A Whole New Kinda Sexy! - Upland, CA

Hello Ladies!!
Well....it has been one year since my surgery and the results are fantastic!! I have to admit to all of you that about 6 months after surgery I started getting lazy...taking that flat belly for granted and the other parts of my body (thighs, hips, booty) started to expand. I gained 25 lbs. and was really down on myself. I thought how could I let this happen after all I have gone through to have a flat tummy. The stress of life (caring for 80+ year old in-laws) had me in a very deep depression and I guess I just didn't give myself much attention. Well with the new year came time for me to pull myself up by the boot straps and get my head right, so I found a great deal on a personal trainer and for 6 weeks I hit the gym hard and started a food journal to keep track of the calories I was consuming. My youngest daughter has transformed her body this past year and has given my tons of cle ever before in my life. Well, in 6 weeks I lost 15 lbs. and I won the Biggest Loser Challenge at the gym which included many fantastic prizes! This propelled my to keep going, so I purchased The Focus T25 fitness program through my daughter who is a Beach Body Coach and I have been hitting it hard at home and I have lost another 10 lbs. so needless to say I am feeling fantastic and feeling comfortable in my own skin! I have been parading around the house naked like I am 25 years old. Needless to say the hubby is loving it!! I even created a fitness page on Facebook to help inspire and motivate all woman ... and especially those 50+ ladies who face so many challenges with the onset of perimenopouse and menopause. If you are on facebook and would like to follow my journey you can find me at https://www.facebook.com/fabulouslyfitfifties. I would love to see you there! I am even considering a breast lift. Already consulted with my amazing plastic surgeon, so once I get some finances in order I may have the procedure done. But even if I don't having my tummy tuck was the best decision I have ever made for me and as my Dr. told me the only thing I would regret is not having it done 25 years ago and he is so right. But he would have most likely been in diapers at the time so waiting until this point in my life gave me the opportunity to have the procedure done by a Doctor I could not be happier with!! Anyways for all of you ladies considering having a tummy tuck I say go for it and for all you ladies who have already had the procedure done I hope you are as happy as I!! I look forward to hearing from some of you and maybe even seeing you on Facebook!!

It's been 6 months since my tummy tuck and I am overjoyed with my results. As my Dr. said the only regret I would have is not doing it years ago, and he was right! But he was beyond worth the wait!
