Well Good EARLY Morning everyone! I had to catch a ride this morning and my driver starts early so here I am also! It is going to be a looooong day!! It's creepy being at work at this hour! I'm looking forward to the weekend even if they're forecasting an incredible amount of snow. Hopefully I can get the doggies out to play!

No real food plan today so I'll have to wing it. I have "leftovers" from the week.....snacks and bits of lunches that I didn't eat. It will all come together and if there isn't enough I can always go out and grab something.

I hope you all have a great day and cozy warm weekend!!

Take care.

I'm 58 in April so we aren't that far apart. I lost weight before surgery. I actually dropped 40 lbs just by cutting out pop and eating protein first and everything else after. I also cut my sugar intake down considerably before surgery so I did have a head start.

You're doing great!

I'm 5'2" tall. Underneath all that fat was a little person crying to get out. When my sister saw me at Christmas she was shocked at how little I am. Her comment was...."I never would have imagined your frame to be so small". Well neither did I! LOL But it is. I wear size 8 pants and small to extra small tops. My bra size went from a 46D to a 32A. Yikes!

And yes, I do have saggy skin but not as bad as I thought it would be. It could have been much worse. I don't have muffin top and my abdomen isn't too bad however I will be having plastic surgery sometime next year. I'm probably going to do a tummy tuck and abdominoplasty. I'm not going to touch my upper legs, I'm just going to have to live with it. No boob job either although I could use it. I am what I am at this point. If I can afford to do arms in the future I'll consider it but they're not too bad either.

I'm still kinda losing although I'm not trying. I dropped another pound the other day. I actually don't want to lose anymore. I think I look good the way I am.

It's been a ride that's for sure. I'm so glad I did it.

Thank you so much for posting this! As someone just starting the whole process, I often save moments where I wonder if what I'm gettimg myself into is overkill, or that maybe it won't work for me and I'm scared at what life is going to look like when I finally get to the place I've been dreaming of my whole life - but this post makes me super excited! I know it will be hard, but worth it!
