thanks Mandi and Yoda. yup love that lycra...if u find a full bodysuit let me know!

yoda dont ignore us!!!

Thanks mookie, believe it or not, it really doesnt feel any different, it's like i cant see the changes in myself.

That is sooo true, I know that I feel better, but when I look at my leg or something, I think OMG, then I can't imagine what I musta looked like before. TOTAL DENIAL!!

Yeah!! Way to go Neenagh.

P.S: Did not picture you as a blond!!

Neenagh, great pics. You look great!!!

Hehe lila that's cuz i'm really a red head!

I think she's one of those blonds who thinks she's a redhead.. strawberry blond?! psssssshh... gimme a break!

LOL

NO really! i'm a redhead, but i dye it!!! honest!

I hear ya Neenagh...I'm a redhead too but I have blond and brown highlights put in my hair.

Green here is a strawberry blonde.

yoda and green, i wonder if we took a poll how many redheads are banded? is the fat gene linked to the red hair gene? lol

Oh, ugh! You might be right. We're fat and we have to stay indoors during the summer! I had spent decades of my life explaining to my work colleagues why I don't have a tan. This happened summer after summer after summer. I was relieved when the news broke about skin cancer. I was so tired of being treated like a freak!:phanvan

Yes, I am overweight and I buy sun block by the gross. This is my life and this is why I dread global warming.:huytsao This is why I was never able to finish the sailing lessons that my husband and I undertook. This is also why I spend a significant part of our trips to the tropics in our room with the A/C on the polar setting.:omg: Oh, all of this is Sad City for Green.....:cry

green i use spf 80, wear hats and long sleeves and pants in the summer! someone once told me i was so white i was blue! have you also noticed that brown fat looks better than white fat? i always see fat brown pple in shorts and swimsuits and somehow its not as awful as my own white fat. One of my grandchildren is so white he's luminous. he's the only one, poor bugger. the others took from the mediterrean side.

Thankfully Mr Yoda is just as (if not moreso) fair as I am....so we both end up being sun phobics together.....it was funny when we went to Mexico a year and a half ago.....no sun for us bunnies, I tell ya!

But...psssssssssssst, Green & Neenagh....go to Columbia for a holiday.....when I went there (a loooong time ago - pre fat!) the guys went absobloody nuts over my red hair and white skin......they loved it, let me tell ya!!!! LOL

omigawd! That is so true! We whitey white folks really do look fish belly fluorescent white. People who have a little colour to their skin can look kinda adorable when they are tubby. But not us!!!! *sob* Not us!
