  • awesome~ you go, girl ! ! ! :)))

  • Thank you for being so candid. I lost 70 pounds the natural way and I know how much sagging skin may be left. By now, I'm sure you've had the surgery because this is an older video; however, I am proud of you for your bravery. Blessings to you.

  • You are truly an AWESOME person.

  • your amazing, Marlena!

  • You are absolutely amazing and succhhh an inspiration!

  • you look so sad :(

    smile! you're gorgeous!!

  • Just watched the new video... Holy Shit girl you did it. Congratulations, you deserve it! 

  • You are an inspiration doll! You deserve happiness :) you busted you booty and this is something out of your control that you need help with. Congrats and you are def in my prayers :D be safe and get plenty of rest.

    Thanks for sharing and Your determination is a prime example to women all over of hard work and deication.

  • Oh my gosh, I just wanted to reach through the screen and give you a hug haha. I hope that you're happy with the results and got the body you wanted (and deserve!) :)

  • Good luck with your surgery. It shouldn't be embarrassing to talk about it. You should be so proud of your big weight-loss. You've worked hard and deserve to have the body you desire. You are young and have your whole life ahead of you so why not want to look your best. My prayers are with you for a safe and successful surgery. Keep us posted and thanks for your honesty. Good luck!!!!!

  • dear.......how do u feel now its been year now. :D

  • You're so beautiful.

  • You're gorgeous 

  • wow You're an amazing person! a new subbie i'm!

  • You are an amazing person.

  • I have a saggy problem from losing 55 lbs so I'm curious how much the tummy tuck costed for you.

  • i think it was brave of you talk about it your amazing and you are my true inspiration....

  • OMG u had posted it on my b'day sorry.

  • What is wrong with some of you? She is sooo beyond beautiful, and is such an amazing, inspiring person who deserves to feel normal, like she wants. What is wrong with that?

  • You look exactly like about half the females in America.

  • U R A GORGEOUS PERSON >> I LOVE U

  • yours so gorgeous I love your videos!

  • i wonder someone so beautiful as you would even care about wearing or not wearing makeup......you just look stunning either ways!!!!!!!!

  • Aw you made me cry. Thank you for posting this!

  • Girl I really admired you... Wish u the best on everything. :)

  • Good for you, it takes a lot of courage to go through that and share it with everyone. I was skinny when I was a little girl but I hardly remember anything from my childhood. since then I've been kinda "big". I've lost a lot of weight but not the right way, a while back ago I went through some eating disorders :/ Since then I've been one a well managed vegetarian diet and go to the gym every now and then :)

  • hats off to you girl... for first of all going through the surgery and secondly having the courage to share it with the world...

  • I've always been a "big girl" and I've always been told that all the years I have gone to school, and it really hurts . Because when you've been that way all your life, then you can not actually help it. There is a lot harder to be "normal" again on your own if you've been big for a long time. I personally had not hesitated to take an operation, but I can not handle pain at all and I hate not having control. + I'm too young. xD But you're incredibly brave and an amazing human being.

  • You are such an inspiration <3

  • you are absolutely amazing and inspirational <3

  • all I wanted this whole video was to give you a hug through the screen. <3

  • I totally feel you omg I'm skinny and I have horrible stretch marks. Do what ever makes you feel happy. I support people who wants to have surgery to boost there self esteem there is always some imperfection we want to change no one can deny that.

  • Marlena, you're my hero! Luv&Hugs2U!

  • Thank you for sharing your experience. :)

  • You have such a beautiful face!!! :)

  • I LOVE your smile and laugh!! You're such a beautiful and genuine person inside and out :)

  • I only just discovered your channel and this popped up by surprise but you are an amazing, open, beautiful and inspirational person. Keep being you :)

  • You're great and so inspirational. I'm so happy for you and what you've accomplished.

  • Brava!

    Your beauty flows, and you deserve to be what you want to be!

  • Don't ever feel like your ANYTHING but beautiful!!!! You are the nicest most gorgeous women i'v ever seen! Your awesome!

  • I want a tummy tuck but everyone says im to young. Im 22 i have a child and after that my tummy has just been looking crazy. How much was the lift and the tuck. im saving for mines now.

  • @LordPipweed Shut the f*** up!

