I was banded by Dr Machado a year ago, live in Antelope and work on Arden & Del Paso.... Want to go to dinner at Logan's Roadhouse in Natomas on the 14th of June?

Hey Setagirl, how's your band going?

I'm not sure. Dr. Machado thinks I should weigh about 140 - most of my friends are thinking about 175. Right now, I'm at 235..... So, I've got a ways to go yet, but it is fun wearing smaller sizes and it's nice that everything isn't a 3x anymore.

How tall are you? I'm 5'10" and my regular Dr. thinks my optimal wieght is 175. Dr. Machado asked me to shoot for 200. I figure I''ll probably be carrying around 20 pounds of skin so....eww, that just icked me. Anyway, sorry to pound you with the questions. I think I'm too curious sometimes. 175, 140, either way you've already done a great job.

Thanks. I'm only 5'3", but I'll be 62 years old in September, so it's not like I'm shooting for a bikini or something. I know what you mean about the loose skin, though. My arms are the worst so far. And, my face - I hate when I look in the mirror to put on make up. I feel like I look like Tammy Fay Baker just before she died. Ewwwwww.

Don't go Tammy Fay!!! You know 62 isn't what it used to be. Don't fall for the old hype. You probably don't need as much make up as you think, too. But yeah, the loose skin is hard to deal with. We all have to do it and we're all going to be better for it. (And screw the world. If you want a bikini do it!)
