| BBK,
My mother always told people she was 5'12".
They'd say 6' ??, and she'd correct them--no, she was 5'12"...
I finally "got it" when I was a teenager... DUH...

You look great, what a transformation. You should really be thrilled.
If you don't mind me asking, what all did you have done
(tummy tuck ect:) and who did the Surgery.
I am 61, and about ready to make the leap.
Thanks for posting your picture, you give us all hope.

| Nope--no surgery except for the Lap Band last August. I did have my teeth whitened, because I'm smiling all the time now! Quote:

| Oh, let's see:
I shovel horse s**t. Bushels of it--every day. I carry a 60lb bale of hay the length of a football field--every day. I frequently lead two horses at once (picture a little kid walking/swinging from both parents' hands) because it's a quarter-mile walk from barn to paddock.
I also have two 80lb greyhounds who confuse "walk" with "drag".
But really, I think it's the horse s**t...   Quote:

You've done a terrific job. You should be so proud of yourself.

You look incredible, but must have some good genes. I don't care how much s**t I tried to shovel, my belly will never look like yours without PS.
Congrats and treat those horses and dogs well, caring for them has served you well.

I agree with Shortgal, no matter how much s**t I were to shovel it wont help my poor flabby tummy.