  • what kind of person had the heart to dislike a heartfelt and honest video like this?we're proud of you marlena!uv earned it! =)

  • You made me choke up so much watching this video. I'm 22 years old and I have a two year old son. I've always been a thin, pretty, fit girl (without trying, just a gift) and then I got pregnant when I was 19. MY stomach grew and grew and grew... Everything else pretty much stayed thin, but after I had my son when I was 20 up until now, I just cry. I feel ruined. I always by long shirts to make sure my stomach won't show at all ever, I can't be as confident in my relationship and the stretchmarks

  • @TheMommyTrishaShow and the extra skin... just won't go away. I used to work out a bit pretty hardcore but even though I was getting results.. I couldn't see them. The skin and marks just hide all the work I put into it. It hurts so much to see other girls who have had children go back to looking the way they did and I feel jealousy and envy (even though I'm truly happy for them) I can't help but cry and pity myself. It hurts so much just to even look at myself in the mirror...

  • I am not overweight so its hard for me to know exactly how you feel but this was very touching and inspiring. you are so so brave!

  • if anyone ever judges you for this, they can go straight to you know where! i know you had this done 6 months ago but all the best and you look fab girll!

  • Thanks for posting this. Your very brave. You do whatever you want to so for you to feel beautiful.

  • I just found your site recently and fell in love with your personality and have learned quite a bit about makeup in the process. I too have had a tummy tuck and only recently have ventured into the makeup world now that both my kiddos are in school I was a young mom and it feels so good to finally be taking care of me again. Thank you for takinng the time to help people like me :)

  • i love ur way sweety .....D:D

  • I thought you were beautiful before despite being a little overweight. I think your personality made you look even better. I know how it feels to be overweight, I was once 200 lbs. I got down to 165 lbs and I was extremely proud but was not happy with what I saw in the mirror. It is a struggle and its hard, you have to want to make a change for you not anyone else. You go girl!

  • You are amazing, Marlena. You're a beautiful and honest lady. Thank you for sharing this journey with us, I wish you well in everything you do. <3

  • hi marlena, i checked out Dr. Greens website from your other video and i too live in the sacto area and want to consider the same surgeon! im so happy you shared this. im planning on getting a tummy tuck in the near future, especially after having 2 kids. but i wanted to know whats the average cost to getting a complete tummy tuck? i sure as heck cant afford it now but i wanna start saving for it. =)

  • I love you very much!!! I think you are very pretty...

    (please don't freak out of all the "I love yous' " you are getting from me.. i think of you as of my good, close friend... I say "I love you" to all my girlfriends... and to me you are one of my girlfriend)

    You are soooooooooooooooo pretttyyyyyyyyyyyyyy and i respect you soooooooooooooo muchh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    

  • Oh, you should NEVER feel defensive about this choice. Take care and wish me well:)

  • You are beautiful no matter how big your tummy is. You were genetically blessed, I am getting a lower body lift soon and it is good for me to see your journey, thanks so much. I have lost a total of 170 lbs and had a very damaging c-section to boot. Thanks for sharing your experience with us all.

  • fgkghdjfsh[fsdjh[gfhfdghdfhgad­hfgsdgewgffdsa

  • yea its too late to train. i meant before or during the initial diet 2 years ago. but thats ok if you can get better results with expensive surgery good luck!

  • @AUTubeN22 i agree with kaymurray89, its her money, and she can do what she like, what the hell is it to you. Your pretty sad u no, u need to grow up, n if u call ur self grown up act it. How do u know what shes going though or how she feels, if you claim u do then u dont.loosing weight is hard, and if she relli wntd to jus go about throwing her money she wudnt have lost weight in the first place. so stop hating and a life, and dont watch it simple. theres a little thing you can do, CLICK OFF!

  • u are SO inspiring!

  • you sound like Jennifer Lopez

  • i thought she talked about weight ok sorry but she could save money if she buys the p90x or 10 min trainer! those will tone her up and theres no recovery you just get fit!

  • @AUTubeN22 Normally I wouldnt respond to this but I feel like someone needs to inform you of fact or you will just stay totally clueless

    When you lose a significant amount of weight, some skin has stretched beyond its capacity (due to the previous weight gain) & DOES NOT tighten up on its own with strength training (P90X/10 min trainer would do NOTHING for her loose skin) Its like stretching a rubberband so far&for so long it cant go back to normal no matter how tight the muscles underneath are

  • whetever! just seems to me if she is tried so hard and then reverts to money to solve her problem she isn't trying as hard as she makes out because she knows she has money as a back up! if she had no money what would she do?

  • @AUTubeN22 seriously?? have you NEVER seen any person who's lost a lot of weight? they always have saggy/loose skin. she's not getting liposuction to lose the fat and do the work for her, she just is removing the excess skin that wont go back to being tight and how it should be. please don't post any more ignorant/hurtful comments.

