“LEAPING LIZARDS!!! I'm Actually Going to Do It!!! - Salt Lake City, UT”
Spent: $12,000 in Salt Lake City
I'm a 30 yr old mother of 1. I'm 5'8" and currently weigh 175 (though trying to get down to 165 by August 10th, my scheduled surgery date. That's my goal anyway.)
I've struggled with my weight my whole life pretty much. It seems like I would lose weight just to gain it back + some. My aha moment came a year and a half ago, weighing 245 pounds and I was going to try the HCG diet for the 3rd time. Yes the THIRD time. I decided to just give diet and exercise a try.
So here I am 18 months later. An avid runner, a healthy eater, a beautiful woman... who hates her new body. =/
My breast went from a 42DD to a 36C. I've gone from a size 22/24 to a size 10/12. I have to wear a girdle when I run just to keep the skin from bouncing everywhere. Elastic man is not a member of my ancestor line.
So my surgery is scheduled for a month and a half away and I'm nervous as all get out! I haven't slept for a week (since I scheduled the date).
I'm having a Full TT, with a BL and BA. I'll post pictures closer to the big day.

Wow that is an amazing weight loss! Congratulations on a job well done with that process. I do know what you are saying about having the Ah Hah moment. Had one myself a couple of years ago.
I assure you that after the surgery you will feel totally amazing and happy. The jiggle and bounce will be gone and you will be smiling. Having this done actually keeps you on your diet very easily. You will not want to destroy your fabulous results or waste the money you spent by gaining weight.
Your day will be here before you know it :) Keep posting!
LOL...not for long in that girdle:) Soon you will be flat, tight, jiggle free and in a sexy bikini panty. You are going to love it!
