Broken Belly Needs Tummy Tuck - YUCKY PICTURES!!!
PLEASE DO NOT BE MEAN ABOUT MY PICTURES! I AM VERY UNCOMFORTABLE PUTTING THIS ON THE INTERNET!!! I have had three babies and I got VERY big with each of them. My stretch marks actually ripped and bled with my first baby. In February I decided to get serious about getting in shape. I was a squishy mom. I worked out hard and…

Hernia/Tummy Tuck Help!
I visited a general surgeon today who told me that I have an umbilical and ventral hernia. I also have diastasis recti (ab muscles are separated). He told me that he can take care of the hernias but not the diastasis. This is repaired by sewing the muscles back together and is done as a part of a tummy tuck. He says if I…

Marine Corps Ball pix last year and this year! WOW!
I was so proud of my accomplishments when I saw the pictures of this year's ball and compared it to last year's. I hadn't gone shopping and all my old dresses were huge on me - well, all but one: THE ONE I WORE TO THE BALL WHEN I WAS 19!!!! That's right! I am a hoarder! I have kept it for sentimental reasons and this year…

Don't know how to dress my new body!
I used to be a very snug size 10 (probably would have fit a 12-14 but I never allowed myself to try any on). I am now a comfortable size 4! I have done it in less than 6 months. I knew how to dress my old body. I looked for shirts that bloused out at the waist - nothing snug ever - skirts that flaired. I am a teacher and…

Fat Clothes - Toss or Pack Away?
I have lost over 30 pounds so far and would like to lose 10 more. I have TONS of size 8 to 12 clothes in my closet. I am now a size 6-8. I want to go through my closet and weed out the old but I am not sure what to do with it. I am a teacher and I have so many great work clothes. I have spent a lot on those clothes and I…

How do you stay motivated?
I feel like I either have to make this my life or I will flake out. I am trying to really embrace the revolution! I have made myself a sticker chart (as a good first grade teacher would:happy: !), I have changed my ringtone so when I get a call it sings "So you say you want a revolution" and I say "Heck ya, I do!!!", and I…

Who follows the diet???
How many of you are following the diet? I don't think it is practical for my life as I have a family to feed and don't want to buy all that stuff for me. (I am also a very picky eater!) I have been trying to keep my calories around 1200 just like the meal plan (it says this on the first page of the meal plan guide). I am…

My kids like me fat!
I began my weigh loss journey in February and have worked hard to lose 30 pounds. I am now 5'2" and weigh 133. I would like to lose another 10 pounds. I am currently a size 8 and would like to be a toned size 6. I have three daughters (2, 9, and 13) who do not like the new me! My kids argue and complain when I exercise. If…
