Topic: RE: Plastic / Reconstructive Surgery
Hey Ruth! Nice to see you here. I've not had any plastics done YET. I cannot afford it and I haven't fully finished soul-searching and deciding on it for sure.

I will keep posted to your thread-to see if others can chime in. I am curious to know as well. I also suffer with the extra skin issues as well.

Peace,
T

Anyone used quorn mince?  I've seen the ads on tv for it saying it is high in protein.  Is it higher than beef mince, what about the calories in comparison?

Topic: Plastic / Reconstructive Surgery
Has any one had plastic/reconstructive surgery after losing weight?  I'd love to have something done with all this extra skin.  If you have, where did you have it done, what did you have done, would you recommend it, wish you had something different/more etc.  Did you have to pay/NHS?  Who was your surgeon? And any thing else you fancy sharing...

Would love to hear your experiences

Topic: Under Garments
OK, there is no pretty way of saying this...I've got loads of saggy skin to deal with.  I'm on the hunt for good hold it all in/up things that I can wear.  Any suggestions of where I can get something that isn't too pricey?

I've got one of those things that go up to under my bust, but it rolls down constantly at the top.  I feel like wrapping myself in cling film - I think that would do the trick, but I may have a few problems unravelling myself when nature calls LOL!!!!

Thanks, Ruth

haha, I wish the weather was nice where we are - mind you at least it's not raining!!  We are indoors playing on the Wii - getting a little bit active...not enough to burn off all the extra chocolate calories though!!!!!

Happy Easter to all

Oh Ruth!! Would you consider coming back and giving your critique of Skellig? We won't have cable and we want to know what folks thought of it. Hopefully they will rerun this in the future.

The weather looks nice-so I suspect you are out enjoying it right now!!

Have a lovely day!

Hey Miss Busy Vicky!!

The menu sounds lovely! I went and saw a film last night with Hubby. It was nice to just get OUT and mill about with the other folks. I think we are going to just go on a nice drive and gawk. :)


Hope all is well and that you enjoy the remainder of your YOU time!

Peace,

Hiya!

I gotta tell you-you are doing VERY well! It sounds to me like you are really focused on what you need to do and why. I think that will make all the difference for you and your success!

Plus size clothing prices are a CRIME. I (as many other folks)have many times thought of designing a clothing line that was ATTRACTIVE and RESONABLE to plus size folks. SIGH!!

Tell me more about the books you are reading. Maybe we need to start a thread called "What are you reading"?

Peaceful weekend to you!
