I often share that I am in therapy and the response is ALWAYS positive! We need to share with our people. We need to take care of ourselves in body and soul. I am a happy person because I take care of myself!!!
Oh oh! I can relate to the whole 3 different Dr's telling you different things. I had 3 Dr's tell me I couldn't have children. Thank goodness I found my Dr now, who helped me figure out my ovulation cycle, and that was the key for me, thankfully. But years of turmoil thinking I couldn't, having a miscarriage, and how it twisted me up inside cause I wanted a family so badly. Now, onto baby number 3 😂 all boys, too! I do want a girl, but I have to let go of that dream cause it's probably not gonna happen. I've learned, though, that I should definitely enjoy and focus on what I do have. Even the things most of us overlook: a roof over my family's heads, food in the home, power, running water. If you have any of these things, you're richer than you think. I just love you guys. Keep doin'' what you're doin'' cause it's gold. ❤❤
Wow! That happened to you? Crazy! Yes the power of finding gratitude in everything is often forgotten but it’s the key to a great life. And also finding a way to help others- that’s always our goal here. ❤️❤️ 3 sons means you have secret service for life! Priceless protection.
This Talk was real real. All I would like is to see you both happy and healthy. And then whatever you want to create in the right headspace I am 100% sure is going to be amazing cause your personalities and experiences and style will just shine through. Much love from Poland ❤❤
Every episode is great, but this one particularly resonated with me, from the therapy to the motivation to get back in shape after health issues, to the struggle to become a mom again, in my case, having endometriosis. I agree 2023 was the worse and best year ever, and I'm so glad you are both still here sharing the journey, with all the high and lows. With all other people on this platform trying so hard to sugar coat life, making it as if the highs are the only thing worth showing, the lows are as important acknowledging since they shape us the most IMO. Hope this year will be so successful business wise and personally for you both ❤
Thank you for saying that. We love to keep it real to give the authentic girlfriend experience. We so appreciate the compliment and the positivity into the new year. We hope all gets better for you. Not easy to say the least. Until next time, please take care.
Edwina and Shana I’m sending you love. Both of you have been through so much. I want to thank you for all this work you have done all these years. As a terminally ill person it has helped me get through some bad days. Sometimes I need an escape and you bring me to my happy place because I also love thrifting. Also now love twinsie talk because I feel like I get to know you guys intimately. In my head you guys are my friends. 🤣 Love you both. ❤
Yes we are friends. We can do feel your connection. Glad you like our podcast Twinsie Talk. We are honored to be here for you and appreciate you so much. Thanks for sharing this with us.
All I can say is thank you both for the encouragement you share, the enthusiasm and I just feel like you both are my BFF’s. I’m honored that you, Edwina, shared your picture of ‘Dana’ with me in person. I couldn’t believe how big it was. Anyway glad you’re better and Shana even though you say you’re not 100% you look amazing. I shared your channel with my cousin in Minnesota. Her granddaughter and her love to thrift also. Anything I can help you with, I’m there!!!!
Speak your truth Edwina! My sister in law also had a hysterectomy and the judgement from the family was wild!!! I married into the family so I had to watch my mouth but I forced my husband to tell his mother to stop calling the entire family to let them know how sad she was because her oldest daughter would never know what it feels like to be a mom!! I was like.. lady!!!! STOP!! Not every woman wants to be a mom.. motherhood is not for all women! So live your life Edwina! I’m so happy you are happy AND healthy!!
Wow what a story. And yea you summarized it well. Motherhood is not the journey for all women and some simply are unable physically. Thanks for sharing.
I feel your pain about your hysterectomy. I had a full hysterectomy and 30 pounds of endometriosis removed in my 30s and then I started with chronic pelvic pain and I was told for years that it was all in my head not all the scar tissue that was left but all in my head, love you girls keep doing what you’re doing
Wow! What a story. 30lbs?!!! You are a survivor & endured a lot! I cannot believe you went through similar conditioning like it’s not a big deal and you can handle it talks. It’s ridiculous. Thanks for sharing. We hope you feel much better now. Sending our love.
