I think that you should do what you feel comfortable with. You have a lovely face that is accentuated when your hair frames it. If you decide that you want long hair for your wedding, you can always get temporary extensions.

Congratulations, Longhorn! I'm so jealous! Your goal weight is just around the corner! :cursing:

Does anyone have any suggestions for toning and trimming inches off of the inner thigh?

Welcome, Alor! This challenge ended today, so we won't be continuing with these series of threads. However, there is a new weight loss challenge under a different thread, "Spring Into Weight Loss." Please join us there!!!

You're all so awesome!!! Let's keep it up! :cursing:

CONGRATULATIONS! Your picture almost made me cry, too! Great job! :thumbup:

Before and after pics are great. They're extremely inspirational...but I am so sick of seeing the pictures that people take at specific angles to make themselves look thinner. C'mon people! Don't just be honest with us, be honest with YOURSELF! Stop holding the camera higher then your face and sticking your neck out. You're not fooling anyone but yourself!

Cool! Thanks for the suggestions! I currently use just the elliptical for 40 minutes a day and have noticed the most results in my butt, outer thighs, and calves. Thankfully this week I will be entering my 8th week post-op so I can incorporate some strength training into the mix. I feel like I'm definitely losing inches, but I want to make sure that the ones left behind are as toned as possible! As it stands now, everything just seems loose and deflated, especially the extra skin on the upper part of my inner right thigh (so gross!). Chickie, I've seen your pics and you look frickin' phenomenal! It doesn't look like you have any saggy skin! What specific exercise regime have you followed?

I am fully aware that my short term goal is crazy. My SIL's wedding is April 26th. I would like to reach "Onederland" by then. Of course I have a sinister motive, but it seems to be enough to keep me going (muhahahaha!). My husband and I were guilted into having her in our wedding party and she was such a tw*t! My revenge? To look better than her in her own wedding photos! Childish, I know, but I can't sink myself to her level and give her the same piece of the hell that she gave me. So instead I will relish in my own inner sense of retribution. On December 30th when I set my goal, I had to lose 67 pounds to get there. As of this morning, I have 77 days to lose 42.5 pounds (HA!). If I keep going the way I have (average loss of 20 pounds a month), I know I can do it. And I know that all of you can meet your short term goals as well!!!!

I think I'm more frightened of McCain. He doesn't seem mentally stable. I think he dreams of seeing a big mushroom cloud in the Mid-East and being referred to as "Fuehrer McCain." I think Hillary will be a push-over as president. There will be just a lot of spinning wheels in Washington and not a lot getting accomplished. She's a great public speaker (as far as robots are concerned), but I don't think she can back it up with action.

Does anyone else fear that if the race for the presidency ultimately boils down to Hillary vs. McCain, McCain will win? He frightens the bejeezus out of me. If he does find himself elected, I'll be coming up there to spend some quality time with you, Green. :biggrin:

Wow, Jill! The pounds are just falling off! Keep up the great work!
