I hear you Drew1984! I had that happen on another forum. Maybe message a mod? Or try posting something short and see if it goes through?

Thanks! I'll probably DM you shortly. I'm always looking for tips and tricks to make this more sustainable in the long run.

Thanks everyone, it sounds like it's a common thing. I'll try the collage idea and see if that helps. I keep buying clothes that are too big!

Yay for being overweight! 🥳 I'm aiming for overweight rather than 'healthy' as my goal. As long as it is more muscle than fat I'm fine being a bit higher weight.

Yes girl! Our stats are close, and you look fantastic! It's inspiring to see!

You look fabulous 👍 congrats...

You're a fantastic writer. And you look like you belong on a magazine cover. What I love about my new shape is wearing things I thought I never could. It's like another side of me is out. You look great and so young and stylish. Congrats on the change ❤️.