My heart goes out to you both for the hell you’ve been dealing with! Edwina I’m so proud of you for facing the surgery and people’s expectations of you, it’s great to see you bloom in a season of growth and healing. Shana, you’re a warrior getting back up after every failed implantation, miscarriage and loss. It only takes one embryo and I hope this is your miracle, but if it’s not meant to be, I wish you all the strength in acceptance of your life. All my fingers and toes are crossed for you. I’ve had a rough couple of years too, with my hubby losing both his parents (one to suicide). Then we started IVF and had a successful transfer in September. Now our 20 week scan showed an abnormality with the heart and a clubbed foot. So I’m seeing a specialist for a more detailed scan on the 30th Jan. Fingers crossed everything will be ok, but if not, we will keep trying to start our family. We are all so much stronger than we know! Love you both. ❤❤❤
@@ThriftersAnonymous I have great news, baby is perfect!!! The first ultrasound people just didn’t know what they were talking about. Thank you for the support and prayers. Im so grateful that our little one is healthy! 🥰
Omg Edwina I had to pause the video to write this. My heart goes out to you. I cannot believe the size of that fibroid. You just feel like a new person. I'm so happy you were able to get it removed and doing well now.
Thank you for your kinds words. Whenever I see those pictures, I am still in shock that was in me and causing me to suffer daily. Ugh, it was massive/ wide/ huge for only being that weight. Yes healing well and feeling the best I have felt in a a very long time.
Right?! I need a more extreme word for Gaslighting at this point. Unbelievable how long I had to suffer, wait and almost gave up. Thank you so much for your support.
Another thing I wanted to say Edwina which is why your discussion of fibroids is SO important. It is not TMI, it is necessary. I suffered in silence also because although fibroids are quite common among Black women, we do not discuss it among our family or friends. I found very little public health care education/discussion on the subject. I felt alone and embarrassed at the time (in 2015). And I vowed after that I would no longer be silent, so I discussed it with family members to let them know, hey are you going through this/ these are your medical options/ no, heavy bleeding is not normal/no, eating vegetables will not cure fibroids (lots of myths out there!). And I am so glad you had Shana to encourage you to seek medical treatment, because so many women don't.
You are so right. Another reason for my delayed steps on taking this journey for removal. Ugh very limited information indeed and embarrassment. Thank you for sharing your story and the myths. So many good points you mentioned that I forgot to address. I so agree on talking about with your family and sharing how you really feel each day with others versus suffering in silence. I delayed that part too….and just gave up. Thank goodness Shana kept sending me success stories of chocolate women going through successful surgeries. Glad this was not TMI.- I was worried. I hope our stories will help others. Thank you so much for stopping by. 😘😘❤️❤️
You guys are both so strong and you should be proud of how far you've come, in work, in life, in the RUclips thrifters universe... so to speak. Anytime I feel lonely for having no girl friends around anymore, I get my fix by going thrifting or watching you guys and it actually helps me know I'm not alone, there are people out there just as "sick" as i am 😅 I'm due to have my 3rd boy anytime between now and being of February, so I'll try my best not to miss this sale. 😉
Awe we are girlfriends! We are always here for you. And no you are not sick. You are our triplet. 🥰🥰 congrats on your 3rd son again. When is the due date?Thanks again for your kinds words as always. You know how to make our day. See you tomorrow!
@ThriftersAnonymous my due date is February 6th but the dr will induce me on January 30th, 31st, or Feb 1st. That being said, the baby's lungs are fully developed so he could come anytime if my water breaks. 😅 I gladly take title of triplet! 😂❤ yall are awesome!
