Hey if it is then Im pathetic with ya....

Pattygirl.....I had wanted one for years but i was too embarrassed they are painful mainly when they go over bone and if u do color the shading. Mine start over my shoulder blade and run down to my lower back. But i tell u what as i laid there on that table It was worth the pain i wasnt embarrassed i felt renewed....It was my gift to myself. Good luck ladies ya'll will be getting ur tatoos i'd love to see pics of them when u do.

lol I love it!!!! I got tattoos also once i felt comfortable being half naked if front of a stranger. I got five butterflies down my back representing new life. And one smack dab on my buttcheek just for fun. A USDA CHOICE MEAT STAMP. LMBO.... Have fun with it you deserve it.

Oh yeah i get reminded every now and then more if i get to the point where I'm hungry. I find what helps me is to graise between meals, for you that wont help yet cuz of the stage your at but later down the road. i usually do a handful of nuts or raisins, or apple slices without the peel with a little peanut butter. This helps me so I dont scarf down my meals.

I agree with many on here. You need to have a real heart to heart with her. Those that have never had an issue with their weight, have a hard time understanding its not as easy as exercise and eat less. If that were the case no one would be fat. You need to tell her your doing this for you, this is a tool that will help you succeed. Talk to her if yo u dont talk you will never truely know what her issue is with the procedure. Maybe its fear, insecurities u wont know. You do need a good support system at home, i hope u can work through this so that supportive person is her. Good luck

I was a big girl for a long time. I always had to let my personality lead the way. I was never noticed for the beautiful person I was trapped in a world where being a big person isnt whats attractive. Even though I was a big girl I was never a slob, I want to say that even though the weight that held me back is gone, I am still the same beautiful person I was before. Funny how now Im noticed walking down the halls, walking into a grocery store, or having a drink with the girls. As much as people will say they are not judgemental towards overweight people, have never been on the heavy side of the scale. Having been on both sides now I see the difference how I'm treated what doors have been opened to me peronally and professionally. There are no words that can describe the feeling of no longer being the wallflower. I am no longer sitting on the sideline watching my life pass me by.

Lol....Im the same way Im now a lights on everything off im more confident now and dont mind if my hubby sees me we have an awesome time together

I remember hating to go shopping. Nothing ever fit right and just cause i was a big girl didnt mean i was old. i hated the lights in the dressing room cuz i would sweat so bad. I could never find anything and i would go home depressed. well it is so nice to just pick up something and not to have to even try it on, cuz i know it will fit. i love that i can find stuff so much cheaper too. Now my only problem is keeping my teenage daughters out of my closet. i actually luv shopping now my pocket book may not agree but it is so worth it!

FLORIDAYS U LOOK AMAZING!

You know Whats awesome my husband is finding it easier to shop for me too. i think sometimes hes having more fun with my new body. Im like a new toy so he finds all kinds of stuff for me to wear.....lol

thank you.......taking it one day at a time we will win this battle...

Congrats, keep it up u will hit that goal;-)

Ive lost 160 lbs. and I thought I was gonna be a saggy mess. The only work i need is a boob job not that i need it i want it i miss my beautiful full breast. Funny thing about breast they're nothing but fat and were the first to go.:-(....What I think helps is how slow or how fast u lose ur weight. My has been slow and steady over the last three years giving me time to work on building muscle. Drink plenty of water and work closely with your doctor to monitor your progress. Your young your skin will bounce back.

I wouldnt make a big deal about it she may be a little embarrassed about it. My husband and I have plenty of toys we have several that we use together. If she is like me when i use them alone Im still thinking of my husband theres still nothing better than him. i would say why not u go find a toy to surprise her for ur next session there are some great ones that u can wear that stimulate u and her at the sametime. nothing wrong with just spicing it up a little. Good luck;-)

Way to go and all i have to say is keep doing it. It gets even better as the weight comes off and then its nice to be able to watch him do it...lol for me that is the best part like u i was uncomfortable especially cause i couldnt tell if he could breathe down there now nothing is in the way just have fun!!!!!

Its ok u are not the first and u sure wont be the last. As u learn ur new found friend u will learn what works and what Doesnt u will find urself loving food u would have never touched before. For me dark meat chicken its not so dry and Fish... I wouldnt have gone near it before now i luv it! Remeber to chew and when u think ur done chew some more...lol it gets better i promise.

well said mis73.........it get easier with time
