I have been watching some TV programs that show dramatic weight loss and makeovers and such.

Hey cameragirl,


I watch those same programs and secretly wonder if I will look like that when I get to goal.

Yes, the cocoa butter is what I was thinking of.

My sister used cocoa butter during her pregnancy, and she said it didn't do diddly squat for her stretch marks, but I know of other people who swear by it...like you, I'm also determined to get healthy...face it, girl...we WILL look great! :D

In my younger days I never approved of nips and tucks but now that I'm almost 43 I feel differently. (Just proves the old adage: never say never!) I am definitely going for a boob job and wrinkle removal around my eyes as my final goal weight reward. The rest is going to be dependent on how I feel and $$$. The question I have is about the scarring. It seems that the scarring on the arms is extreme. I am a golfer and wear short sleeve shirts, alot. Does anyone know more about this? LK

Hey gals,

I worry about this one, too. Ever since my last pregnancy (he's, um, 5 now. lol), I have this lower stomach roll that hangs over a bit. My mother had the same stomach thing, and I remember when she lost a bunch weight ten or so years ago, it never really went away. So now every time I look in the mirror I worry that I'll lose all this weight (I have about 70 lbs left to lose, 90 to get to what all those lists say is "ideal") I'll still have it. It feels like mostly fat, but I can see just by looking at it that part of it is because the skin is lose. Im hoping that once I lose all the weight, it just won't matter, because the idea of surgery completely freaks me out. I wouldn't even mind all the scars...I just want to be cut up.

Yup, that's it exactly for me, too. Pregnancy with the first made the lower tummy out of shape, and I could have and should have toned it up, but I didn't, I was lazy. So then I get pregnant with the second, which makes it worse. I'm so embarrassed by it, too. Ah well. Live and learn. By the time we get there, we'll feel so good it won't matter, right? lol
