“Time to Feel Better About the Way I...”

I am 54 years old , 5'4", physically fit, and as one sales clerk at a clothing boutique told me, "false fat". She meant that each time she brought something for me to try on, she had to go back and get a smaller size. In all the pictures since i was in my twenties, i look pudgy and it was only becasue of the spare tire i had. It is hard to see that the rest of your body is slim when you have a... more

I am 37 years old 5'8 and weigh 145 pounds. I have 3 beautiful children ages 7, 5, and 3. My last pregnancy took a toll on my body. I developed a hernia and after I gave birth my muscles were extremely weakened. A couple of years ago I went to see a doctor about smart lipo. He broke the bad news and told me I wasn't a candidate for small lipo due to a condition called diastasis recti... more

“Less Than 1 Week to Go - Jan 6 - New...”

I guess I'm considered entering into this game late - I'm a 51 year old mom. Don't feel 51 and certainly don't want to look it. My daughter is getting married in May and I have been putting this off for years. I have had multiple abdominal surgeries over the years that left my tummy looking like a bad tic tac toe design. I work out: team tennis, pilates and weights, P90X,... more

I am 24 years old 5'3" and 135 lbs. My boys are 12 months and 20 days apart. I had high blood pressure both times which caused me to bloat up quickly resulting in lots of extra skin and stretch marks. Also both my lil munchkins were c - sections.

“150% Worth It!”

It's been 4 years now since my TT. I still am so thrilled with the results. The only negative I would like to correct is the scar. It is flat, but a little "wide" in the middle. I don't fault my surgeon, I feel it is a combo of the way I scar, my not massaging the scar as instructed and being a bit heavy at the time of the procedure. It took a few years for the belly button scar... more
