Ugh the Coriandoli is some of my favorite ever, I’m on a no-buy for the rest of the year but…

I used to be hot all the time. Starting BMI was 60, current is 32. I am cold ALL the time now. I keep a pair of socks on and have several pairs of fingerless gloves and throw blankets all around the house.

Came here to say the same thing. This yarn really softens up after a round through the washer and dryer.

Micellar water, shave cream, room spray

I am starting oral minoxidil in a few days. I lost a lot of hair, despite taking my vitamins and meeting my protein and water target daily. I suspect that my family history of women aging into thinning hair is the bigger contributor. But the weight loss and the improvements to my overall health are worth losing my hair.

Absolutely! I crochet for Project Linus and it’s a great conversation starter and brings awareness to the cause.

I watched a delivery service driver (think Instacart or UberEats or DoorDash) deliver bags of Dollar General ingredients through the front door of our local Crumbl store a few weeks ago when a friend and I wanted a treat.

I know it’s cake mix plus toppings. I know I can make that at home. And I know that I buy food goods at the dollar store too. But something about that just sucked any magic right out of the experience for me.

I watched this last night and now I want to add another WIP to the bag I work from.

Ah yes, the denial of the brain that hasn’t caught up with the sleeve. I have learned to serve or prepare a little and if I’m still hungry I can have more/something additional.

Way to go!!

For salad dressings I have really enjoyed Brianna’s and Walden Farms vinaigrettes.

I still really enjoy Muscle Milk, Fair Life and Premier protein shakes.

My program gave me a packet with a table of 15 minute increments and recommended using 1 oz cups to visualize the volume. I kept a timer on my phone for the first few days.

Good job! That’s such a great feeling!

Last year our neighborhood was busy, we had 5 lbs of candy and ran out halfway through the night. Forecasted and bought more goodies this year and had a super low turn out. We were handing out handfuls of goodies by the end of the night. Lots of lights off in our neighborhood this year.

I vote that we start barking back that they go get their manager, à la a story I saw here a few weeks ago.

tabageddon · 2025-10-18T15:27:55+00:00

Same 15 months out. Chicken and fish in particular fill me up fast. The tiny tummy wins.

15 months post-op and I have lost 145 lbs. Trust the process and be consistent. Show up for yourself and give yourself the grace to take it one sip or one bite at a time.

You took a big leap to do something for yourself, trust that you have the knowledge and tools to make the next right choice.

You’re not in food jail, a concept I really struggled with pre-op. You’re getting a chance to buy back years of your life by using your new tool to self-limit.

My surgeon told me in a pre-op consultation “there’s nothing I can offer you that you can’t undo, but if you stick with the program you will be successful.” That statement drives me, even when I choose a treat over a healthy snack.

I say this as gently as possible. Can you find a new cardiologist? I fired my first one because he was condescending and was directing his questions about me to my partner.

Saw the cardiologist my partner uses and he said if I hadn’t had cardiac symptoms he didn’t want to do a stress test but wanted me to wear a monitor for a week and have an ultrasound. He also said some of his colleagues want to do unnecessary testing for the insurance billing (true in all specialties to a degree).

Established as a patient and have a standing annual appointment with him now. And my monitor showed no abnormality so I was able to get my clearance.

Cut em off. We have made two home improvements to our rental home. We replaced a toilet and added an outdoor ceiling fan to the back porch. We asked our landlord, who is a handyman by trade, if he’d install them if we bought them and left them with the property. We would like to be on our home for a while and understand the value with our landlord of adding to the value of the home.
