You are a perfect candidate for a tummy tuck. You’re a beautiful and fit person. If you or others are satisfied that’s great. But there is NO shame in getting a TT. I had 5 kids. I’ve lost 75lbs. I got a tummy tuck and it was one of THE best things I’ve ever done. It’s not “dishonoring” the vessel god have you to bring forth life. That’s asinine. I would support you 100%. You will never have a flat tummy on your own. And you know that. You said it. If it’s something you can afford and would help you feel better, do it girl. It’ll just help reveal all that hard work you put in already. Anyone saying otherwise? Who cares.
I Lost, 100 pounds, loose skin sucks, ended up having to have the works, 2 tummy tucks, which was a 360 body lift, that didnt get rid off all the lose skin on my upper abdomen so ended up also having to go back for a fleur de lis tummy tuck, also had breast reduction/lift, arm lift, and thigh lift, its been a long 3 years getting all that done.
Before going for surgery I would suggest you do a dexa scan to see your body fat and see how much you can safely lose. You may be surprised if you can go down in more weight and your body shape may change drastically
I'm getting a consultation, I thought about this for years. (Had son at 17) so skin was stretched and csection) I'm 43 now and after years of exercise, healthy eating I feel it's right for me. Thanks for being so understanding about peoples choices for their bodies AND for happily playing with your tummy 😅
I adore your honesty and sharing your vulnerabilities. I am a mum of three (they are all grown up) and I am developing loose tummy skin, sagging boobies and bingo wings! I am not fond of them, but they are also a loving reminder of where I have been and sometimes I appreciate them even more for that reason; am not obese anymore, I am a work in progress and I am very proud of my sacrifices and what I have achieved so far. You are a beautiful, amazing lady who is inspiring thousands of people. Keep on, keeping on! BTW, if you ever come to UK, I hope you do a meet and greet xx
When you just don’t feel like doing it, it could be due to where you are in your menstrual cycle. I’m like this 7-10 days before my period. I call it the feed me and leave me alone time 🤣
That beautiful body was used as a vessel by God to bring two beautiful boys into this world. Your weight loss is so inspirational. Perfection is unattainable. But what you have accomplished is true, and a "perfect" example of what can be accomplished with the determination and dedication you've shared! Blessings to you always!!💜💃🏾
Girl I love RC Blake’s and Pastor Jerry Flowers from Houston, Tx. Those two help me when I was going through a time period in my life. So awesome during my single season
Hi 👋🏽 Colleen I feel you !!! I have a pooch too, going under the knife I’ve always said (only) if I had to do it, it scares me. I will just forever work on my body and watch my diet as well.
You’re only in youre 30s. Although it may sound drastic. Try repeated 3 day dry fasts with a heavy lifting Like maybe once every two weeks or once every month. Once you do 10 you’ll see the skin start to eat away. But of course consult your doctor before doing anything
That gross scar wouldn't look cute though Colleen. Some women regret tummy tucks because that scar is so unsightly. You have a beautiful even toned body. Try compression all day and night with toning belly workouts and see..😊
Wonderful video Colleen. You are right about multiple streams of income. You and Mercy Gono are two of my faves. She has real estate, her own hair oil business, popular CZcamsr, and a nurse, very successful. Keep striving Colleen.
U should try sonobello. They don’t put you under. I completely understand. After 4 kids I have loose skin too and I hate itttttttt. With your platform, I’m sure they would have you as an ambassador for them! It’s a win for the both of you!
You’re hilarious and honest. Love it! After this video, I bet a plastic surgeon will offer to do the tummy tuck for free or even a good discount if you promote their business. 🤞🏾🙏🏾😊
I really enjoyed your vlog. I didn’t see/hear one thing I disagreed with. You were so transparent about your loose skin. I loved that! I find that we have so many things in common. I’m older than you (in my 50’s) but I feel we’d be cool friends if we knew each other because we think similarly in many cases. 😉 I used to love Braggs Apple cider vinegar but now I’m in love with one Dr. Berg talked about. It’s Fairchild Apple Cider Vinegar. He talked about how all other Apple cider vinegar products are diluted except this one. I can definitely taste the difference. I’m like you and I’ve gone through a bottle so quickly because I’m enjoying it so much. I loved it so much I bought 4 bottles of it! 😅 I totally agree about not wanting to be an entrepreneur and needing stability by getting a check biweekly, having benefits , etc. I do feel you’re a creative though! So I feel you’re meeting the need to be creative through creating content. And I enjoy your content! Thanks Colleen! 🌻👏🏽🙌🏽🫶🏽
