I will be 6 months out on dec. 5th 2013 and have been doing good so far. I'm a slow loser but still do my part like watching what I eat, going to the gym, climbing the stairs etc. I am giving this all I got but my thunder thighs are just in the way and it bothers me. I love the results that I see on my body but once I look down on my thighs, disappointment sets in and I feel like I have not been doing anything at all. I'm thinking about having liposuction on my thighs and see if I can get beyond this depression. I have the kind of big fat thighs that when I put my legs together, my thighs bumps up on the inner side. I don't know how else to explain it but it's very annoying and ugly to look at. My mom is even willing to sponsor me though she's done a lot already. Should I wait or just do the liposuction? Highest weight-300, current weight-245(as of 3weeks ago), goal- 160.

Hi. As mentioned, I recently had my TT. Here's a link to my thread.

If you scroll down to post number 41 you can see the before and after photo. In the before photo I looked very fat still. In the after, I have visible abs. It was just the excess skin but it totally looked like fat. My point is even if you have lipo now, with the excess skin left behind you may still not see a drastic improvement. I know that's not very encouraging and I don't mean to be discouraging, but I want you to see my pics so you can see the difference.

I also highly recommend that instead of asking here, go visit a plastic surgeon because he can give you a real accurate assessment....much better than any of us can.

I would hold off on the lipo. I was actually thinking the same thing, naturally I have big thighs and arms. So I know they are going to be my potential challenges no matter how much I lose. I spoke to a cosmetic consultant, she told me I had to at least be 190 or less. Which makes sense getting lipo isn't a " permanent weight loss" the weight has a strong possibility of coming back if workout regiments and healthy eating habits aren't practiced. Your best bet is to lose as much weight as possible than get the lipo.
