That's great Bronzestar. Congrats, most people who want to lose weight give up because it is hard work. Good Job!!!!!

I started tanning at the same time I started losing 70 pounds and found that actually tanning made me feel better than I looked. That encouraged me to continue to lose and to tan until I actually started looking as good as I felt.I was actually worried about breaking the bed when I first started, only because I felt so self concious. I found out recently that tanning aids in lowering depression and can even help boost metabolism.Maybe it's all psychological... however, I tend to stay at my ideal weight or drop a few pounds when I am tanning.As a recovering fat person (you never totally overcome it) I am very sensitive to the plight of others in that condition.Laurie