No doubt, it was a tough year. My youngest son 35, passed away. Went home to be with the Lord, 4 days later I had a broken heart. Literally, artery tearing from the inside causing heart attack. I'm I'm extremely healthy. It's caused by emotional stress. So you are not kidding about the affects stress can have on our beautiful bodies. But 2024 is here! Ready as I'm gonna be! Love you guys! Super great video, thank you for all you do and truly sharing your lives with us. We're in it together!!🎉❤
Omg!!! Wait, what?! Our hearts go out to you!! That’s the worst thing you could have ever experienced times 2!. Our most sincere condolences. Yes stress is something else- it can take a toll on the mind and body in so many ways. Wishing you nothing but the best in 2024. Glad you enjoyed the talk today. We cannot help but keep it real. But thank you for sharing a part of you with us. Please take care. 😘😘❤️❤️
Oh Edwina I can so relate. I walked around for more than three years struggling with low iron when it was fibroids and polyps. Had you gotten it done earlier you could have had the laparoscopic surgery.
Hey Shelly!! Where you been?! Long time…but so good to see you. Wow, you too?! Low iron- that’s interesting. I feel the same way about the timing but unfortunately I was denied so much then gave up. And Shana kept sending me videos of success stories of chocolate woman and that re-motivated me to get rid of “Dana” in 2023 for good. Thanks for sharing your story and stopping by.
S&E, if only the world were filled with people as genuine and good as you both. Edwina, I nearly retched and covered my eyes when you showed the picture of Dana, but don't worry I'm okay. Glad they are gone from you!!! Shana, sending you all the vibes you need, so that this year is smooth sailing, you go girls!!
I love you girls...have watched from my personal RUclips for a long time, this is my business channel so you have 2 subs from me now! I am so happy that Edwina is finally in the body she was meant to be in...Hallelujah!
Thanks for the new sub! We need it😂🤣 Thank you for the love and support. Agreed!!! It was a journey to be freed from suffering. BTW: We like your business name.
My fibroid was 2 lbs. I took awhile as well to deal with it because I was conditioned to believe, we should deal with it -- until I couldn't after constant heavy bleeding, getting transfusions. I had a laparoscopic hysterectomy. Please Ladies, take it seriously and get medical intervention the sooner the better. Edwina, you are doing a service sharing this with us, thank you. FYI sex is better after the surgery 😊.
Mine was small at one time…yes it’s true on the conditioning to deal with it until I had ENOUGH of all those symptoms and more. Thank you for your comment. And yes, I truly hope my Fibroid journey helps others. Hugs!! We appreciate you.
I really look forward to seeing your videos. I was wondering if you guys can share more information about insurance. I recalled you guys mentioning how medical insurance companies allow once a year health check up which I didn’t know about it. I went in for health check up because the free health check up you mentioned on your show. So I was wondering if you can please share more. Thank you!
Hi from a cold and snowy New York❄️ Love you girls and all your videos. They have gotten me through many hard times so I thank you for that. I was wondering have you ever considered posting short vlogs on TikTok to get your channel and videos more out there?
Yes of course but we need help to expand that route. But shorts are key indeed. Thanks for the reminder. Happy to be here for you. We love you & NYC! ❤❤
Thank you for being so real and vulnerable. I love watching your progression since the very beginning of your channel and love seeing two strong gorgeous powerful women talk power to life and age and challenges. Id love to hear more about your weights routine, menopause etc.
Thank you for sharing your story Edwina! I’m so amazed of what you went through and how wonderful you have a supportive beautiful friend in Shana! (I’m 72 and still running and working out. I want to age well!)
You are so welcome. We are so thankful to have one another as friends indeed. When I gave up for the 3rd time, Shana didn’t. She helped me get back on track to get it removed and not give up by sending me constant videos of chocolate women having successful surgeries. And then I made it a goal for 2023 and finally I’m free!!
Wow! 72! You sound like you found the fountain of youth routine! That’s amazing. Keep it up. And thank you so much for stopping by and hanging out with us.
Thank you both for sharing the real-life stuff. I have my own health struggles, and I appreciate the openness you have. Thrifting is a form of therapy for me, but I have a therapist as well!
It’s our pleasure to give the realness on these episodes. Thank you for noticing. Thrifting is our therapy too! Saved our lives doing this together- our favorite outlet to destress and relax. Glad you have a therapist too!
