When I started out at 275 lbs I was a size DD. (Can't remember the exact size.) Since losing 105 lbs I am now a 36B. I admit, I miss my old boobs and I've even contemplated surgery. It's mostly because I'm a pear shape and I just don't feel my small boobs fit my frame. If I could lose these hips I'd be perfectly fine with small boobs, though. So I'm working on loosing the extra before I decide anything else ~

Great thread! I've been looking for some advice on this topic. Glad I found it. I've never been too happy with Nair, but I was pretty happy with Veet. My main problem is the hair on my inner thighs. For some reason it is the only area that likes to have ingrown hairs and razor bumps ALL THE TIME. With Veet I manage to get rid of the problem somewhat - but the hair still grows back pretty fast. Not sure if it's just because it's in my genes or what, but no matter what I do it seems to always grow back within a day or two. I think I'll try the waxing idea, though. I did have a question, though. What about exfoliating? I'm not sure if it was mentioned in the thread - if it was I apologize. I've never tried it before but I heard it's a good way to prevent ingrown hairs. What type of exfoliation would be best for inner thighs?

Thank you! I started jogging a few days ago. A lot of it was getting over the fear or being judged for "doing it wrong", ha. I already feel a ton better doing it a little every morning, though. That's a great way to look at it I'll have to start with that. Little triumphs.

So I'm a bit nervous for this, but I'm ready to put aside my past and start my future. I'm 23 years old, and I've been on a weight loss journey for 8 years now. When I was 16 I had Mini Gastric Bypass and as a result, lost a decent amount of weight. Unfortunately, I didn't have anyone to help me learn to be healthy. I plateaued at 170 pounds. While that was a drastic change from my 275 pound self, I still am considered obese. I may have lost 100 lbs, but I've never truly felt better. Sure, I was more mobile, I could do more things, but I wasn't HEALTHY. Over the past year I've been researching different ways to get myself to the point of health that I want. I want to be able to jog and run miles, I want to be able to kickbox and do martial arts. I'm finally to the point where I'm not staring at the scale every day wondering why I gained a pounds or two pounds overnight, and then stress eating because of it. I don't want to focus on weight anymore. A friend of mine showed me this site and I admit, I lurked for a bit. I wasn't sure if I'd be welcomed due to my surgery and all. From what I've read, though, the community is very supportive. I hope you can accept me into it! I'll post a progress picture to start off. The first picture was taken at Haunted Art Gallery in highschool. I can't remember what I was suppose to be - but that's why I'm dressed like that ha. I don't have many pictures from back when I was heavier because I hated taking pictures. As for goals. I want to be able to lift my own weight or more. I also want to be able to run a few miles. (I'm sure I'll set some more goals up after that. I'm going to start small for now.)
