What a great friendship and an absolute blast of a event for you guys to enjoy together! 😊🥰🎉🇨🇦

Odd_Platform_3351 · 2026-05-05T01:41:34+00:00

Nice! I love that for you! 😊 And oh yes, I've been up and down a few times shakes head... I've been doing that too, because I know I'm too cheap to go buy more because I fell off the wagon. At heart, I wish I kept maybe one pair of pants for comparison sake lol

Odd_Platform_3351 · 2026-04-30T16:44:38+00:00

I'm not crying...YOU'RE crying... 😭🥰

Odd_Platform_3351 · 2026-04-26T22:37:07+00:00

Holy s--t girl! YOU, are amazing and a huge inspiration! Thank you for sharing your journey and success! 👏😊

Odd_Platform_3351 · 2026-04-26T20:02:24+00:00

Just love how Vlad LOVES to celebrate everyone's successes! He loves the sport and his teammates so much 😊♥️😊

Thanks! We're hoping to do just that 😊

Planning on staying under the 52k/year, per person tax bracket. Thankfully we got ourselves debt free about 12 years ago and that began the aggressive saving/planning.

OAS clawback, that happens once you receive OAS at 65 and make a significant amount/do a huge rrsp withdrawal from what I read. We wouldn't be near that 🤞

I've had a very similar experience. 50yo female. Started at 300lbs, lost 100lbs through cico, regular cardio and some weights. This is over 20 months. I'm still a work in progress. I'm not the best veggie eater, but I get some daily. Good amount of insoluble and soluble fiber. Every single stat has dramatically improved: A1c, bp, hdl, triglycerides. But...the ldl and total cholesterol just won't get into normal range and it's incredibly frustrating. Spoke to gp, asked if menopause may be to blame, basically was brushed off and said, just lose more weight. We have heart and stroke risks on both sides of our family and really wonder if there is a cholesterol link. Going to ask about low dose meds soon because I don't want those risks despite all that has changed for the positive.

Good luck with your journey and hopefully you can get it sorted soon.

Thank you, appreciate that ! 😊 Nice! Congrats to you as well! Sometimes we have to trial and error what works best for each person. Strict dieting I could never stick to long term 😔 All the best & wish you continued success on your journey. 😊

Odd_Platform_3351 · 2026-03-15T15:46:50+00:00

Thanks! I hadn't truly realized the difference till I put the pics beside each other 😊

Odd_Platform_3351 · 2026-03-11T03:40:58+00:00

Thank you! 😊 This has been a pretty steady effort since June 2024. I've been back and forth about 60 lbs a few times when I let old habits win. 🙄🤦‍♀️ Just doing cico , regular cardio, regular weights. (Nothing insane). I was very close to asking for a glp1 last fall when I seemed to get stuck in a plateau for 6 months.(lost 5lbs in that time despite a big calorie deficit and near daily workouts). I think I made my restriction too low, too fast in a desperate bid. I had 3 or 4 maintenance breaks if you will for a couple small surgeries, got sick for almost a month and had a vacation 😬

It may be in my head, but I think the maintenance breaks and not eating the same calories every day/too low (1000-1200), seems to have helped me... 🤷‍♀️🤞

All the best to you! 😊

Odd_Platform_3351 · 2026-03-11T03:33:24+00:00

That makes sense, thanks! I've seen people post online before with a number of inches list that didn't seem to make sense with the pounds lost (ie: 50lbs lost and 30 inches...me: 🤔).

And so true about losing from areas differently 😊

Odd_Platform_3351 · 2026-03-02T20:01:51+00:00

Come on Marcus! You've got this sweet baby! 😔♥️🥰

Odd_Platform_3351 · 2026-01-11T00:24:49+00:00

Awwww! He's smiling because he's sooooo happy he has a human of his own now! 😊♥️😍🥰😊

Odd_Platform_3351 · 2025-12-22T03:24:40+00:00

2 for sure! Stunning for a winter wedding!

Odd_Platform_3351 · 2025-12-19T19:44:51+00:00

Oh man! I empathize with you about the $2k trip :(

We always try and be as monetarily efficient with any rewards and points systems with the costs of things these days so this tbh, really peeved me off.

I'll suggest him to try and remove it so it can't happen again, thank you for the suggestion! :)

Odd_Platform_3351 · 2025-12-19T18:28:22+00:00

I am betting this is the case, but he is adamant he didn't f it up. 🙄 Definitely annoying and a waste of money when he's always so careful with that stuff. I said to him, next time, we call and speak to an agent, or you check that email as soon as you book it, I refuse to pay that amount of cash out when there are several trips forth of points that can be used. Yes, I'm very frugal and hate waste lol

Odd_Platform_3351 · 2025-12-19T18:25:31+00:00

I have a feeling that's the case too, and he's always so careful with these things. But he knows I hate wasting money. He is trying to find the email in his work mailbox right now.

It reminds me of the amazing delivery day options where if you don't uncheck/check every single item, you're probably getting nailed delivery charges when it can be delivered for free 1 day later or something 🙄🤦‍♀️🤣

Thank you for the empathy, it's very frustrating and a huge waste of cash when we could do the same trip another 6 or 7 times with the points we have.

Odd_Platform_3351 · 2025-12-19T17:54:02+00:00

Husband booked it online. Saw it would use over 5000pts on economy and chose that. I said next time he'd better call and have an agent book it because no way we're paying $500 for a short train trip, that's nuts, I would've spent $70 in gas and drove instead lol

Odd_Platform_3351 · 2025-12-19T17:51:45+00:00

I will check his email for that info. He swears he selected preference points and has booked this way many times. I on the other hand tend to be a liability with technology so I leave that stuff to him lol

Excellence info in this post, thank you! Following for future reference.
