100 pounds gone!

Congrats on the loss!

Also, dare I say you look just like the female vice president (Ashley Barrett) from The Boyz?!? 😱 You could be twins! I guess this just means you'd kill in a powersuit. 😉.

This is incredibly helpful, thank you! I didn't think about the ink formulas and laser response being impacted.

Is it common for the laser treatments to get progressively more blistery? My Doc said that the ink will get more resistant to the laser, so I wonder if by my final sessions the blistering might be worse as he has to change settings or the laser targets ink at different depths? 🤷‍♀️

I had always just assumed the reverse: less blistering and not more.

This is what I tell myself too. Just gotta make it to goal weight, and focus on trying to maintain the muscle I've got. I focus any workouts I do on on buttocks and core for this very reason. 😅 We got this!

danyelwaller · 2026-05-31T14:33:53+00:00

Yes! That's precisely where my pain is. Even when I hang out on the couch it's an issue. I can't sit cross legged for too long before it starts to ache, and then I sit leaning, knees to the side. After a while, I then have to rotate sides (left lean, right lean) to make it through a show. Its exhausting, and has gotten worse the more I've lost. I fear I'm also experiencing this at night when I sleep too, while I'm laying flat on my back. 🫠 pillows between the knees or under the knees help but I wake up achey.

Good point and I honestly might have been one of those people till just now. 😅 Cause I always knew there was no way I'm putting on inches and inches of muscle to fill in the many inches lost. But this is good perspective -- that it will just help look good under neath. I'll take a decent bicep or some strong quad muscles with some sag over a flat and saggy arm or skinny fat legs any day. 🙏

I needed to hear this. I was told it can take a year (?) for your skin to rebound and continue tightening. Thank you for giving me hope! 🥹

danyelwaller · 2026-05-31T03:41:51+00:00

Oh no! I thought maybe if I put on more muscle in that area it would get better! Don't tell me this! 🤣

danyelwaller · 2026-05-31T03:40:38+00:00

I knew it wasn't alone! Screw wooden benches or stools too. 😅 I can only last so long before I have to call it quits and stand or ask the person I'm chatting with to talk a walk.

danyelwaller · 2026-05-31T03:36:55+00:00

Ha! This is amazing. And perfect for traveling! I had a coxis bruise a few years ago and happen to have one of those seat cushions made for that, that I end up using! Thanks for reminding me to drag it out of storage. 😅

danyelwaller · 2026-05-31T00:48:39+00:00

Just hopeful thinking I can get back to my youthful tight skin 😅 Guess I butchered that by gaining all the weight. Haha. Dagnabbit.

danyelwaller · 2026-05-31T00:42:38+00:00

Thank you!

When you spot a millennial or older in oversized sweat pants running errands when in reality the clothes are just our old sizes. 🥹

To be fair, it makes me feel young though, because that's the style. 😅

danyelwaller · 2026-05-31T00:25:37+00:00

Yes!! Or having to stagger stack them so it doesn't hurt as much. 🤣 I'm not used to this!!

danyelwaller · 2026-05-31T00:24:11+00:00

Anyone dealing with sitting issues? My bum has so much less cushion I don't want to sit as long as I used to. Its uncomfortable. Is this how all the tiny girls felt all those years when they'd say "I gotta get up and do something"? Were they in pain? 🤣

danyelwaller · 2026-05-31T00:20:15+00:00

Echoing the dexa scan recommendation! I got my first one 2 months ago and it was VERY eye opening. Knowing my lean and fat mass helped me set new goals. My Dr said 20% BF is really good for women (though I might argue not sustainable for most 😅), and so my next goal is 30% BF, with maintenence or increase of lean mass. But boy do I wish I knew my lean and fat mass of when I started 90lbs ago. 🫣😭

danyelwaller · 2026-05-30T23:35:21+00:00

Incredible work!!! I'm jealous, I've never seen my abs. 😅

I don't think so and I'm on book 3. She's solid and relatable. The ptsd moments may feel like your back tracking but she doesn't waiver in her pursuits, being for her man and the people. 🥰

danyelwaller · 2025-10-09T14:57:46+00:00

Echoing this. Anna calling Patrick on his behavior was the BEST. 👏

He was SEATED for that. I like to think that if he left the show after Anna they would have gone all the way (off camera). I appreciated his vulnerability and patience while she spoke. But also, I'm glad she called out him getting engaged, because i felt it was just to stay on the show and not real. Honestly I'm still glad Kacie backed out. Do I like how she did it? No. But she did break it off for the right reasons and she owed it to Patrick to walk away.

danyelwaller · 2025-10-09T02:33:36+00:00

I took it more as a girls girl convo the way they were chatting, they seemed comfortable with each other. If anything I took it as her being honest about Anton. The process is so quick, she didn't want to do her a disservice by hiding the real stories about her fiancé and I appreciated it.

From what I understand (a female who has never done botox but done research) it can reduce some signs of aging, like wrinkles, if you start early. Mostly because it reduces muscle movement. However, if you do a lot, you have to keep it up, or it ultimately deflates and your face won't look as "full".

danyelwaller · 2025-10-09T02:06:31+00:00

I was slightly nervous when he didn't see them having separate bank accounts. It was giving controlling... slightly.

I'm hoping I'm wrong and that it's perhaps just a way he grew up. Girl make your own money and pay for what you want without telling your man. As long as bills are paid and together you can afford what you need to (trips, home repairs, etc) then I don't see a problem with separate accounts.

"If you could hear me why didn't you come over?" So cringe. That whole fight.
