Tanning Beds w/bands



Recommended Posts

Oh I tried the best of the best self tanners "Clarins" 40.00 a bottle, and the cheap ones too it looked great in the beginning but then found I looked Orange ...totally fake looking to me.. For all my 15+ years of using tanning beds , I see a dermatoligist regurlarly every 6 months and strip down naked and have her examine every inch of me..so far so good

I feel happier and healthier with a tan and 100 lbs lighter I know I look better with a tan

AMEN....LaMadem!! I couldn't agree with you more!! I have now been officially tanning for 1 month in a half and I feel so much better. I got my base tan in a standard bed and now I am in the Euro-bed. THis has no UV light and it' equivalent to 6-standard tans. I only go once a week now! As for my scares, I have a tan tummy with a touch of red! I call it my war wonds!lol.........

I had a spray tan today becuase I have a formal thing on tomorrow night. I dont know, I've never been a huge tanning bed user anyway, just every now and then, but since losing weight, my face does look a little older and I just cannot bring myself to accelerate the aging process by baking in a tanning bed. I know I'll look good now but will regret it like hell in five years time.

The first time I had a Magic Tan (in those booths, no attendant necessary) I chose Level 2 and it was a bit too orange, not to bad. But today I had Level 1 and its a gorgeous colour, not really obvious - but enough to take the winter pallor off me and its a lovely golden brown. No stink and no streaking either and I know from previously that if you look after your skin as they recommend you get a good 7 days out of a tan.

I think I'll be doing that weekly this summer, stuff it we can just eat baked Beans to pay for it. I'm a child of the 80's, brown is better to me!

I tan twice a week and have no problems with it. I look much thinner with a brown glow than my normal albino white skin. I think everything in moderation is alright IMO.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