Love you girls! I am on a journey to better health myself and would be interested to learn some of the foods you eat, example meals, etc. Because of you , I learned about Dr. Mindy and have been deep diving on her videos. However, I am trying to find the best food solution for me. Just an idea as I am probably not the only viewer who would enjoy learning more about your eating lifestyle. Thank you for sharing yourselves with us. I look forward to Fridays ❤❤❤❤
We love you more. So good to always learn about food and learning how to read labels. We will keep that in mind for a future Twinsie talk. We appreciate you stopping by.
I adore you two. I always say that. Mean it. I've been through a lot this year. I can relate on so many levels of what you're talking about. I'm doing everything I can to reverse everything that's happened. The medication I take is tough side effects. I'm trying to get motivated today. Motivated to work out. I've lost so much muscle and I am going to be 60 this year. I know I'm going to make 2024 my best year in a long time. Now I get to go right into watching Thrifters anonymous video. I'm so excited!❤😊😊❤❤❤
We are so excited you are back mentally to start back physically. And we hope you are feeling much better. You can do this- it’s not too late. Please keep us posted.
Shalom, Shana & Edwina, you both look really beautiful. Edwina, I'm glad you started wearing your hair off your face. You can see your high cheekbone. And Shana, you got me addicted to egg bites. Starbucks & I saw you made them as well. Thank Y'all shhhhhhalom I probably should watch this episode❤😅😅 And last year, the very last part has been rough for me. My best friend transitioned(died) I miss her dearly so watching y'all makes me smile. TY
Thank you for you kind words. We are so sorry your loss. Our hearts go out to you. 😢😢 but we are happy to be able to make you smile. Yes the egg bites are life! Glad you saw that early episode- always a yummy go to. Take care ❤❤
Guys, I'm usually motivated to exercise except today! I was struggling this morning and as soon as you started to talk about the gym and consistency and discipline, I got up and went and did it - thanks to you!!! I have the after gym endorphins now, thanks so much!!!!
Great job! Nothing feels better thank the feeling of a good workout- especially when you didnt want to. Those days happen but just think of the bigger picture and just get there. We hope you have had the best day afterwards. Thanks for sharing that with us. At this rate, you are going to hit your goals in no time.
When I talk about you two I always refer to you two as my friends in Vegas!! We are absolutely friends!! I’ve followed you two forever!! Edwina I love your makeup!! I hear you two talking about the therapy and I’m like yesss! I need someone that will not just listen to me and let me dump on them but GIVE ME SOME DAMN FEEDBACK and homework!! I have been to soo many therapists and psychiatrists etc and they NEVER give you feedback! It’s so terrible. Shana, please just get your own account and do this!! You need it now so please don’t put it off until Edwina is done!! You so deserve it!! We all do damn it!! There is a book called The Secret and a movie as well and it is absolutely LIFE CHANGING!!! What is cameo? This was a FABULOUS AWESOME twinsie talk!!!!! What is this VIP email list?? I know this is so long but I just have to say. Edwina I feel sooooooo bad for you that you went through all of that!! It’s absolutely RIDICULOUS!! I want to just scream!! I’m so pissed the doctors wouldn’t do surgery!! I love you both and you are always in my prayers.
Thank you for connecting with us on this episode. Thanks for the compliments and encouragement. Yes therapy is priceless indeed. And the the surgery- so happy I finally got it done. But the aftermath….I still cannot believe they did not want to give me pain meds afterwards.But I survived! And the worst is behind me. But yes the secret is out motto- gratitude for everything and finding ways to help others.
I hope you feel better girls❤ its been a long journey and please stick with each other because this friendship what keeps you moving forward. I lost mine 😥 and you dont wanna not have this moments again
Shana, ask your Daddy if he would take care of his heart or kidneys if they had issues? Well, our brains are an organ, too-and the most complex of all. AND our brains control at least some of the rest of us! Also, I look forward to Fridays especially because of you and Edwina!
This is the beat Twinsie Talk you have put out. Thanks for sharing so much info. Edwina, I'm proud of you for doing Betterhelp and the surgery. Amazing! Thanks for all the videos! 🎉
Hey ladies lovin this twinsie chat!! First in a small vlogger and would love to meet yall I plan on being there in February and I have a closet half full of garbage I can’t fit!!

