Yes please, I looked at your photos. You had plastic surgery after you lost a massive amount of weight? I've thought about doing that!

Thanks. My daughter and I started this adventure in march. We decided to do this together. With the help of everyone on My Fitness Pal and Hungry Girl - we started counting calories and watching what we ate. I would like to say we also exercised but we we didn't do hardly any of that. Surprisingly - with all the recipes and reading labels - the dieting came easy. We sure never starved. I still have more to lose in my legs and I hope exercise will help there. Gotta try that. Losing that much weight was great and looked pretty good with my cloths on - but with clothes off - so much lose skin. From what I read, there wasn't alot I could do about the loose skin on my stomach and arms. I was fortunate to have a friend whose daughter worked for a local plastic surgereon. So I thought what the hell, I would check it out. To make a long story short, bit the bullet and had the surgery last week. I will be paying for this procedure for a few years but it will be worth it. I feel great and doing this will help me with my self esteem and make me more comfortable with my new body. I am ready to get out and date again. So I am going to start living life to the fullest and feeling better about myself. Thanks for asking and thanks to everyone for all their support. Cheryl
