well, you are already 99% there ... just cut off that skin and voila... h o t!

but the garment should go on better with a smaller you... :biggrin: i cannot wait til surgery!! CANNOT WAIT!!! comeon, just gut wack me now, please!! :wink2: diet, ehh... pounds are slowly coming off. i am trying atkins induction for a little bit. not sure how long i'll last on it, but hey, bacon, eggs, steak ... i'll take it! i'd tell your PS's office. specially since you have a bit still til your surgery. it's antibiotics, but i'd still disclose. hope it's feeling better soon!

im up for a meet and greet!

im doing ok ... having the day from hell at work, but ya know... i'll live. it wouldnt be a day at work without someone screaming at me.. i am down to 38 days (not including today and the day of, of course ) i cannot imagine them trying to fit me for a garment right now... good thing they are only providing me with a binder, i 'get' to order my own garment myself.

that's exactly why i chose to not go to one PS. he even knows and "has lunch with" my band doctor. so what? he was not at all into how good it would look, just that it would look "OK" clothed ... i want damn fine clothed and really good nekkid.:wink2:

Harley, but it will be SO worth it. this is great that we're all going through this together!!

yikes! you doing OK?

i am having a hernia repair as well. it helps with the cost. not a bunch, but every little bit helps.

you are going to look even HAWTER!!! :ohmy: welcome back ... i am extremely jealous and have decided that i am no longer going to speak with you ... :wink2::wink2::wink2: such a lucky ducky, France for weeks, a new hot bod ... <whine> i wanna come too!!! oh but pardon me... HELL NO. you are so incredibly fit and look amazing... point me thier way and they can pick on my big belly, that's fine. i'll tell them exactly where they and their nasty comments can go! grrrrrrrrrr hope your shower went well. you think the back pain may be due to the fact that you may hunch over and walk? i've seen those complaints before ??? just how tight is this garment? im concerned that i'll have problems getting in/out of mine at work. do they have ummm ... crotch holes (for lack of a better term) so i can go and not take the whole thing off? i am doing ok. today is my 'busy time' at work, but im at a lull right now. we'll see how long that lasts.

i am not worried about fat grams or calories. i do, however, HAVE to plan when im on atkins or will not succeed. [/color] i LOVE the atkins shakes. especially the Caramel Latte. only place i found them though is online. i normally go through Amazon.

im starting tomorrow. i already have my menu for the next 3 days. tomorrow: b - atkins caramel latte shake l - cajun topper fish (frozen filet) 1.5 cups of lettuce with ham and cheese and ranch dressing s - atkins caramel latte shake d - johnsonville brat (1-1.5 depending on hunger) salad maybe veggie - maybe green beans.

tulip, we have the same surgeon, he's offered it to me as well, im just too chicken to take it. i'd probably get hooked.

mbanja TT involves muscles, skin and excess fat too.

i just found this thread. i am starting Atkins induction for as long as i can go

no, body fat % is determined by either measurements and your weight or a 'pinch' test. it can also be done under water - that is the most sophisticated and accurate method. my trainer at 24 hour fitness does it monthly for me via measurements. BMI is based upon your height and weight only.

i cant wait!!

Hi Alex, am i missing something? i used to be able to ignore a good chunk of posts in the "new threads", now when i click the new threads link you gave earlier, i have posts from Intro, General Questions, etc (threads I was previously ignoring.) how can i not get these threads to show up in new posts? thanks!

simply amazing. congrats!!

Neal, whats your page's URL? do you wanna share it?

i'll see if i can convince DH to allow me (heh) to go in for ya.

faith, i cant remember the name of it. there are a few out there and one of them 'sucks in' much better. i dont have any new ones with tags. my suggestion, if there is one near you, go look at them first (and try on, you want it to be really quite snug). if i have a moment this weekend, i'll go check, but Rick is really trying to have me avoid that store cause when i go, i leave with bags of stuff..

oh Faith, im sorry your friend didnt say anything. that has to be discouraging!

karey, i think we all need to do that. i seriously think i have some sort of body dysmorphic disorder. yes, i am still big, but most days, i cant tell a difference between now and 18 months ago. my DH thinks i'm nuts.

i rarely go anywhere without my "sucker-inner"... i get mine from The Avenue, they are about $35 each, but so worth it.

oh yes, my "mons area" looks like to put it bluntly, a ball sack. the 'fix' for this is called a 'mons lift' and i am getting mine lifted with my TT surgery in 41 days. my poor poor 'girls'. tube socks with tennis balls in them. nothing that a good bra wont fix for now.
