Fitting the old outfit is better validation than any scale number.

The self-image lag is real - the body changes faster than the brain catches up to it.

Muscle gain alongside fat loss is why the visual doesn't track the scale number. Recomposition while lifting makes 20 lbs look like less - density changes before shape does.

Totally agree with everything you say. Since starting MJ 10 weeks ago, I finally know what it's like for people without weight or food issues. No internal battles, no food noise. I always wondered, and now I know! 😀

Great post, H-Town_Hottie! It's frustrating to feel misunderstood. You want to explain, but some people just don't *want* to understand, even if they could. Especially hard when it's someone you respected. Good for you for finding peace with it!

Fantastic! You must feel so much better in general! Congratulations!

I'm a guy, and I lost so much padding back there that sitting at my desk started irritating my... well, you get the idea. I think glute exercises are the way to go to rebuild some cushion.

Yeah, mine's smaller too, but my blood sugar is way better. I'm trying to keep that in mind. I still think I look better overall, honestly.

I'm in my 3rd week. During my second week I woke up with burps at 5AM. It was so annoying, I had to take off my CPAP. I don’t know what I did differently.

I had the worst sulfur burps one day. My daughter was sitting across from me and asked me if I had ripped one.

I've been reading about the importance of muscle mass as we get older. Did y'all know Dr. Gabrielle Lyon talks about it being vital for longevity and fighting things like obesity and heart issues? Seems like is even more important than I realized!

It's interesting how different people respond. Some shed weight rapidly, while others see a gradual change. I saw someone mention they'd only lost 25lbs in 9 months, but they were still encouraged by their results. It highlights the importance of patience and not comparing yourself to others.

You're my goals, girl!! 💪💪💪

I'm interested to know how the oral medication works for people after bariatric surgery, since food moves through our stomachs faster, which could affect absorption.

A year is a huge milestone. That kind of consistency is what leads to real, sustainable changes in habits. I'm approaching that point myself, using a telehealth provider.