Great video !! I love how you have grown as an individual ❤ You have such a calming sweet spirit and really enjoy your content!! Who is the speaker you’re listening to while folding clothes?
I love your transparency ❤️❤️ I’m a mom who’s lost 45 lbs now and am struggling with loose skin and stretch marks , I’m considering getting a tummy tuck after I’m done having kids
Just watching your video, I'm 56 and felt/feel just like you. I ended up doing physical security as a security guard. But I've been in school my whole life. I'm still in school now, lol! It's changed alot since I first started. It's still very challenging for me even more now. You are on the right path don't stop! I stopped for many years and wished I hadn't. I live paycheck to paycheck. So please do finish.
I think about getting a tummy tuck , liposuction , blepharoplasty, Botox , laser treatments, etc etc diet drugs ozempic- but then it doesn’t end … it will never end . I am perfect now. It’s tough …. To each his/her own - no judgement!
This was such an enjoyable video. I really enjoyed it from the first second to the last. I will most certainly be checking out Pastor Blake. I enjoyed what you shared from him. Stay well Colleen ❤
Hey Colleen, its Me, Vaughn.. Yes THAT Vaughn lol I am on my weight loss journey as well. I lost 27 lbs since Apr. 14th. according to my scale. I am weight training and fasting and have changed my diet. I'm gonna lose 27 more then will need help with the stretch marks. I'm proud of u as always.. has it really been 17 yrs since the Bay? damn. I'm in Southside by the Q6. I support what youre doing and thank u for breaking everything down in Layman's for me.. these next 27 lbs finna be a breeze Keep shining Queen! U haveet aged a bit
Hi! Enjoyed as always! Congrats on going bk to school & determined to finish! And that message u were listening to was definitely for me! Gonna go listen to it. Tfs!
My stomach is the same way no matter the amount of ab workouts I do the loose skin or pooch is there. It looks way worse when I’m bloated. I’m just glad to not be obese anymore.
I've seen a few people who tried it and it reduced stretch marks and scars, but didn't seem to reduce the loose skin. People say intermittent fasting helps reduce it through boosted autophagy but if so it's a very slow process.
Thank you for sharing Pastor RC Blake. Which video title is that of Pastor RC Blake so I can listen to it in its entirety. My favorite part of this video. ❤ ❤❤
Thank you. Missed it in the description box. While I was waiting for your response I listened to The Mindset of a Queen and Pastor Blake’s had me laughing out loud in the office. Have a great rest of your week Queen.
Can't wait to watch this video after my afternoon 4h lesson 😍 I love watching your videos, they're so comforting yet inspiring. Talking about glute exercises, I was wondering if anyone knows how to help stability with the single leg hip hinge and the lateral leg raises 🤔 I noticed that during these exercises, and even the L lunges, I have a tendency to fall into my right side, to incline towards my right side. Does anybody know how to fix this and improve stability? Is it the glute medius?
Delina la rosee is my fave of the delina then exclusif. Can't stand the original so I gave it to my cousin. Thankfully I had gotten the small bottle of that one
Have you tried castor oil to tighten your skin?? Jus curious it may be an option instead of surgery..... Love you Colleen stay awesome and encouraging....
I’m having a really hard time sleeping.. exhausted. Did a sleeping pill break my fast? I got the best sleep and feel a lot better. Fast days are the worse for sleep.
I thought that one of the big benefits of ADF was that you weren't left with excess skin since atrophy took care of that :( Can anyone shed some light on this?
@@colleenmariet ok cool, also you look good surgery or not but ultimately your preference. I’m praying to be successful getting my weight off for like the third time and keep it off this time
Thank you SO MUCH for the 12/3/30 tip! My gomegirl and I went to the gym yesterday and did the treadmill. NOW WE KNOW😄😉🤍✨️ EDIT: Also, thank you for letting us know the Vitamin C oil + glycolic serum mixed worked for you. I'll have to try that because I have the Khiel's Ultra Pure glycolic acid and it is harsh on my skin by itself. (oooops, you said hyaluronic 😂) You rock 🙌🏾 And YES, shoutout to the nursing staff. It definitely does require Patience to love on/care for our patients.❤ Been in that field for 20 years and it doesn't get old. A little over 1 year into building my second stream of income...SO REWARDING. God, The Lord Jesus is theeee BEST to me☦️

