  • Champagne problems girls, champagne problems:
  • Can't wear my wedding rings anymore, they are falling off my fingers. Currently wearing a fake set of rings that are not nearly as pretty as my real ones- I miss my rings, but I won't get them resized at this point, I still have too far to go.

    I kind of like baggy panties- better than having them roll down below my belly, which is what they used to do!

    Well after seeing you new pic - I don't blame him!
  • Quote: Champagne problems girls, champagne problems:
    LMAO! This is my new saying!!!! Champagne problems!
  • Quote: yeah, I need some new unmentionables! The worst part is something very bad happened to my boobs which look like crepe paper now and deflated or something....something has to be done about that!!!
    I have ski slopes - my husband actually took one of my sons little action figures on a skateboard and it "ran it down the slope ..."

    It's a good thing I have a sense of humor or he'd be wearing the baggy panties around his neck!
  • My mom teases me that the expense of this diet is not going to be the food or the vitamins, it is going to be the shopping spree at the end I miss my rings too!
  • I can't lie, I miss the boobs...my husband has discovered other ***'ets though so all is not lost!
  • Deflated boobs and I have to double up on socks so I don't lose my shoes!

    Y'all are too funny!

    I haven't found any downsides yet, except not having anything to wear....
  • Omg...I am totally there with you all on so much of this, it is just crazy. I mentioned the feeling of having National Geographic boobs on another thread...and have joked with my husband about needing a "long" sized cup now instead of a D. I guess it is just time to start a savings account for all the ps we are going to need at the end...skin removals, tummy tucks, butt lifts, boob jobs.

    I am also sad to report that my dimples on my face are starting to become wrinkles....yikes. I had my first gray hairs at 27, so I have been dealing with that, but I am soooo not ready to deal with a wrinkled face because my dimples are stretching out. I so wish we could tell our bodies exactly where to lose weight cuz I would really like to keep my cheeks and boobs. Oh...well, the pitfalls of being healthy!
  • My rings are too big as well, but I went to my local department store and bought the little ring sizers! They're just little plastic tubes that you put on the palm side of your ring and they fit nice and snug! Great $6 purchase!

    For me, no pitfalls yet but I'm only down 22 so we'll see in a little bit!

    Quote: That just made me LOL My husband is the same way!!
    Hence the term "baking cookes"!!! Seems IP is notorious for changing our lives for the better in more ways than one!! Scorbett , better set your clocks ahead, so you won't be late for work!!! lol!!
  • I hear y'all on the boobs! I refer to mine as tennis balls in tube socks. I joke that if I do need a mammogram it won't be a big deal - they're already flat as pancakes!

    And I just love the sound of my flabby arm skin slapping the side of my body when I put my deodorant on. Good times! Or walking in the summer and having my flabby thighs slap together now that everything is looser. Sounds like they're giving each other a high five! Sigh.

    The cold really gets to me too. And the shoes. Yeesh! Especially now that it's colder weather and your feet don't swell like they do in the summer!

    Ah, such problems we have!
  • Quote: Anyone who says healthy eating and exercise are best either have never tried to lose weight, are very young or are in denial.

    Eating a nice healthy diet high in complex carbs, and exercising daily got me 40 pounds heavier than I am now. Age and too many carbs can't be exercised away!

    Ip is great!
    I worked out 4-6 days a week and counted my calories for 6 months -- and lost 1 pound.

    Then I joined IP and have lost 9lbs in 3 weeks.

    I'm not too radically into new clothes just yet, but I already have a few pairs of new sweatpants that don't fit -- I almost lost them while out today!so close to flashing a room full of random people...

    Ok, I'm going with Miracle Suits and uplifting butt panties from Macy's. While I'm there, I may even buy a padded T-shirt bra. I have not worn a padded bra in years, I always bought a minimizer
