
And as far as boobs go--- first things I lost😩🥺🙁😂 --I am pancake girl now--- more like flap jacks actually 😖😆😂😂😂....so don't complain about those--- I am tall with nil boobs--- damn, I miss those!! 😆🤣
@SLIMn2016 Actually, surprisingly, I'm still the same cup size, just smaller around. I don't know if it's diet or exercise related because I do weight train and the chest muscles are part of it, or if it's diet related since I am Keto....not sure, or even if it's genetics, I come from a long line of C and up cup sises so that could be part of it, either way, I'm particularly happy about that.
As for the skin, the belly is really the only thing right now that has excess skin, and one way to know if it's fat or loose skin is to pinch it and if it stays pinched, it's loose skin and if it goes back, it's fat, and mine does both, loose skin on top of still some remaining fat, but it definitely looks a little crazy, don't have a normal belly button anymore, and I'm not sure I ever will.
But as I've said before and this is probably because of the weight training, but my legs and arms are fine, just my belly. I've filled out a lot of what WOULD have been loose skin in those areas with muscle (and I'm particularly happy with how those areas look), but you can't really fill out your belly with muscle...so, there's that. And honestly, I'm not really sure that I'll be upset with my belly all said and done, but it's really hard to tell...I just don't know where I'm going to wind up there, I'm hoping it's a manageable amount, and I'll just leave it alone, but if it's at risk for infection, then I'll do the surgery, but only time will tell there.2 -

My youngest had a horrible night last night, and I really needed the extra hour of sleep this morning to function the rest of the day, so no workout today. My oldest is finally completely better and my middle daughter seems to be finally turning a corner. The baby also had a better day. Hopefully this will be the last big sickness this year!
As for success, I have a list of things I want to do that right now my body can’t do. When I can start checking things off my list, I’ll feel successful.
I also want to figure out how to be a good example for my girls. My mom instilled in me unhealthy ideas about weight and body image. I spent my early 20s smoking a ton of cigarettes and drinking black coffee all day. I was skinny, but not healthy. When I started eating like a normal person, I had no concept of when to stop and got into the habit of over eating. I also was self medicating my anxiety with over eating. So for part of me being successful, I want to provide a healthy example for my girls so they don’t end up almost 40 figuring out how to eat appropriately and appropriate amounts.
@Beckymomof3girls My mom always used to say that if she ever made it through a holiday with the 3 of us (2 girls and 1 boy) without one (or all of us) sick, she might keel over. Having more than one kid really makes it hard to get over being sick....hopefully you're over that hump...
A lot of the social culture in general sort of plays a role in what we have thought of as okay for most of our lives, and it's high time we change that culture, cupcakes for every celebration, finish everything on your plate, things like that...I think you're doing great and you will set a great example for your girls.1 -

Comments: Rest day, did walk on the treadmill for 30 mins and 15 mins on the elliptical, feeling a bit sore in my calves, so I took it a little easier today, will pick it back up tomorrow.4 -
@Beckymomof3girls, @SLIMn2016, @AB0215, @gjaholy33 thank you all so much for the Birthday wishes!! I am hoping to celebrate 57 on a beach somewhere warm wearing a bikini showing off my sexy mature and much-earned body. Here is to a year of fitness and controlled healthy eating. I am an emotional eater so this is going to be very hard for me.2

Daily post for Wednesday 3/6
Traxk: yes
Calories: yes, under
Exercise: lots of stairs at work, and got my 100 squats in
Water: about 120 oz
Since it was Ash Wednesday, I thought I would take advantage of the fasting and push myself a little bit. I have been over eating just enough to be about maintenance instead of losing.
I would eventually like to try IF again.
Just waiting till I am fully recovered from the flu. Still not there yet....2 -

@genajonas I take it a little at a time, break it up into chunks. Like 4-12 weeks at a time, that way I don't feel like it's really that long. You got this, you will be enjoying that next birthday on a beach in that much deserved bikini!!1 -

@tinak33 Hang in there, it's a challenge when you're not sick, but it's damn near impossible when you're sick...you have to take care of your body first. You will get there, and my suggestion is to build up to it, little by little when you're feeling better.1 -

Previous Weight: 162.9
Current Weight: 161.0
Finally some movement! I think the fasting yesterday helped, too. Not something I can do often, but might be something I could do a couple days a week.
I have an event at the end of March (The Ugly Disco) and I want to be in the 150s by then. I can definitely do it, but I would like to get as close to 155 as possible by then!
This is my March goal.

Saw the nutritionist today.
She does not recommend doing keto. She said to keep doing carbs under 100 gms for the day, and To keep my fat under 50 gms for the day. She helped me set my goals and macros here on the app so that was helpful. She also gave me some reading material. Next appt is in a month.6 -

I'm glad you're seeing a nutritionist I find it's better to work with someone rather than do it alone.0 -

👏🏾still going down a pound at time.
Sorry for the delay and I wasn't able to measure yesterday or today so I will just wait to next week and start measuring every other week. I still need to drink more water which I found out yesterday when I went to take my drug test which just proves me right to those nay-sayers who said I was drowning myself; I love when I'm proven right but not in this instance of course . . .LOL!5 -

Worked long hours the last two days, so I have missed workouts. Trying to finalize stuff at work before I go on staycation next week. I have been mindful of my eating habits, and stayed under calories.

Made teriyaki chicken and broccoli for dinner. Didn’t make rice. My family had carbs but I just had a big bowl of meat and veggies. So good! And I’m under 100 g for carbs today! Not necessarily a goal I’m aiming for, I’m usually 110-120, but it’s still good to have some low days! Protein is just so much more filling and has staying power!1
