I'm not going to wait for a flat stomach
 

I'm going to get my belly button pierced this weekend even though I still have chub on my belly!

GO FOR IT! :) You've made significant distance in your weight-loss plan, it would seem from your stats, so treat yourself!

Actually, that's not a bad idea to get it early...and use new studs/hoops as rewards for further goals, hehe...

It's my reward for reaching my goal weight...my partner has been after me to get one since before we were even a couple, and I've wanted one ever since I was a teenager...so, I will live vicariously through you until my turn comes! ;)

Thanks!

And yes, I have made progress. Not much recently, I've been in a holding pattern, but I haven't been actively trying to lose weight, just maintain where I am for now, and then to lose more later. I guess that is progress as well.

You go girl! :dancer: At only ten lbs away from goal, you must be looking pretty good even if you do still have some chub on your belly (don't we all!)

It's a good thing I got my ears pierced when I was a kid because now I don't think I'd have the courage. :fr:

I wish I could have my belly button pierced, but three babies later...and let's just say that is what I would call history...(stretched history) But don't wait do it now!!!

You go girl!

However, you do have to be extra careful. Cover the fresh piercing with a bandage when you work out. I've had friends who have gotten irritations or infections from all the sweat and gunk that gets poured in there, the bandage just keeps things a bit tidier...plus, it prevents the risk of someone (something) getting caught on it. Also, go easy on the ab work for a few months until the hole heals!

You rebel, you!

Welcome to the trailer-hitch club :D

I just got mine done almost two weeks ago. It's a scary brave thing to do - but nowhere near as hard as the work you've done to get here.

I also second the exercise-sweat warning - mine is still irritated and painful from sweating it out last week :mad:

My thread on it is here http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/showthread.php?t=108598

Kelema: Thanks for the tips!

Cardiomonster: yes, I saw your thread. It helped to inspire me.

I did it! It's a little red and a more than a little sore, but I like it!!
