First time posting pictures, but gonna try anyway...

I officially started working at losing weight (again) last May (2012) because my 25th wedding anniversary was coming up and I had ordered a dress in a Large off the internet, and wanted to be sure it fit, lol. (It did!) I lost 15 lbs over the summer just watching portion sizes and getting moving more...then I joined MFP and the weight REALLY started to melt off!!! So far I'm at about 80 lbs (my ticker says 79 but it's actually more) It's like I got my 'self' back!!! I LOVE my new/old body!!! I recently bought a few 2 piece bathing suits which I wore on my cruise in Feb. Since then I've lost another 10 lbs and I'm going to Vegas in a month so I get to wear them again!! SOOOO I decided to get my belly button pierced!! At 46!!! I love it!!!

    Thanks! I'm glad I did it! I did it as a little reward to myself for coming this far! Haven't decided what I'll do when I hit my goal. Probably something involving diamonds, lol. :D

    That's my goal weight treat too!

    There's something so confident about a belly button piercing! You have to be totally confident in your body to pull it off, as it pulls a spotlight to your stomach!
    Way to go lady!

    I LOVE my belly piercing! I got mine done on our honeymoon 14 years ago when I was much thinner. But I still love it! When I get to goal I am getting a nice belly ring as my reward.

    Same reason you have your tattoo - because she wanted to.

    Thanks for all the positive responses! I'll take some pics in my 2 piece suits in Vegas where my ring shows. :) I'm loving it. It didn't hurt at all (no more than a pinch) and isn't even sore (yet) healing. I always exercise in my sports bra and shorts, so I love seeing it, and hubby does too! :D

    As for the 'umm why?' Well, why not? I've always wanted one, and when my daughter got hers I thought- someday I'm gonna do that!!! So I did! :D

    I like the new ink idea too! I have one tattoo (inner ankle and foot) and I'd love another, just not sure what yet!

    Love it! I'm 47 and just went to Vegas on a business trip about 3 weeks ago. My hubby has joked for the past few years for me to get a belly ring. Well, I did it on this trip. It was a spur of the moment decision to go in to the tattoo parlor. I've lost 13 lbs since September with 10lbs to hit my goal so this was my incentive to keep it going!! Just bought the 2-piece too-keeping me focused and I'll be able to show off the new jewels this summer! Enjoy yours! (fyi-on the surface I'm the most conservative person you could meet but something happens when I go to Vegas:).

    That's great Luvmichnata!!! We love Vegas! We barely gamble, but we love to walk around and people watch and just see all the sights :D I am going to see my best friend from home who is from Seattle (I'm in Manitoba- we're both originally from Texas). She hasn't seen me since last April- BEFORE I started losing weight :D Can't wait!! :D

    Congrats! What a fun reward!! I got mine pierced a few years back as a motivation to see my abs again, and I love it. BTW, you look amazing! I looked at some of your photos on your profile and you have changed so much! You look years younger and you are rocking those bathing suits!! Way to go!

    Is your skin loose in your stomach? Mine is. Can't seem to get that bad boy tight. Want a bb ring but self conscious when I see the loose skin when I sit or bend. Lol
