I'm 41, and have children and things aren't as tight as they could be. I donot want surgery, having had sections. I'm sure you will be fine. Best of luck.

Good luck. I hope it all works out for you Annabananas. Might have to take it slow. I have very baggy tummy.

Hmmmmm. I have a long way to go. I think if I attempt 1LB a week. It will take me approx 2+ years to get down to ideal. But the temptation to lose it faster is great especially when events come up. I have worked out my basal metabolic rate and its 1672 calories a day X 1.2 sedentary life style = 2006 cals a day to maintain…
