I can't believe we're finally on the losers bench! Congrats to everyone on this side of the journey. Keep us updated with your progress.

Our April first peeps are Deana Wright, MissMeagan and Nella. Ladies, tell us everything!

I told her if my body is a temple my tattoos are the stained glass windows. She did not like that. She said I was scarring my body. I called her on that though because she has hee ears pierced and she had a breast reduction. You can't pick and choose what scars are ok and what's not. She didn't like that either. Most of mine are on my right leg because I'm doing a leg sleeve. She will not allow me to come to her house if my tattoos are visible. Once I'm at goal weight I want to get my left arm done. They can't expect me to wear a jacket in Texas. My husband doesn't want me to so it because he thinks my parents will disown me, but I think that is their loss. My husband has a lot more tattoos than me ans they don't care to see his because he is a boy. My dad doesn't even know how many I have because my mom will not let me show him. Same with grandparents etc. My mom hates my tattoos.

My mom hated mine at first and was really mad. A year later I asked her what shed like for her birthday, she said "money cuz she was saving for a tattoo!" Very ironic I know. She got a cool vine with my dads initials in a heart.

That's nice she came around but I'm 100% positive my mom will never get a tattoo.

My 70 year old father in law just got my mother in laws's face tattooed on his arm. Very sweet.

Well..my deeply traditional southern lady mother had told me I was gonna look like white trash yay me!! I do keep most covered up except what u can see in a tank top. She doesn't even know how many I have and my dad neither. I'd thought about getting a huge piece of my stomach it's FL and if I ever get to where I could wear a bikini I have lots of scars from previous surgeries as well. I've always been the rebel/black sheep. I'm kinda use to it now. Funny how she always runs to me for help and advice tho!!

Yeah. I have been kind of the star of my family as well as the black sheep. My family is the southern meat and potatoes type. Hunti g and fishing. I used to hunt, but then was a vegetarian for four years. I couldn't keep my protein up and had to begin eating meat again. I am the only person in my family to ever graduate college. Now with the tattoos I'm definitely the odd one out as no one in my family even has one tattoo. I'm the ONLY one.

This is me today

You look great@

You just described me. Except for the vegetarian thing. I've never tried that even tho it's crossing my mind lately the way I'm having a hard time keeping my meat down. I moved away from my family cause I've never met the mold.

My parents did not mind the tats, my dad hates my nose stud and labert. But my tragus piercings did not bother him.

Wow. That is kind of where my husband is with his family. His step mom just got a tattoo so his dad has stopped complaining about his. He doesn't want his wife mad at him. My dad saw a small part of one of mine and did not talk to me for three months so I don't know what he would do if he saw all of them. I think I have 15. Like I said I want to get my whole arm done when I reach my goal weight. I think tattoos are beautiful. I was an art major though too. I also want to learn to tattoo. I think I might end up getting disowned. I just want to do what makes me happy though. ...

Went to my doctors appointment today. I am 2 1/2 months out and down 50 lbs. woot woot! I don't weigh at home cause the scale stresses me out so it was a really cool surprise today.
