WARNING ADULT PICS- Adding fuel to the fire, sorry...

LOL Curtsey.....why ty.

my gf says I am *****y and beautiful....ha ha.....most days...she is right.

Wooohooo...you look awesome!!

I am so happy for you! I wish I were one without the insulin issues. But you're right. It's dfferent for everyone.

Thank you Leah...you have made your sleeve work for you even with your insulin issues...that is what it is all about- everyone as an idividual- and you look fabulous!

Thanks. I am just one that won't lose weight if I don'****ch my carbs. But now that I am at goal I can eat more but I do have to watch my calories and blood sugar closely. And without the metformin I only lost 4 pounds in a month when I was still losing. I am thankful. 

I agree. It's all individual.

Hi Fawn,

Wow, you go girl.  I am so happy for you and so very proud of you...

If you can do it so can I:
-  It is soooooooooo easy to lose and to maintain
-  I eat carbs every single day
-  I drink diet coke, but not nearly as much as I used to
-  I eat junk food
-  If I behave, I lose
-  If I don't I go up, up to 2 lbs or stay the same
-  I don' t excercise as much as I did
-  I only get hungry if I go many many hours without food
-  I can eat 2 full pieces of pizza, I love every single bite of my food...
-  I can eat a whole large barrito
-  I can eat lots, but because I am so darn tall, I burn it all off
-  I am concerned if I behave when my parents leave, I will continue to lose
-  I orignally wanted to be at 140 lbs, so perhaps that is not a bad thing
-  I love and appreciate my body more than I ever every have
-  I have never ever maintained for this long, I always start gaining right away
-  I don't need plastics, even after losing over 80 lbs.  My 44 year old skin is doing amazing and I am so proud of it
-  I still have curves
-  I would like my boobs to be a bit bigger
-  I love life!!  I love clothes.  I love my hubby.  I love where I live.  Damn I am so happy I could burst.

Thanks for starting this post Fawn.  It feels so good to express and appreciate how fortunate we are.

I luv ya sweetheart!!  No need to hide that body and beauty!!
