    I'm a old chick and had surgery 5 months ago. I want to do videos but just don't know who to do them.. I watch them but don't try to do them. I may start. I'm glad you had a good time at the conference.

      +TERRI STRAWN Hey, if you're considering it it's worth a shot but there's nothing wrong with not doing it either! You're still an active part of the community and that's awesome!! The conference was wonderful and i'll probably be doing a post mortem video soon :D

    Lol what a surreal thing to hear?! "You're losing weight too fast, slow down" haha ... What the hell is pumpkin whip???!!! 🎃🎃🎃

    • @changingchristinawls1851
      @changingchristinawls1851 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +RAH CREATE hahahah he didn't mean slow down the weight loss. he meant more like "don't rush the healing process" because i asked him about the air hockey thing :) and he knows i'm eager to get back to life as usual. pumpkin whip is something that looks amazing in theory but i haven't tried it yet so WHO KNOWS?! :) recipe is in the description though.

    • @RAHCREATE
      @RAHCREATE 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +ChangingChristina WLS ohhhh Hahahaha ok I see. I thought it didn't make much sense!!! Hmm ok I'll check that out, without reading the recipe it sounds like some kind of chocolate mousse wannabe

    • @changingchristinawls1851
      @changingchristinawls1851 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      @changingchristinawls1851 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +sleevedmel2015 Thanks for subbing and for the support! Congrats on your journey as well :) I give you SO much credit for weighing in every day, i was doing that way too much and needed to step away from the scale, now i try to just do it once a week if that.

  • @RAHCREATE
    @RAHCREATE 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @changingchristinawls1851
      @changingchristinawls1851 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +RAH CREATE it was a REALLY cool moment. this week has been crazy and i needed a quick reminder of how big of a life change this all is. being 2 weeks out and meeting people that are a year or two out put things into massive perspective.

  • @RAHCREATE
    @RAHCREATE 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just found your channel, loving your thumbnails :) Sucks to hear your allergic to the glue, so random!! Hope they heal up nice and quick. Well done on dropping 33lbs so far, I think it will take us longer to notice our own weight loss before other people so keep your eyes peeled for those NSVs like your jacket. Looking forward to more of your updates! x

    • @changingchristinawls1851
      @changingchristinawls1851 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +RAH CREATE thanks so much! So far it's healing up decently well, the irritation is finally gone but it's still reddish. The second week has been ridiculously slower in terms of weight loss, it's a little discouraging but i have to get the heck away from my scale, because it's the NSV's that i'm definitely noticing.