Thanks for stopping by. Wow congratulations! That’s amazing. You did that! Not bashing Ozempic but addressing people who are assuming how I got back in shape. Ymany think I had surgery or use drugs as assistance but happy to report I was able to do it all naturally. Your A1C is AMAZING!! Great job. That’s a big deal!!!

As a woman who has had fertility issues and reached age 49.5 without a child, please understand (and I speak from personal experience) that it DOESN’T HELP when people point out the 1/1000000 older woman who was able to get pregnant and carry the pregnancy to a healthy, full-term baby. The statistics aren’t on our side. We all know that there’s the rare woman who has been so fortunate, but we know it’s highly unlikely to happen for us. It feels like people are rubbing salt in our wounds when they point out these rare cases.

I strange enough make my therapist and psychiatrist laugh out alot and i love online services 🎭 🎰
Oh Edwina I can so relate. I walked around for more than three years struggling with low iron when it was fibroids and polyps. Had you gotten it done earlier you could have had the laparoscopic surgery.
Hey Shelly!! Where you been?! Long time…but so good to see you. Wow, you too?! Low iron- that’s interesting. I feel the same way about the timing but unfortunately I was denied so much then gave up. And Shana kept sending me videos of success stories of chocolate woman and that re-motivated me to get rid of “Dana” in 2023 for good. Thanks for sharing your story and stopping by.
S&E, if only the world were filled with people as genuine and good as you both. Edwina, I nearly retched and covered my eyes when you showed the picture of Dana, but don't worry I'm okay. Glad they are gone from you!!! Shana, sending you all the vibes you need, so that this year is smooth sailing, you go girls!!
Shocking right?! I knew you would clench your pearls. Thank you times 2 for the positive vibes. Thanks for stopping by.
Minus 55 with wind chill here in Edmonton Alberta Canada lol its a frozen tundra here
Omg! Grab your vintage coat and boots. And shiver in style.
Yes! Naturally Shana!!!
😘❤️
OMG Edwina! That was horrible and I’m glad you got it resolved and are on the road to recovery❤
Yes it was! But thank goodness its over now. Thanks so much.
Thank you sista Nala❤
I love you girls...have watched from my personal RUclips for a long time, this is my business channel so you have 2 subs from me now! I am so happy that Edwina is finally in the body she was meant to be in...Hallelujah!
Thanks for the new sub! We need it😂🤣 Thank you for the love and support. Agreed!!! It was a journey to be freed from suffering. BTW: We like your business name.
My fibroid was 2 lbs. I took awhile as well to deal with it because I was conditioned to believe, we should deal with it -- until I couldn't after constant heavy bleeding, getting transfusions. I had a laparoscopic hysterectomy. Please Ladies, take it seriously and get medical intervention the sooner the better. Edwina, you are doing a service sharing this with us, thank you. FYI sex is better after the surgery 😊.
Mine was small at one time…yes it’s true on the conditioning to deal with it until I had ENOUGH of all those symptoms and more. Thank you for your comment. And yes, I truly hope my Fibroid journey helps others. Hugs!! We appreciate you.
Cannot wait to see how this changes nasty time. 😜
I really look forward to seeing your videos. I was wondering if you guys can share more information about insurance. I recalled you guys mentioning how medical insurance companies allow once a year health check up which I didn’t know about it. I went in for health check up because the free health check up you mentioned on your show. So I was wondering if you can please share more. Thank you!
Oh that’s an interesting question for the future. Noted. Thank you for your kindness.
Hi from a cold and snowy New York❄️ Love you girls and all your videos. They have gotten me through many hard times so I thank you for that. I was wondering have you ever considered posting short vlogs on TikTok to get your channel and videos more out there?
Yes of course but we need help to expand that route. But shorts are key indeed. Thanks for the reminder. Happy to be here for you. We love you & NYC! ❤❤
Thank you for being so real and vulnerable. I love watching your progression since the very beginning of your channel and love seeing two strong gorgeous powerful women talk power to life and age and challenges. Id love to hear more about your weights routine, menopause etc.
