Where are my Flirty Thirties?

I'm 36 and live in Atlanta. My surgery is Aug. 31 -- in 13 days!

Is anybody else out there hoping to be done "cooking" (losing weight and getting tucked) in time for their 20th high school reunion? I'm just two years away from that, and I hope I'll be pretty close.

I guess I'm WAY late to this party but I have to chime in. I am 20-16 and don't plan on joining my 30s any time soon. :) Class of 92 and oh! The hair! I am pretty sure the hole in the ozone layer is directly over my small town. We will be having our 20th reunion next year and though I can GUARANTEE I will not have my cheerleading/majorette/softball/flirty figure back by then, I will definitely look a LOT better than I do now! I get sleeved (hopefully) next month so by the time the reunion comes around I should be feeling pretty dang fine. I won't be as skinny as the others but compared to what I am now I will be feeling like the queen of the school. :)

As far as fashion goes, my 14 year old daughter wore ripped blue & white striped jeans with a tank top and oversized (off the shoulder) white tee shirt and Tom's (which were $2 at Family Dollar when I was in school!) today. I could've saved myself SO much money if I had just saved my clothes!

Hey 30s crew! I turned 35 in April. OMG! Can I just tell you that when my son watches MTV now I tell him stories about when they used to show music videos, and Headbanger's Ball. I don't know what the hell this Jersey Shore crap is, but it wasn't on in the 80s!

I was sleeved almost 3 months ago, and I've lost nearly 60 pounds already. I want to get back to my 90s weight of 135. We'll see. I think as long as I can shop in the regular section of the store (nearly there -currently in a 14) that I'll be okay with that. So, I've got a few grey hairs now. You can't stop the sexy!

So funny that you would bring up MTV. I remember Real World 1 and before that when MTV actually played videos.

Hey all. I'll be 39 at the end of June...another Class of '90 big hair gal (though we did get color pictures in our annuals..lol).

We didn't even have MTV available at our local station where I'm from, but we did get Night Tracks Friday night videos...anyone remember those?

That was the ONLY way that I could see new videos was Friday Night Videos...lol. We lived in a very rural area and my parents were not keen on getting a satelite dish in their yard (cable was not an option) and so we had about 4 channels and sadly MTV was not one of them.

Hey no fair that you got color yearbooks. I guess that probably goes back to the rural living in a small town...no extra $$ to pay for color printing!:D

Once again I must say, "Class of '90 Rocks!"

I have celebrated 6 anniversaries of my 29th birthday. I've lost 43 pounds since having surgery in March and wonder why the heck I spent my 20's getting so plump when I should have been living it up. Never too late to start, right?! And with the class of '93 reunion coming up in 2 years, I'm looking forward to showing them all that I've still got it!!! Congrats to everyone on the weight loss!!!

Hi everyone!! I'm 32... class of 97... I remember shredded blue jeans, flip flops, tshirts, and bright blue streaks in my hair biggrin.gif i can't understand why some of these looks are coming back!!! they are so terrible!!! LOL

Oh, and I LOVE Jersey Shore!!!!

Lol...that it does Paul!

when the plastic jewelries came out i was mortified, couldn't believe that style came back, and all the bright color mixtures :o

Class of 95 here. Never been to a reunion and probably never will. High school was so not my thing. However I have lost 75 pounds since my surgery on Feb, 7th. Can't believe how fast it's gone by. Life is much better now than it ever was then.

Hello! I am 36 and my 20yr reunion is in 2013. I won't be surgery eligible (green lit by Aetna) until November 2011. But that gives me plenty of time to git 'er done!

Class of '94 here!!! I'm 35 and had my VSG on 4/25/11...

I was an MTVaholic! I loved Madonna's videos and Devo's too. I swear, they really need to change their name to Reality TV now, since they NEVER play videos anymore! I have to watch Fuse in order to see music or VH1's Pop-Up Video! (I love that show! On VH1-2 now).

((shhhhh....dont tell anyone but I dont like Jersey Shore but I LOVE Jerseylicious!))

I get sleeved on June 14th and I turn 31 the day after that. What a way to spend a birthday!
