I voted yes, but only because it's not a sit down and order restaurant...I think as places to eat out goes, it's one of the healthiest, although I don't eat there now since I can't have the bread and I would want my old friend the 6"meatball...:smile2:

You are sooo right...I need to start doing this again :thumbup: ...I had done this for a while, some time ago, and I actually ate better and lost again! It does work and you will be surprised at what you really are putting in your mouth, or are about to put in until you go to write it down, and decide...nope! Good luck to us all! I'm gonna go get my book out and start now! later, Joanie

The scars on my arms are not small, but I am not at all self conscious about them, like i was with the flab hanging...I have attached a more recent pic for you. In fact, I'm gonna take it right now....haha! I can also tell you I have been bad about using the maderma like my dr suggested, and I should be doing my 5 lb weight exersizes, but have been real lax about doing either. I have also posted the before pic my surgeon took, for comparison purposes. Thanks for your interest! Later, Joanie :biggrin:)

Pics from 2 weeks out from lower facelift surgery...dr says I am healing very fast. I have been out in public already, with friends who don't know, and no one said anything, so I guess they couldn't see any scars...they were guys, though....haha! I love it, and it just keeps getting better. more later, Joanie )

4 years last month...and, so far, no problems.

Just wanted to post up some of the pics from my facelift... day 1....day 3.....day6

:thumbup: Congrats on the TT, and I'm glad you're feeling so good. It just keeps getting better, doesn't it? Keep in touch! Joanie :smile2:)

:thumbup: I think the scars are looking better everyday...but no matter, it's better than the hanging flab...lol... I will try to post some newer pics soon. More to come, Joanie :smile:)

:thumbup:All things considered, I don't think the pain was bad...not nearly as bad as the bruising makes it look. And to me, I would rather have the scars than the flab hanging. Everyone is different, but I think you'll be fine. Let me know what you decide. Good-Luck! Later, Joanie :smile:)

:smile: You're gonna be fine...I agree with everyones opinions, and have also had some similar feelings, but my favorite quote now is: "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" I love that! So true, don'tcha think? Hang in there...keep in touch on here and let us know how you do! :thumbup: later, Joanie )

Okay, so it's official...I must be addicted to PS...I am scheduled for a lower facelift on May 25th. How vain can I get, I ask you...don't answer that...lol. I will be posting before and after pics of my face ...I also got the before pics from Dr. Burns so I am posting my before arms...haha! Thanks for reading ya'll...Joanie )

I totally understand where you're coming from...Night-time is my downfall...I relax in front of the TV after dinner, and all of a sudden I want to snack...so hard to not snack...My only defense is having nothing in the house that I want. I go to the pantry and look and look, then go sit back down. Do you have a friend you can call at those times when you want to eat? I know there were times when I didn't want to talk to anyone, but when I did I felt so much better. I wish you luck on your journey, it's not an easy one for sure...but you can do it my friend! :thumbup: Keep in touch...Joanie :cursing:)

Howdy ya'll...just an update...I have done better with my eating habits the last couple of days...most of the holiday junk foods are gone, and I'm going grocery shopping in just a bit to stock up on safe foods...lol...I haven't lost any weight yet, but I'm not letting that deter me from my goals. :thumbup:Hope ya'll are doing well...keep in touch! Joanie :tt1:)

Been there...frustrating, I know, but hang in there...

Okay, so...I'm still looking for someone in Beeville, but I am retired now and can no longer go to the pool...also, I am presently not a member of a gym, but that may change soon. So, just thought I would put this out there again.