Thank you so much!! Noted! We are so happy to hear that what we are doing is helping people more than we know.
I LOL’d when Edwina said, “…and I’ve been reckless!” 😂
😜
Thank you for sharing your story Edwina! I’m so amazed of what you went through and how wonderful you have a supportive beautiful friend in Shana! (I’m 72 and still running and working out. I want to age well!)
You are so welcome. We are so thankful to have one another as friends indeed. When I gave up for the 3rd time, Shana didn’t. She helped me get back on track to get it removed and not give up by sending me constant videos of chocolate women having successful surgeries. And then I made it a goal for 2023 and finally I’m free!!
Wow! 72! You sound like you found the fountain of youth routine! That’s amazing. Keep it up. And thank you so much for stopping by and hanging out with us.
You both are a joy to watch! ❤
We are beyond flattered. Thank you again.
Thank you both for sharing the real-life stuff. I have my own health struggles, and I appreciate the openness you have. Thrifting is a form of therapy for me, but I have a therapist as well!
It’s our pleasure to give the realness on these episodes. Thank you for noticing. Thrifting is our therapy too! Saved our lives doing this together- our favorite outlet to destress and relax. Glad you have a therapist too!
Love you girls! I am on a journey to better health myself and would be interested to learn some of the foods you eat, example meals, etc. Because of you , I learned about Dr. Mindy and have been deep diving on her videos. However, I am trying to find the best food solution for me. Just an idea as I am probably not the only viewer who would enjoy learning more about your eating lifestyle. Thank you for sharing yourselves with us. I look forward to Fridays ❤❤❤❤
We love you more. So good to always learn about food and learning how to read labels. We will keep that in mind for a future Twinsie talk. We appreciate you stopping by.
I adore you two. I always say that. Mean it. I've been through a lot this year. I can relate on so many levels of what you're talking about. I'm doing everything I can to reverse everything that's happened. The medication I take is tough side effects. I'm trying to get motivated today. Motivated to work out. I've lost so much muscle and I am going to be 60 this year. I know I'm going to make 2024 my best year in a long time. Now I get to go right into watching Thrifters anonymous video. I'm so excited!❤😊😊❤❤❤
We are so excited you are back mentally to start back physically. And we hope you are feeling much better. You can do this- it’s not too late. Please keep us posted.
Shalom, Shana & Edwina, you both look really beautiful. Edwina, I'm glad you started wearing your hair off your face. You can see your high cheekbone. And Shana, you got me addicted to egg bites. Starbucks & I saw you made them as well. Thank Y'all shhhhhhalom I probably should watch this episode❤😅😅 And last year, the very last part has been rough for me. My best friend transitioned(died) I miss her dearly so watching y'all makes me smile. TY
Thank you for you kind words. We are so sorry your loss. Our hearts go out to you. 😢😢 but we are happy to be able to make you smile. Yes the egg bites are life! Glad you saw that early episode- always a yummy go to. Take care ❤❤
Guys, I'm usually motivated to exercise except today! I was struggling this morning and as soon as you started to talk about the gym and consistency and discipline, I got up and went and did it - thanks to you!!! I have the after gym endorphins now, thanks so much!!!!
Great job! Nothing feels better thank the feeling of a good workout- especially when you didnt want to. Those days happen but just think of the bigger picture and just get there. We hope you have had the best day afterwards. Thanks for sharing that with us. At this rate, you are going to hit your goals in no time.
Love this video! 💕💕💕 Motivated to get healthy, walk more and lift weights!💕💕💕
That’s great to hear. This is your time to shine! We are so happy you enjoyed todays talk.
When I talk about you two I always refer to you two as my friends in Vegas!! We are absolutely friends!! I’ve followed you two forever!! Edwina I love your makeup!! I hear you two talking about the therapy and I’m like yesss! I need someone that will not just listen to me and let me dump on them but GIVE ME SOME DAMN FEEDBACK and homework!! I have been to soo many therapists and psychiatrists etc and they NEVER give you feedback! It’s so terrible. Shana, please just get your own account and do this!! You need it now so please don’t put it off until Edwina is done!! You so deserve it!! We all do damn it!! There is a book called The Secret and a movie as well and it is absolutely LIFE CHANGING!!! What is cameo? This was a FABULOUS AWESOME twinsie talk!!!!! What is this VIP email list?? I know this is so long but I just have to say. Edwina I feel sooooooo bad for you that you went through all of that!! It’s absolutely RIDICULOUS!! I want to just scream!! I’m so pissed the doctors wouldn’t do surgery!! I love you both and you are always in my prayers.
