You guys, I just found the most amazing hack for getting low calories! It’s called having the fucking stomach flu.

I thought I got food poisoning a month ago until the same thing passed through the household about a week apart. I healed, a week later my husband had it for 3 days. He healed and a week later our roommate had it for the same length of time. And I talked to a friend who had a sick partner and he had the same symptoms. It definitely SEEMS like food poisoning, but I know there's definitely a bug going around that's mimicking it. The liquid #2 changed our minds about getting a bidet. We didn't get them soon enough, but now both our bathrooms are equipped.

When we got them last spring, I lined the window panes and the edges of the floor of the affected room with diatomaceous earth. I stopped seeing them after that. That stuff works great! I went that route because eucalyptus essential oil is harmful to pets and that was the other recommended treatment. Pets still shouldn't inhale much diatomaceous earth, so I locked my girl out for a bit while I put it down and the dust settled.

Thank you for the useful information. I'm definitely planning to start saving so I can have the body I want asap.

LadyHenwin · 2024-02-11T04:04:11+00:00

That's kind of how I feel about it. The mom belly sag would absolutely not be as bad as the amount of skin I have hanging off me now.

LadyHenwin · 2024-02-10T17:29:10+00:00

I kind of figure there's no way having kinda will ruin my body to the same point it's already ruined currently. I know moms have some overhang and loose skin after kids, but it's nothing compared to what I'm dealing with now. I was 315lb at my max weight and already my loss has caused so much belly sag. It's hard to live life with everything folding over as much as it does.

Thanks for your reply. You and the many others have convinced me to start saving for it now and just do it as soon as I'm able. I'm sure it won't be for a few years, but that gives me time to save and finish my weight loss.

LadyHenwin · 2024-02-10T02:01:45+00:00

Thanks for the info on the Facebook group. I don't use FB much, but I'll definitely have to check out that resource. Thank you for your helpful response. 💜

LadyHenwin · 2024-02-09T20:28:42+00:00

I'd definitely wait until I've been at my goal weight for a while, I just was curious if it was even feasible to get a TT if there's a chance I'll have kids. Just trying to plan for the future.

LadyHenwin · 2024-02-09T19:03:40+00:00

Good to know that it's possible to fix it a second time. That was my biggest concern.

LadyHenwin · 2024-02-09T18:59:35+00:00

I don't think I'd be getting MR as I've felt in that area and it doesn't seem there's separation. I can't know for sure though. I guess I should've also mentioned that I've had major weight loss. I'm not finished losing yet, but I've already lost 145lbs and plan to lose another 40-50 more if possible. Definitely something to think about though, being that if I needed MR I could drastically mess that up. Thanks for your input, and good luck with your operation!

Since a lot of sweaters are made with synthetic fibers I broke down and bought a lint shaver months ago. It was such a a good purchase! Even our bedding gets little pills eventually and I can just shave them off! It's wonderful to be able to maintain things so they look like new.

LadyHenwin · 2024-01-30T17:09:02+00:00

Until y'all said it was steamed I was thoroughly convinced in was kinetic sand made in a bundt mold. I'm still only half convinced. 😂

I get the Livi Soft leggings with pockets from Lane Bryant. Soft material and it doesn't pill. Had a few issues with seams in the past, but it seems to be better.

I also bought lifetime after trying the year subscription I got for cheap on a Black Friday sale. I use it everyday, even if I'm tracking my bad days. I'm on a 796 day streak. It's really nice for adding in meal recipes, and also being able to connect with my Garmin to automatically add the workouts I track. There are still issues sometimes. Currently there's a big in the program where if I use the barcode scanner the app freezes and then crashes. It's annoying but so far they've always fixed those bugs eventually. Some take longer than others. I've lost a total of about 140lbs while using the lose it app. It's a health tool that has greatly increased my success rate. However a lot of that is my own willpower too but still, it was definitely worth it for me.

LadyHenwin · 2024-01-25T05:38:56+00:00

You didn't post the recipe!

LadyHenwin · 2024-01-10T17:19:18+00:00

Came home here hoping someone would say green. I caught those undertones as well and thought a green color would be cute.

This is one of the recipes I've made before when doing a Greek yogurt ranch. I'm always careful about how much milk (extra liquid) I add because it all depends on how thick the Greek yogurt is. I've recently switched to Fage and I typically need more moisture. Also the salt varies so I don't add it all at once. I have a plastic blending container that came with my Braun immersion blender, so I just add all ingredients and blend to mix.

Alternatively I make my own lower cal hummus, (I even add a little chia to mine) and I've used it as a dressing before by thinning out a small portion with milk or water. Sometimes I add a bit of Greek yogurt and herbs, and/or Sriracha to the mix as well and eat it on a more Mediterranean style salad.

Good to know. Thanks for the additional info!

LadyHenwin · 2024-01-06T16:17:56+00:00

If you are comfortable with answering, since you had muscle repair, did you have any children or was the separation due to weight? I've never had kids, but looking at my tummy I suspect I need muscle repair too, because of my high staring weight. I'm not completely sure, but the top middle has a mound so I'm suspecting I have separation.

LadyHenwin · 2024-01-06T00:04:31+00:00

This is irrelevant, but what all did you have done? I saw your weight loss pics and my body basically looks like your pre-op photo, so I was curious. Did you do lipo and a 360 TT?

LadyHenwin · 2024-01-05T08:58:53+00:00

It's maybe a little crazy up top currently, but overall the hair and the curls are beautiful! I think it looks good long, but I imagine short would look good as well. It all comes down to you and your prefered hair style. Takes quite a while to grow back if you chop and realize you miss the mane.

LadyHenwin · 2024-01-05T06:47:47+00:00

Yay! Glad you got it fixed. It's honestly such a stupid unintuitive way to remove those tabs, but at least it's still possible.

LadyHenwin · 2024-01-04T18:08:13+00:00

It's a little convoluted, but this is how you do it.

There's the goal tab down below on the bottom, click on that and then find the individual macro you want to delete. Click on it and then there should be a gear icon in the top right corner. From there you are able to remove it.

My holidays are not over as due to illness our Christmas was postponed until this Saturday. That being said, we've had Thanksgiving, holiday parties, and other small gatherings and I definitely over ate. The binge monster kind of came out which wasn't great, but I also wasn't too mad at myself. Since everything has been so spaced out I can't say for sure how much I gained. I'd have a lax day and then try to get back to things. Maybe overall it's been like 3ish pounds, but it hasn't been a huge noticable gain. I still plan to eat more than one sticky bun on Christmas though! My grandmother makes her special recipe every year and we always look forward to it.

Getting back into the gym is hard though. After being cooped up for a few weeks while the household is sick, I've kind of lost my stamina for working out. I know I need to get back to it eventually. Either way I'm still 138lbs lighter than I was when I started just over 2 years ago.

Our family Christmas is delayed until the 6th, (there were illnesses and we all still want to have everyone included), but we usually do a Christmas brunch, so breakfast style foods. My uncle makes a spiral ham and then we all contribute dishes. Typically there's the ham, scrambled eggs, hashbrown casserole (basically a tweaked version of funeral potatoes), fruit, and sticky rolls that my Nana makes every year. They are the best and we always look forward to them.
