I just went with my mom who got liposuction this morning - I was in the room as they sucked 3 Liters (YES LITERS) of fat from her belly... I'm 237 lbs (down from 243 Woot! ) and really don't want to end up like my mom where I have to spend a fortune to have a procedure like that. I'm 23 days into eating better and working out and today was a mega kick in the *kitten*. Anyone interested in being a friend and helping me through this? I'm happy to reciprocate and be a good MFP friend.

    Congrats on your weight loss, keep up the good work! Glad you are deciding to do this the healthy way! Don't get me wrong if lipo makes your mom feel better about herself I'm all for it but I don't believe it's a replacement for eating well and exercising. Let me know hoe I can help sport you in this journey.

    You can do this! I started out at 267 and have weighed 146 for the last year and a half simply by using this site to count calories. It can be done!

    Keep doing what you're doing. There is nothing like exercising and eating healthier and watching the pounds shed off. You appreciate it more when you work hard to reach your goal.

    Worst part is...now the fat will come back on weird, unnatural places on her! Go for it!
