Tricia, thank you for the compliment. I am so excited for you!!!!!! your plastics is just wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope everything goes very smooth for you! I have my consult tomorrow, but am most likely going to Brazil for my PS. May I ask how much you are paying for everything? I too want the boobs, thighs, TT..but but it is just expensive here. So this is why I am going tomorrow to get a rough idea of the cost. My pic is new. This is what I look like now. It should be on my profile also. the only problem is they cut my hair off in the pic. lol Are there any of the old regulars still around? I hang out on the light-weight board mostly. They are very active. Please keep me posted on your surgeries, and I wish you the very best! Brenda

Hi everyone. How are you? Life is good, eyyyy? Ihave been keeping quite busy. Loving life to the fullest, as I am sure everyone else is to I haven't had any PS yet, but do have a consult tomorrow. I am now 2...some 1's...this surgery saved my life for sure. I would love to hear from you all. God bless, Brenda

Jen . Well ... I am 5.7 I started out at 307 .. X says I started at 310 ..who knows .. My clothing size when I started was 26 today I am a size 4 and 135 pounds . The struggle I have is to keep weight on . And for the most part the weightloss has slowed .. Thank Goodness !!! I do mentor people in my community . I lead a support group here and find that many restart their weightloss by keeping to High Protein .. Low Carb diets . I follow South Beach and it works for me . I have 2 different picture trails on my profile . If you go to the very top of my profile - I list 2 links . I have tons of before and after photos . Please feel free to look at them . I still keep my protein levels high.. and always do my water .. very important when trying to up the weightloss . Best of luck to you .. glad to see you posting . Hugs, Natalie

Hey Jen, I started at the same weight as you and originally set my goal around the same. I have been to 149 and that's it. I'm happy where I am, but wouldn't mind losing a few more. I'm totally bottom heavy and 5'6". I've been to two plastic surgereons and both said same thing. In order for me to get the skin on my legs right I'd have to have the long incision down to my knees and they just aren't bad enough for that trade off. I am hoping to get the girls lifted back in place if we ever have the money. I have TONS of pictures on my picture trail. Good luck on the rest of your journey. It looks like you've done great so far. Christie

Can I join the carb club too?!?! I've been maintaining my weight loss but I'm sure if I would nip the carbs in the but even a little bit I'd probably lose some more weight. I've become a pretty good grazer. PUT ME OUT TO PASTURE I graze so much. The old habits are creeping back. Can we talk about coffee? Wholey crap I'm now drinking 4shot grande lattes (I justify it by thinking i'm getting my milk intake with it however-----ZING). I'm pretty sure I could start a StarBucks in my basement and I could be my own best customer;) Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone. You guys are great!! PennyB
