Hi everyone,
i am 27yrs old and 5ft 5in.I started losing weight on 12th dec 06 and have lost 28lbs so far.I have been overweight since having my 2 children but am determined to do it this time.I am now 218lbs and my goal is to be 180lb by 16th may 07.Everyone tells me that i dont look my weight and that i carry it off well even when i was 180lb before having kids.So my goal is 180 by may because i have a consultation for a tummy tuck and breast implants this will give me another 1-2 months to lose even more before the surgery.I am expecting the surgeon to tell me i need to lose more but i am aiming for 180 as this is what i was comfortable with before kids etc.I am losing around 3lb a week and have never gained since i started.I am eating sensible using the sparkspeople website and exercise everyday and also strength train.I have to do this.

Oh and how do you put one of those ticker things on
Oh its ok i figured it out.

Thanks everyone
Donna

welcome to the forums.

I plan on a tummy tuck as well once i get to my goal - though its reccomended that you wait a year after getting to your goal so your skin can adjust by itself some - so thats what i plan on doing (gives me some time to save the $ also)
 
really wishes? why?

if u keep at it and do some strength training shouldn't it do what a tummy tuck can? like i used to be almost 300 lbs, but my stomach has been shrinking with me i believe =|
 
hey man... damnit do I need a tummy tuck too then?!?!?!

I thought only women who were pregnant and obese need tummy tucks because the skin beneath their belly is too stretched to go back in....

I thought ab training would fix this :S
 
No actually tummy tucks are for both men and women who have excess skin.Its more common in women who have had children as the skin stretches so much it can never go back and no amount of strenght training can fix it.If you would like me to put a picture on here of my belly i will but you will regret it lol but you will understand why.Yes i am over weight still but even when i was pregnant with my second child who was 9lb i still had hanging skin underneath my pregnant belly it will never go away unless being cut off.I should probably wait approx a year after i get to goal but i cannot spend another summer depressed because of my belly plus i have saved up the money so why not !!!!

Thanks
Donna
