Happy New Year everyone!!!

Ok so i thought it would be fun if we start off the new year by posting some new years resolutions!!!

Hopefully we get this thread more active again!!

Hey Ms Carol, welcome back. That should do the trick. What have you been up to and what is one goal for the next two weeks?

Hi Guys,

I have not tried the chocolate cheerios, maybe I could mix that with the coco krispies for more Fiber. Well, I am a crazy Zumba freak. I dance Monday Wednesday & Saturday. I am starting another one tonight a different instructor.

I just love to dance and especially enjoy the cool down when we do the more sensual dancing. It is almost like India soft belly dancing. I have a neighbor who has twin Far eastern Indian girls that are dancing. They dresses are beautiful I want to ask if I can go, but I am not sure if it is a religious ritual too, I don't want to

offend anyone.

Where is everyone? We should have a forum reunion next month and hopefully everyone will check in.

My inner thighs are really hanging it soooo gross.

I am so tempted to go to Thailand and have a tummy tuck and thigh lift, it is pretty cheap there and my hubby has a lot of frequent fliers. But can you imagine being in paradise and strapped to a bed.

Has anyone looked into plastic surgery anything for under 3000?

I just don't have the rashes for documentation.

WOW and WOW

First of all Howdy to everyone!! It's been such a long time since I've been on here..I'm happy to see some of the old names and face!!! Missed you all so much!!!

I see that you all are doing well....

Im glad to be back...

Hey everyone! So good to see you all. I started a February thread at http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f90/sharin-love-marchies-2007-a-109666/#post1410294

See you there!

So tell me how this works once the fat is gone and you have the skin kinda of hanging.

Great to hear from you, Janine--I think of you often and wonder how you ar doing, how your children are doing, etc. Looks like you are doing well with your new band--so glad!

As far as the skin--I'm not sure there is much we can do about that other than exercise for muscle tone underneath, which doesn't do a thing for the skin. It seems most people who take care of it get plastic surgery. I'm not sure I see that in my future at my age. My biggest problem is my stomach flap. Sometimes I get sores and irritation under it but I can usually take care of it with powder and keeping it really dry. I try to buy clothes that have tummy controls in them and that helps with disguising it but I don't ee any way to eliminate it other than PS. I know if you have documented irritation you can often get insurance to cover the PS (I've read where some people put dish detergent under there to irritate it before seeing their doctor). Anyway, that's all I know about it.

Hope all is well with your family! Karen
