My gosh girl you are so beautiful but I know that beauty isn't everything...it's all about how you feel. I definitely feel it's the hormones and your soon to be cycle. You will always be my Sara Evans look alike..lol Man, I wish I could come out to see ya! It would be so much fun. Have a great time and get lots of pictures.

Love ya!

Girl I LOVE Sunchips. They're not as bad as you would think. Definitely want to eat them in moderation due to the carbs though. By the way, I tried your Tilapia recipe yesterday... OMG, it was AMAZING!!! Regarding your current struggle, you look wonderful April. I know that personally I see myself as still big, but I know that I'm not as big as before because I barely have any clothes that fit me anymore lol. But yea, you look wonderful. Keep up the great work and rocking that sleeve! Hugs

[allforliving]

I know Sunchips are definitely a lot more healthy than most other chips that's why I chose those! So glad you love the tilapia! It's so yummy, I think I might make that for supper! I just hit a BUNCH of garage sales. Maybe one day we can go do that together. I got sooo much stuff. Just uploaded a video to show y'all. Hugs to you!

[Fierybutterflywings]

Sounds great. Amelia (massagegoddess) just did the same thing and she racked up! I'm cooking a ginger garlic chicken tonight. Hopefully it'll be great. I'll send you the recipe in an email.

[allforliving]

lol just put up a fashion show video from all the garage sale clothes LMAO. the ginger chicken sounds awesome! Thanks for sending me the recipe!

[need2dosomething]

I experience the exact same stuff you are describing... crazy huh?

[allforliving]

It's Very crazy! But I just went and got TONS of new clothes. Just uploaded the video showing y'all all what I got. I hope that helps! I gotta get rid of the plus sizes once and for all! BUT YES, it's VERY CRAZY! Thanks for making me not feel alone!

[2ThousandAnd9]

You have come so far, you are beautiful, always have been and always will be.

I think we are the hardest people to convince when it comes to weight loss. I haven't had such a noticeable difference like you, but I can imagine seeing the way I look as the way I used to look at any moment.

Good video and great thoughts.

Take care!

[allforliving]

thank you so much!

[myfreshstart]

Hi April, the difference between your before photo from November and your latest photo is amazing! You look great! And thin! I like the idea of what a couple people said about putting on old really big pants to remind ourselves just how much we have lost. Then when we look in the mirror we could definitely see the changes. But I know I never feel like the same fat girl in my smaller sized clothes. Especially now that I am buying new colors too-- not just black anymore.

[allforliving]

thanks so much Linda. putting those pics side by side really helped me to see the difference. I need to look at those more often. AND I just went and found tons of new clothes! Look for that video!

[SoonerGirl1013]

You look good! I understand what you are saying though!! Sometimes I look at myself and I feel amazing and others its like it hasn't changed at all. I do agree about the clothes! I still dress my "Fat" body, not the body I am sculpting now!! Keep up the hard work!!

[allforliving]

thanks so much!

[katiemh80]

You look great April, very sexy and slim

[allforliving]

thank you so much kateri!

[pyronc]

April - I feel the same way. But we cannot actually GAIN wait without over consuming 3500 calories/ lb. So the actual wt is just water or something. I have to remind myself of that. I have definitely been going through the same thing the past 5 days. I haven't lost more then 1 pound a week for a month and I am just 2 months form surgery. It is frustrating. I am seeing a nutritionist in another week. Maybe she can jump start my metabolism. Sing one for me! Have a blast!

[allforliving]

you are so right. it's so impossible and unlogical to think I could have gained all that weight back. i think my brain is trying to catch up with my body. i swear I heard that so many times but did not think I'd go through it! lol I'll be sure to sing one for you, yes! Hope u are enjoying your weekend!

[ladyblue3]

I really do wonder when the mind catches up with the body. I've had those day when I can't for the life of me see a smaller me in the mirror and days where I just can't believe how much I've changed. Maybe it's hormonal, who knows. I put on some of my old clothes and that helps me realize how much weight I've actually lost.

[allforliving]

that is SO it, M.J. ... the mind having to catch up with the body. That is exactly it. I heard so many people say that but never thought for a second that I'd go through that. Thanks for sharing your similarities with me!

[msarcomere]

Hon, it's combination of things with a dash of body dysmorphia thrown in for good measure.

Look at your first videos and try on those old pants.....you're doing so well!!

[allforliving]

lol at "with a dash of body dysmorphia thrown in for good measure" that's great. gosh i miss seein you in your videos! you are a HOOT! Thanks so much!

[gastricRose]

well there is still a fat girl looking back at me when I see myself I think but I still work on it everyday step by step...but I do love where I am just want to keep moving the scale and it will happen for me ....love you girl...love rosemary

[allforliving]

love you too rosemary! You have done so fantastic! HUGS!

[WeightingMyTurn]

Hon, you are beautiful! Both inside and out.

[allforliving]

thank you. you are so kind!

[hislivingsacrifice]

I can relate. I haven't weighed in 2 weeks and have been living in denial. Tomorrow I weigh in and it's not gonna be pretty. You are gorgeous.  I find your voice so comforting.

[allforliving]

aww, you are beautiful! I'm sure your weigh-in will go fine! thanks so much for watching!