Thank you for connecting with us on this episode. Thanks for the compliments and encouragement. Yes therapy is priceless indeed. And the the surgery- so happy I finally got it done. But the aftermath….I still cannot believe they did not want to give me pain meds afterwards.But I survived! And the worst is behind me. But yes the secret is out motto- gratitude for everything and finding ways to help others.
I hope you feel better girls❤ its been a long journey and please stick with each other because this friendship what keeps you moving forward. I lost mine 😥 and you dont wanna not have this moments again
Thank you! Yes we love and appreciate each other so much! Thanks for the reminder of the importance of positive relationships in life.
To Dana bye Felicia! 😂❤
Bahaha byeeeeee! 😂😂
Shana, ask your Daddy if he would take care of his heart or kidneys if they had issues? Well, our brains are an organ, too-and the most complex of all. AND our brains control at least some of the rest of us! Also, I look forward to Fridays especially because of you and Edwina!
Good point. Thank you so much. Happy that you stop by every Friday too! ❤❤
Lovely seeing you two ladies again. You have both been through so much and still. I will pray for you both.❤
Thank you so much! We appreciate the love! 💕

Thanks for stopping by. Wow congratulations! That’s amazing. You did that! Not bashing Ozempic but addressing people who are assuming how I got back in shape. Ymany think I had surgery or use drugs as assistance but happy to report I was able to do it all naturally. Your A1C is AMAZING!! Great job. That’s a big deal!!! Your next 20-25 lbs will be gone before you know it with your discipline and hard work. Please email us regarding your self nomination for This Is Will I Am. Please send is your story, videos, pictures, goals, Las Vegas trips dates etc via email so we can review/consider. 😘😘ThrowItInTheCartLV@gmail.com
Thank you so much for sharing your life with all of us.
And being very inspiring you both are absolutely a 1:14:24 light in this world.❤❤❤🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍
You are so welcome! We appreciate the love.
If you’re researching diabetes, look into the low carb/carnivore diet and it will help your numbers so much!
Thanks for the tip. Thankfully we not pre diabetic. But helpful for our boos.
I'm a fatty I need all the tips and trivks
Dookiy tunnel? Yeah we listening lol I mean roflmao
Bahaha yep you are listening.
The medical field rarely if ever believes women. Edwina, I'm so sorry you had to suffer for so long. Shana, may God bless you with another child. 🤗
So true. We thank you! ❤❤
Hi
Hi times two!
My mom had a baby naturally at age 46
That’s amazing to hear. Your mom is truly blessed.
As a woman who has had fertility issues and reached age 49.5 without a child, please understand (and I speak from personal experience) that it DOESN’T HELP when people point out the 1/1000000 older woman who was able to get pregnant and carry the pregnancy to a healthy, full-term baby. The statistics aren’t on our side. We all know that there’s the rare woman who has been so fortunate, but we know it’s highly unlikely to happen for us. It feels like people are rubbing salt in our wounds when they point out these rare cases.
Omg Edwina that is huge you poor thing x
I know right. So unreal. It was pressed all the way up against my diaphragm.
YAAAAAY
Welcome back friend! 🥰🥰
JM HELLO 👋
twiiiiiiiinsie talk :D
lol! We hear you singing it. 😘😘
IVANIIIIIÀAA🎉 GOOD NIGHT 🌉
Ever heard of a menopause baby? I know someone who had a baby during menopause. It can happen!😊
Very interesting- never heard that term before. Thanks for sharing the positive possibilities.
❤❤
Hey there!! So good to see you. We hope all is well. 😘😘
Fine china Queen ❤

Thank you sista Nala❤
