Hi Kim,
you look fabulous.
I went to a support group meeting back at the end of June because there was going to be a plastic surgeon there. He was informative and very friendly. I really enjoyed meeting him. I wish he was closer to my area, but he isn't.
He talked alot about the panni area and a lower body lift. One thing he said that made a lot of sense is if you are doing your lower body and a bust lift, do the lower body first because the breast lift done first will cause the nipples to stick up after the lower body lift is done. he had a picture of a women who had a breast lift done first by someone else and then she came to him for the lower body lift and it really did look wierd. So make sure you discuss it with your PS and see what his thoughts are on doing which surgery first.
I am going to need a lower body lift and most important to me is to get my arms done. They have always been huge even as a child and now the kids at church love to use my hanging arms as a play toy. It is ugly and shirts don't fit good in the correct size because of them.
Well, keep up with your journey.

TGIF EVERYONE....
Hope you're all having a great Friday. Of course it's raining again here. We certainly don't have to worry about no rain... JEEZ enough already....
No exercise for me today, as of yet. Maybe if the darn rain stops I can get out later with the girls. How's everyone else doing???? My weight continues to go down... I know this won't last, but I sure love it while it's happening.....
Not sure why its moving again. I think it's because I up'd my protein. Been drinking it daily again... who knows, could just be my time.... Either way, I'll take it.

Topic: RE: I can find the time to exercise
Carolyn....
First of all.............. YAY for you & all the other single Moms out there that continue to work full time. I am not single, but sure did feel like it when my girls were young. I have twins, then had my 3rd daughter when the twins were 10 1/2 months old. My husband worked nights the entire time they were young. Therefore, he would not be home when we were up & out the door in the morning & would be sleeping when we got home. It was very exhausting. I kept my full time job as well. I remember coming home with 3 babies, doing dinner, baths, play time...then bed. I certainly was not in the mood for exercise either. The good thing with your situation is your son is getting older & he probably loves to jump around & play. Take advantage of those moments. Heck even if it's 5 minutes here & there it all adds up girl. Think of those times throughout the day & I bet you're getting more exercise in than you think. What about breaks at work. I don't know what you do for a living but you may be able to take 4 - 5 minute breaks & just walk around your building.
At any rate, remember to try to enjoy this time. Have fun with your son, time flies by so fast. I remember when my girls started kindergarten, now they're 12, 13 & 13 & in Middle school
............ The scary part is we all love to shop...
Take care & keep posting.... We would never flame you.....just support here.
Have a great day
Tammy

Lisa,
You're doing wonderful & you look great
.....
This sure has been an incredible journey. I thank God every day for blessing me with a wonderful surgeon and giving me the opportunity to use this tool properly with ALL the benefits. I'm also so darn thankful for all my August friends... oh jeez....I hate the thought of what I'd do without each & every one of you... I love you all
& cannot express the thanks & appreciation I feel when I think of everyone on here.
Keep us posted on your PS journey. I'm still up in the air with what I want to do. Just hate to think of the pain...but the end result............WOOO HOOOO.
Keep up the great work...
Tammy

Kim,
Hey girl....it's GREAT to hear from you. You're doing wonderful. I'm so glad that your journey continues to be one of SUCCESS. Always remember to Celebrate that. I haven't started any PS consults as of yet. Not sure if or when I will. Probably not until we're done paying for the girls braces, then I can use all my flexible spending towards it. My stomach isn't too bad, my arms & thighs aren't that great, but both those surgeries look sooooo painful. Guess we'll see down the road what I decide. I have about 18 lbs to my surgeons goal & 37 to my personal goal so as I get closer, we'll see what I decide.
Keep us posted on your progress & let know how you're doing. Love hearing from you.
You're doing awesome
((((HUGS)))) &
Tammy

Kimmie!!
I AM So PROUD of YOU!!! 

Look Im getting cardio!!
I remember when you posted and we all boosted you back and look how well you have done! Only you can take credit for your journey and Im glad we all helped you!
I did peek into your profle..You need to do some updatin' girl! AND you and I both
have our Surgiversary same Day!
I will be thinking of you and beam you some positive rays on 8/15!
I am not yet at my goal weight- but my surgeon has been documenting that I have rashes and panni .I do not have rashes (yet) but I have Aetna and she knows what they wanna see..I hope to be under 200 by 8/15. I have gone from a tight 26 to size 14, and don't think I did size 14 for more than a month when I was in college. I grad HS at 175, and I was hoping to be somewhere around that by XMAS. LOL
Stay strong on your journey and discipline. Keep being proud of you and how far you have come. I'm proud of everyone here. I just turned 50 last week and I swear I look more like 25 than when I was actually 25! LOL
P.S. You are a Hottie!!
Hugs
Donna
