I bought a couple of new things this weekend... YA'LL... I FIT IN TO A SZ 12 bottom (zip up and button sz 12)! I was in a 18/20 in January 2016.

I am a firm believer in you are your best advocate. Listen to your gut. Find acceptable alternatives. Find a practice that communicates to your comfort level and responds favorably to your kernel of knowledge. You not a trained professional endocrinologist... but you are a trained professional who should not be dismissed…

Thanks @KnitOrMiss - I am guilty of minimizing, for sure! No offense taken... and I am still celebrating my success with easy to peel, nearly perfect boiled eggs today! :)

Just became the proud owner of an Instant Pot. Tell me more about how long/process, etc. Thanks!

I just did this today... nice grab and go snack

I bought new bras that fit properly. Sounds goofy, I suppose, but it was quite a treat.

It's so creative... my first and last name.

@Karlottap - I had RNY surgery in 1999. My lowest weight following surgery was 190... my highest adult weight being 326 on the morning of surgery. Low carb has changed my life... I am certainly not perfect in the WOE/WOL... but it is working for me. Orig. SW in 1999: 326 SW Jan 2016: 233 CW: 171.8 (down from 175 :smile: )…

I have to find time to exercise today... for my body and my brain... my day is very full... I may be at the gym at 9pm doing some form of exercise... but it will happen!

My son did a "wax museum" report on Tesla last year for 3rd grade end of the year "here's what we learned" night as school... just by way of helping my boy research Tesla, I have to agree with you... he is quite fascinating... and I wouldn't mind joining in that meeting :)

I sure hope your gut ache goes away soon... only a toothache is worse than a gut ache that you can't resolve, IMHO.

Hi all! I'm Micki. I'm 49(well... i'll be 49 in a couple weeks anyway), divorced but reconciled and again living with my "wasband" (he was my husband but now he's not... get it?), son and 2 doggies. Our son is 9 years old (10 in October! STOP the growing kid!) and step-mom/grandma to a 34 y.o. son, his wife and twin 6 y.o.…

I'm Micki. I'm a 48 yr old mom of a 9 year old. I am divorced from, but have reconciled with, my "wasband" after being separated/living apart for a period of time. Like many here, my family always came first. After Christmas 2015, something in my brain changed... and I began taking care of me in addition to them. I have…

Hi everybody! I'm Micki. I live in AZ. I have recently lost 60 pounds with about 25 more to go... I'm actually shooting for a body fat % goal, so I'm trying to reduce body fat another 13-15%. I just started working with a trainer at my local gym, so I am anxious to start seeing the results of my hard work.

Job well done, friend! You should be SO proud of all you have overcome... as well as just what you overcame that morning to get there! :smile:

My go to snacks are cucumbers, red bell peppers, hummus and almonds. Plan your snacks just like your meals and you will succeed! :wink:

^ that! The one's who tell you that you are obsessed are not as dedicated to their health as you are and can't control their jealousy regarding that fact. Keep it up!