I just fear that really big unattractive scar.
I am happy with my TT but honestly feel horrid about my scar

Wow! Great job losing all that weight
Hi! I just got my tummy tuck 5 weeks ago after losing 70 lbs. It has been the best decision ever. 🥰
That is awesome!
Before going for surgery I would suggest you do a dexa scan to see your body fat and see how much you can safely lose. You may be surprised if you can go down in more weight and your body shape may change drastically
What a smart suggestion. 🥰
Thank you for the shout out to the nurses! I’m a RN and now in executive management.

I think you’re right!
exactly what i was thinking lol
Thanks for the transparency! I’m extremely insecure about my arms. Lots of muscle in them, but the elasticity in that area sucks, so they sag
I FEEL YOU!
I absolutely love RC Blakes Sr. He is such a blessing to those who receives him.
Get that tummy tuck girl!!!!! Go for it. Feel confident in yourself!

Me too :)
Ohhhhh!! Pastor Blakes speaking through you, Ms. Colleen!! I'm also vicariously cleaning my house through you, Love!
Right!?
Hi 👋🏽 Colleen I feel you !!! I have a pooch too, going under the knife I’ve always said (only) if I had to do it, it scares me. I will just forever work on my body and watch my diet as well.
no problem!
@colleenmariet but before you do it watch k.michelle my killer body even a simple procedure can create deadly results-❤NurseMJ
@@sweetsapidyourfavoritesmel3918 thank you. For saying this because most of these people in the comments are heavily encouraging her to do the tt.
You’re only in youre 30s. Although it may sound drastic. Try repeated 3 day dry fasts with a heavy lifting
Like maybe once every two weeks or once every month. Once you do 10 you’ll see the skin start to eat away.

I will research!
Have you looked into micro needling for loose skin. It won't give you tummy tuck results but it will tighten your skin.
Colleen u can try liquid chlorophyll. Its an internal deodorant also
I do! I’m just not consistent 😅
You’re hilarious and honest. Love it! After this video, I bet a plastic surgeon will offer to do the tummy tuck for free or even a good discount if you promote their business. 🤞🏾🙏🏾😊

I dont think there's anything wrong with getting a tummy tuck. You could try microneedling for the loose skin, dermatological grade.
I've seen a few people who tried it and it reduced stretch marks and scars, but didn't seem to reduce the loose skin. People say intermittent fasting helps reduce it through boosted autophagy but if so it's a very slow process.

Try broccoli w/Mayo! 😋

🤔There is this new technology that uses laser liposuction to permanently remove fat and tighten loose skin. Something to look into 🤷♀️.
Have you tried castor oil to tighten your skin?? Jus curious it may be an option instead of surgery..... Love you Colleen stay awesome and encouraging....

Do chloe ting u wont need surgery
Can’t exercise off loose skin but I appreciate the suggestion
Laser, perhaps? For the loose skin.
Where did you get your colorful shoes I love them 😍!!

Hello I would like to know if you hit a plateau sometimes and by the way I was able to do ADF for 8 weeks even on my period but now I’m on a break😊
I never did while dosing true alternate day fasting but sometimes takes a break for a week or two resets the body to begin again
What song is that it was sampled by mos def
Yea. It’s custom
