I love tattoos! They tell my story and have significant meaning to me. I have 5 right now. One of them is large across my chest. I want to get one to signify my journey thru all of this but I'm not sure what it would be. If you had to get a tattoo that represents what you have been thru with this weight loss journey, what would it be?

Maybe a compass...or a butterfly. A compass can represent a journey, a butterfly represents change

I am loving seeing the pictures of everyone's tattoos. I have three and am going next week for number four. My last one has a lot of meaning to me. It is in honor of my weight loss, to remind me how far I have come and signifies the new beginning to my life. I absolutely love it.

I have a teal butterfly on the left upper breast. My story is not as "special" as some on this thread. I got it after I was divorced and was hanging out with co-workers (I never worked while I was married) so I was about 34 years old. My new co-workers were surprised that I didn't have a tat so they took me out to get one.

Even though I was an adult when I decided to get the tat, I hid the fact from my mother for another 5 years. She found out when the family was together for a reunion and I was laying out at the pool and my suit wasn't covering one of the wings.

I have 12. I just got my last 2 yesterday for my 30th birthday.

Rose that got covered by tribal butterfly

Stars and the moon on my lower back

3 butterflies representing me and my boys on my ankle

Stars going over left shoulder

Saying on my leg

Sister tattoo on my foot

Flowers with daddy's girl written on my right shoulder

My son whose passed footprint from the day he died and it says my little angel and his name with date of birth and death

I have flowers with my other sons names on my forearm

And my 2 new ones

Right shoulder says sometimes you have to fall before you fly

Left shoulder over sons footprint says with pain comes strength

Most of thwm mean a lot to me!! 2 of them I could do without but they are part of me.

I have around 20 or so tattoos at the moment. Some are just a few inches big and are dotted about. some are quite large and cover a lot if my arm and chest and some cover a lot of my back. I love my tattoos and I only plan to get more. I'm working up my left leg now and once I hit my target weight I plan to reward myself with a big very detailed image on my right side ribs and side. I'm saving up for it already as it will cost several several hundred pounds I think.

Enjoy your tattoos, make good choices you'll have them for life x x x

I have 6, including a full back piece that covers a terrible scar from open heart surgery. I'm getting a new one to remember my niece who died on January 4. I have a great portrait of my soul dog Otto, who passed away three years ago. The only problem is that my tattoos have drooped because of loose skin...unexpected wls side effect!

( hubby plays bass and I sing) then there are two notes above, one pink (daughters birthstone color) one green, (sons birthstone color) then one below that has an angel wing for my daddy who passed away.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
