Do You All?!?!

OMG... I thought I was the only one with hairy arms! LOL... I knew facial hair and other areas were issues but always thought my arms hair was so long. I bleach it occasionally. It doesn't bother me when I am tan.

As for my face, I wax every 3 weeks and shave with a personal groomer if anything pops up between then.

 Yep, hairy arms here.  I shave em.

I started at 324lbs and a size 26.  After losing 100 lbs, I became pregnant with my first daughter, who was born in March 2011.  My second daughter was born in September 2013.  I have maintained a healthy lifestyle and now hover around 160lbs.  I would like to get back to the 140lbs before I became pregnant with my second daughter.  The sleeve literally gave me LIFE - two beautiful, healthy little girls.  My husband had his VSG with Dr. Marema on 10/1/2012 and is on his weight loss journey, currently down 90lbs.

Spironolactone has helped me SO much with my body hair...especially arm hair...it's practically gone! I hardly have any leg hair or pubes either, lol (sorry if that's tmi!).  Not that I'm complaining but it's a little irritating to have so little leg hair (which can be shaved so easily) and SO MUCH HAIR ON MY FACE!!

I have awful sideburns that I had been waxing (religiously, every 4 weeks****il TODAY when I had my first electrolysis session! Yeah...it hurts and it's pricey but it's permanent and waxing there hurts like a motherf***er too!!  I also have a few whisker-like stray hairs (more every year, I think) on my chin, neck, and chest that I used to just pluck but am now having electrolyzed too.

I'm so excited about the electrolysis, guys. I've been wanting to do something about my hideous sideburns for about 15 years - more than half my life!
