For my tummy tuck, they are cutting almost all the way around at the hip line, leaving about a 2" gap at the spine where they won't cut. For the lift, she's pulling some of the underarm flab in so I...

It's normal to be nervous about surgery but I would say the vast majority of people have few problems if any and as it's been said before even those who have complications almost always say they're...

I would definitely start exercising again, and maybe it's the difference between male & female, but I'm a year out next week and if i'm lucky I get 2/3 of a small Wendy's chili down. You might try...

CowGirlJane, I came from a 26/28 and am now in a 14/16 as well, so I totally get it. And I am thrilled to be where I am versus where I was. And I agree about the bones - I do have that apron, so I...

I knew the weight loss would slow at 6 months, and I thought I was prepared for it...but in the last 12 weeks, I have lost just under 24 pounds, and I am so frustrated! I wanted to be at my goal by...

So sorry for your loss, but what a reminder of why we're here & why it's so important to stay on top of our health. :(

Congratulations, you look great, and I agree with a pp, you must feel great too! And to agree with a different pp, you must be tall, I have to get under 159 to get to a "normal" BMI and I'm almost...

Just wondering if anyone's heard from him, I know he wasn't well and I don't see any updates from him on either his blog or his youtube. I hope he's doing ok!

That is awesome, congrats! :) I'm wearing a L corduroy jacket today, definitely feminine though it's almost navy...I must say it's a *tad* small, but it does button (I'm wearing it open). It's so...

I LOVE THIS - mine was a lie when I told them 280 (I was about 320)...and now it's REALLY a lie because I'm 215!! I fully intend on buying myself a new driver's license for my birthday even though I...

GREAT JOB! I'm about 16 pounds away and I'm already counting down! :) It must feel WONDERFUL!! Especially knowing you're there for good, that's the best part!

Great loss. I know what you mean, and I think most of us do - it takes such a long time to really see the changes in the mirror. I recently had family pictures taken and thought something must have...

That is fantastic!! I also always wanted to run but even in high school I couldn't do the one dreaded lap of the track! I did the C25K plan which uses interval training and pretty quickly got up to...

Ok, just because I said I would come back & post about my inches lost - 51.5 overall including 3" off my arm, 4.5 off my thigh, 10.5 off my rib measurement, 11.5 from my chest (I hope most of that...

Thanks everyone! I've really been focusing on getting at least 60 grams of protein, sometimes 70, and really working on the liquid intake. I've also been exercising, doing Zumba classes, Aqua...

22 pounds in 25 days is awesome!! At that same time out I had lost about 25, but it quickly dropped to an average of about 4 pounds a week soon after that. You'll be fine!

I was 6 months out on Monday and as of Wednesday I am down 100 pounds. I am SO EXCITED!!! I started in a 26/28 in most things, some of which were tight...and I just bought a size 16 pencil skirt! ...

Oh Erin, I'm so sorry to hear the ordeal you've been through. I ABSOLUTELY agree with Grace, I'm not usually a "sue them" type of person, but that doctor needs to have his license revoked and at the...

Excellent job Buddy! I remember when you had your surgery, I was pretty new to the forum - I can't believe it's been a year already. You are definitely an inspiration! And I agree with the post...

Is it too early to check in? I've been doing great on the liquids & protein, but I only remembered my vitamins once this week! I did just have my blood work done last week and I'm ok on everything...

Tara, I'm a little late to the party, but I wanted to tell you that you look FABULOUS!! I'm a bit jealous I must say (I still have 80 pounds to lose!). :) That last bit will come off, don't you...

That's great! :)

First Tara - look at you, skinny minnie!!! What a difference in your pictures! :)

I have been falling behind in drinking and taking my vitamins more than anything. I'm starting at 234.6...

Wow, you look amazing! Congrats! :)

OMG, you don't even look like the same person!! So thin & even younger looking! :) CONGRATS!!!
