125 (-2.4)! Unbelievable! I am at the top of my desired range now. I didn't think I'd lose much this week because I felt like I ate a fair amount more. I definitely had less wine than I was having in Aruba so maybe that's why. I knew my face and boobs shrunk this week (as they generally do in my last few pounds), but I thought it was more of an adjustment.

Tirzepatide really works! DH's sister was asking me about it. Her doctor won't prescribe it and her insurance company wouldn't cover the brand name even if he did. Plus I don't think she could afford the compounded versions. He has her on phentermine. But she was asking what was different with the Glp medications and I tried to explain how it removes that constant need to feel like you can't have what you want and that you don't feel deprived because you don't crave things and don't want to eat as much even though you do have an appetite. She couldn't even imagine what that would be like. Neither could I before VSG, and in the last few years before this medication.

Today we are not actively doing house projects. I got the last ones done yesterday, including putting a new door on the screen porch which went way smoother than I expected, packing the car to bring stuff to DH's house, and a final straightening of the garage now that all stuff has been discarded/moved/donated. Photos are Tuesday morning! SO I am driving DH to golf and going to his house with Justice while the housekeeper does a final cleaning of my house.

Time to get cracking! Have a facinorous Friday!

Rough night! I'm exhausted. I'm marveling at my mind's inability after nearly 40 years to not connect the dots of being super cranky and emotional (everyone else's fault), eating everything in sight (meds don't work), oily skin and hair (Michigan humidity), and gaining weight (meds don't work)... And then the answer rears its ugly head only to be forgotten until another month or in my current case, 2, passes and I again see ZERO connections between all those same dots. Ah, womanhood.

Upside, I am magically down 1.8 pounds today.

I'm not planning on doing anything constructive today. Definitely taking a nap though after that decidedly facinorous night...

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Feel better! Womanhood stinks sometimes...

Hormones can really take us for a ride!

Congratulations to the both of you on your delightful weight loss. And Liz, smaller boobs. I really want smaller boobs! I think that's another side effect of the Tamoxifen, they haven't reduced as much as they normally do with a 40 pound loss.

I start the long drive to get my hair cut and colored in a little while, so I'd better get some breakfast on board.

So weird - I hate when they are bigger but when I got under 120 I felt like they disappeared (and I wasn't used to that). I also hate having to buy new bras.

Boobs! Mine were so very deflated after I lost weight with the VSG that I got implants. I asked for a C (which is what I was before losing weight) but got a DD (too big, and now really too big!). I'll be anxious to see what the weight gain did to them and my arms (which I also got fixed ) when I get to goal weight. I never did get the tummy tuck I was planning on getting and now probably never will!

So I did the tummy tuck (which still looks fine) but not the other stuff in 2017. When my boobs were sorely deflated I used padded bras if I needed to fill something out a bit more - and I had these little pads that went in the bottom of my older bras so I could still wear them LOL.

I simply deflate, moving from melons(too big) to muffins and finally now, raisin cookies. Ahhh, well.
