Hi Debbie, Wow 10 pounds from goal. That is great success. I am currently 20 pounds from originally goal of 150 and 35 pounds from my next goal of 135. However, i am very happy with my weight loss and would do this again in an heart beat. I am now looking into plastic surgery. My PS says that if i lose too much more, i will look sick. I really don't think so and feel i could lose the 20 pounds or so. Have a great one. Marti

Jessica, As a former hair stylist I would say a short cut may be best however you would probably still need the frizz ease. If you decide to keep your length I would say wash hair conition hair put on frizz ease while hair is towel dryed pretty damp use a hair pick only ,run through hair to the style you would like then use hands only to scrunch stop, and don't even touch the hair until COMPLETELY dry. then scrunch only with fingers if at all,put on hair spray to keep hair from expanding, good luck it will be fine. also if stylist didn;t give you what you wanted ask them to help you with repair procedures, Best wishes Marcia email me with your phone number if I can help with further explanation

Hi, all~*~*~*~ Wow, it seems like I am back in the loop again. My weight is stable, but I had a few days of 'non cooperation' with everything--now I am back!! What got me going was SILLY and well, I shouldn't be afraid to reach GOAL!! I am not far (10 lbs or so) to where I think I'd look very good. I look good NOW and well, I need to jump start myself again to get going!! I had to 're-remind' myself of WHY I can cross my legs, WHY I can walk across the parking lot without huffing/puffing...etc. Been watching DR 90210 and the plastic surgery stuff. That isn't in the cards for me (affordability)..so I got a bit down and said, "What the heck?" Why Should I continue working toward my goal?" Isn't that SOO wrong?????" My best to all today !! Debbie R. -103 lbs almost there

What a magical moment! I had someone at work say, "I don't look cute in jeans like you do" to me. Me? Cute in jeans? I wrote it down for my low days. I feel beyond grateful that I was able to have this surgery and be liberated from the misery of morbid obesity. Thanks for sharing your moment! Susan

Hi everyone how are youall doing. things are going good a few hiccups but all fixable. the other day my sister and i went to a store that sells evening gowns and real fancy dresses, we just wanted to play dressup not bad for 2 women over 50 we never got the chance when we were young. so here we are in the changing room with these wonderful dresses that we could never afford giggling like two silly kids.THEN i saw it the most BEAUTIFUL Dress i have ever seen it was white with sequins snaking up from the bottom and around the back up over the shoulder and over one breast HO MAMMASITA"S it was breath taking i put it on they only had a size 4 it fit just a little snug though it was floor length and just flowed like a soft breeze and made a little swooshing sound when you walked. There was this lady trying on dresses for her daughters wedding and she said to me " HO i envy your size you look beautiful ME she was talking to ME !! I looked at my sister and we just smiled at each other my sister told this lady that i had had surgery and showed her an old picture of me this lady's chin hit the floor she said she had seen it on tv but never believed any of it !! she was truly in shock. it just made me feel so lucky that i was able to have this surgery and be well. thank you god. needless to say the the fantasy dress had to go back on the rack as this cinderellas' checking account laughed out loud, maybe one day !! have a great day everyone.
