I am 34 yo 5'6 1/2 168lbs mother of 3. I had my 1st son at 19 no stretch marks 2nd at 25 lots of stretch marks but was able to return to 155 sz 8-10. My 3rd son was 10lb + afterwards I could maintain 160 sz 10 but couldn't lose my belly or last 5 lbs . I decided at that point I needed a tt. Last year I ran a lot of marathons and my ps said I had no upper body fat and didn't need lipo just excess skin removal and MR. Unfortunately last year I tore my achillies an gained 10lbs. I completely stalled my exercise routine for nearly 8 months out of depression that I couldn't run. It's l ly something another runner would understand. So I'm back at it confident I will lose a few more lbs before and work off I the rest later. I carry all my weight in my torso have toned Arms and legs with no cellulite. My thinnest part of my waist is 32in and largest 40in. Just under my belly its 36. I'm a solid dense person so ideally I would like to return to 155.

Hi Melissa! We do have similar body types. I've been amazed at the results of these ladies who have our build! We are going to look FABULOUS! It doesn't seem real! I'm so glad you posted a review. We are getting so close. Are you nervous yet? I don't think I am ... Yet.

Excitws but a little disappointed I haven't been able to shake the last of this weight(8 lbs). It doesn't seem real yet. I suppose when I write my big fat check next week it will. I feel like our build is similar but your slimmer than me like twins archer. I can't wait to see all of our results.

Ugh a little anxiety today. I didn't sleep well and now am wondering if I'm a fat girl looking for an easy out and what if I don't get the results I want? Blah
