Anna, my friend from New York had been a model in her younger days. She had married early in life and given birth to three children in quick succession. Bringing them had taken up all her energy and now at forty six with the children all grown up and independent she realized she had put on unbelievable amount of weight around her abdomen, thighs and arms. She decided to go for a liposuction tummy tuck, and as was warranted she had to meet up with an abdominoplasty specialist. He gave her a very clear idea of the risks involved in this procedure, took her suggestions on how to avoid some of the risks involved. After this brainstorming session with her doctor and her existing health condition she decided against the liposuction and started dieting and exercising.
If you get a chance, check out weighins.com. It’s a supportive close-knit community for people wanting to lose weight. With a free membership you can join a weight loss challenge (like the Biggest Loser tv show). You also get a free calorie counter and a personal diet journal. I like it much better than sparkpeople.
