I'm overwhelmed with joy hearing you being happy 😊!

[melaniestokes]

I do the exact same thing after I weigh in. I think, "Oh, I've got the rest of the week to lose so I'm going to have (fill in the blank)." If I would just quit doing that, I'd lose more I'm sure. Happy belated birthday! I've been watching your videos for the past few months and I find them very inspiring. People at work finally noticed I've lost weight!! Yay!!

Happy belated birthday girl .. you still rocking even with the gain.. never mind since you are healthy

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I SO get you...I am going to Mexico in about 2 months... kids start school Monday and I want to start meal prepping MUCH more to be more relaxed and to have a PLAN. LOVE your videos... learn so much and feel so motivated! GRACIAS!

So so glad you had an amazing birthday!!! I love your plan about buckling down until your surgiversary just because I know you, like me, love having set goals. I can't wait to watch you achieve it! Girl...I totally get you about weigh day/cheat day. I do the same thing. "Well I already did my official weigh in and it's a week til the next one so I can snack a lol. I will have to check out the thinx underwear.  <33 YOU!

Happy belated birthday!!! You look amazing!!! So happy you were able to enjoy it 😊 I admire your ability to stay rational mentally when you know your weight is not a result of your effort (esp when you have a gain). I definitely struggle with that!! Have a great week!

[HelloVsg]

I'm glad that your birthday was so great! I love the nsv about wearing a skirt all day with no chaffing. I used to always wear bicycle shorts or something like that under my skirts and dresses. I love how you look with your hair up!

[ronnijames]

We all get a bit snacky at times. You have a great attitude to keep on track and make your 8 week goal. You'll make it! Have a wonderful week!

Happy belated birthday! Six Flags sounds like a lot of fun!

Happy "belated" birthday! Mine was the 25th! Lol! Great news on the NSV! You're doing so well and I'm sure you're going to hit your goal! You got this, girly! 😚

[mustangchick]

Happy birthday!! (Sorry I'm late! 😬) Thank you for sharing your experience with the hormones.. I think I'm going through something similar!

Happy Birthday! It's a work in progress and when Mother Nature calls bloating is inevitable. I didn't realize though the weight of water I retain fluid in my legs especially with my sit down job.

[theadventuresofacupcake]

I get super exhausted now with my periods, and after surgery they have been longer and heavier to the point that I got on a second form of birth control just to help with those things - unfortunately I don't know that it really made much of a difference. I feel like with my weight loss slowing down my periods haven't been as bad but I still feel exhausted for like 2 weeks lately around my period. I'm glad you had a happy birthday 😊 I feel like my 30's are already better than my 20's were (I'm 32.) You look great and you're doing great 😊

Happy Belated Birthday. My date is November 24 and I will be eating clean and behaving to reach the goal I have in mind too.

[susievsg]

This makes me happy. :) Also, I keep wanting to try wearing a skirt without shorts, but I'm always so afraid I'll still chafe, so I chicken out. The day I can do this will be one of my all-time favorite NSVs - up there with crossing my legs and being able to wear jeans comfortably! As for the period thing, I hear you! I've had some really bad problems with mine since surgery. But in the meantime, I'm totally trying Thinx - I've always wondered if they work. Anyway, so glad you had a happy birthday!!

[madechangesmyself]

My surgery was October 17, I'm doing same as you. Eating perfect so I'll reach goal

[FamilyPickens]

Sounds like a wonderful birthday for you!!! The idea of no chaffing is something that I feel like I can only dream of! LOL Sounds like you have a good plan in place for your last 8 weeks. Hope you have a terrific week!

[lacee]

I love the skirt story! I am wearing skirts a lot now too since I have less chub rub and my legs look better. I never wore shorts under skirts due to the extreme heat down here in the southern US (as you well know!) Glad you had a great birthday :)

[madechangesmyself]

I don't have friends either. Mine are you tube and IG but I love everyone in the WLC . Happy Belated Birthday. You have did a wonderful job and you look great

[losinglou]

Hope your birthday was super! You are doing great. Don't let the scale going up this week get to you. Our weight fluctuates or at least mine does. PMS it a stressful time.
