bwahahahahahaha
That is low blood pressure, wow! Mine rarely goes under 125/75 although I haven't checked it lately.0 -
I found a new line this morning. From the bottom of my breastbone / ribcage area, straight towards my belly button, is a new "dip" or line so faint I can barely see it.
This MAY be the start of a defined tummy. Although I'm not sure how I have abs if I have flab.7 -

@Panda_Poptarts - you know the abs just stay warm and fuzzy and hide out under the flab layer, right? That's why we don't turn into Jabba the Hut... LOL1 -

Good point. Should I have anything visible, though, this overweight? I dunno. Maybe I'm peeling away the warm winter blankies and my abby toes are hanging out? Hehe.0 -
I'd say definitely yes. Your burning that what, subcutaneous layer of fat? Whichever later it is that forms between your muscle and skin. as you lose that layer of fat, the skin will divet and dimple in some places, allowing you to see what's below...Sadly we can't control the areas!0

@KnitOrMiss True, true. I like this line. I tried to take a picture but it doesn't show up.
I've never ever seen tummy definition before. Such a new thing to be starting to notice!!3 -

oh boy I am looking forward to some of your things. @daylitemag when I started here last time you were starting too, am sorry now I dropped out for a while, you are SOOOOOOO far ahead. checking in everyday is what keeps me on track, last time I just slid back into carbs, not many I didn't gain weight but didn't lose anything either.2

I noticed my tummy fat is getting more jiggly (and oh so attractive. Hope it's preparing for a whoosh! 4

We've always had a rule for our kids that they can have one sugary treat a day, whether it's soda or dessert or juice.
The 12-year-old seemed very confused when I told him that genetics and diet contribute to diabetes, and that's why we don't let them have 3 desserts and 2 sodas a day.
His response was, "People eat 3 desserts in a day?" He seemed genuinely confused regarding how one would fit those in.
I chose not to tell him that I used to eat snickerdoodles and Sprite for breakfast...7 -

Gummy worms and Pepsi were my go to brekkie at 16. They were fat free after all!3
And it seemed like such a natural thing to do. Ignorance was bliss back them.