    We're all proud of you, Marlena, for your determination and patience. Keep up the great work and your inspiring videos!! <3

  • 1.1/2 years obviously wasn't enough time for you its only 1LB per week on average which is too easy if your doing what you say you are! you should be losing an average 2LB per wk which is 50LB's more easy!

  • @AUTubeN22 How dare you down play her accomplishment! 2 lbs a week might be right for you but who says she wanted to even lose that much. You are a hater.

  • u r cute

  • This might sound really strange but this really made me feel better about me getting jaw surgery in a couple of years. It's mostly cosmetic but since it's a problem that can lead to other problems I'm kind of advised to have it by orthodontists - I know it's not exactly like what you've had done but it's still surgery and it still improves how I'll look after I've recovered, so thank you for documenting this xx

  • @pipweedthegreat wtf are u talking about she is so beautiful! And she has such a great personality, plus she is succesful ! I think u just feel bad about ur own life and can't take the fact that others can have a happy life! Just remember Hurt-people-hurt-people!! All i can say is ... I feel sorry for u

  • Wow! U r amazing to share all this! I wish u all the best! Way to go! U really touched me.

  • Never be afraid to do what is in your power to make yourself happy :)

  • Good luck sweetheart. I am sure you have already had the surgery done by now and i hope it was not to painful, take care, true makeup geek. luv you

  • Nothing to be ashamed of, honey, love you.. :)

  • You are very strong and this is very inspirational and touching. Best wishes with recovery and I hope you get all the result you dreamed of. Thank you for sharing this with us!

  • you inspire me!

  • Oh my, so scary. ~.~ I'm just average weight but I had this tummy. I'm trying to lose it by exercising. Sit ups mostly. I hope it works. Coz I'm really scared of pain. :(

  • Good for you putting yourself out there to help others, major props. 

  • do u have before and after pics? What did you do?

  • omg, i love you so much! youre such an inspiration for me! -3

  • YOu make me wanna cry, I also had a tummy tuck and it was the most emotional time in my life. Like you I busted my ass to lose the weight, I had a kid and 60lbs later 9 years later LOL I finally got my wish. So all i wanted to say is if this is going to make you feel beautiful on the outside like you feel on the inside its the best idea ever. I hope you love your body now and happy with how far you have come:) YOU GO SEXY MAMA

  • you don't have to go hungry to lose weight. Just follow four rules. Good Luck!

  • i support you!1

  • YOU GO GIRL!

  • T-T..!! LuV U AlOT LOT LOT LOT!! <3<3<3<3<3

  • Ahhhhh....i'm glad you made the decision to do something that makes YOU happy. Because the only way to get through life happy...is to start with yourself. Don't worry honey....even if it seems tough in the beginning, just remember that there is always an "after" to the "before." Glad yo u made it through. =) Love ya!

  • I think your video is so sweet and honoust, and I wish you all the best and quick recovery.

    You're an inspiration for me.

  • I think u r sweet and love your openess!! I am not happy with myself overweight. Do u have a facebook? I dont tweet but I do have an email! I hope to hear from u on how should I start without going to the gym!! Sry_2078@yahoo.com

  • You made me cry ! You are SOOOOOOO beautiful .

  • You go mama!! CONGRATS ON YOUR WEIGHT LOSS!!

  • Thank you for posting this video...you have encourage me to stay on track.watching your video helps me to know that I am not alone in my weight struggle. Going to put more dedication to my weight as well. I do have a question as to your nutritionist. She told you to stick to protein and vegis?. Cheer up because you helped another soul. thanks again

  • @PipweedTheGreat ha! What you said wasnt a joke you stupid lunatic, incase you didnt know that. Use proper english because cussing at me wont get you anywhere. Dont point fingers anyone because there going to pointed back at you BITCH! Your whole life/birth is a joke, and pretty much its going to waste. Go slit your throat or something. Technically everyone here is a dumbass to YOU! How is calling Marlena a ugly cunt and so on a joke? Your mother should teach YOU some valuable lesson rather tha

  • OMG! You're so beautiful <3

  • i just have to say, for having your makeup on for 15 hrs, it still looks great! i wouldn't have guess you had it on for even an hour, my face looks way worse than that after just 2 hrs. anyway congrats on the weight loss, and i can understand your reason for wanting surgery

  • it's so sad because i cant understand english so well. So i don't now what the reason exactly is, sorry

    but thumbs up that you have lost weight, because that's very hard!

  • before you even posted this I never even noticed your size. Like when I heard about the surgery I was like why your gorgeous and it was only after then I saw that you weren't average size because you are beautiful and I am happy you decided to share this with us. :)

  • oh my gosh. this brought tears to my eyes... you are lovely. continue to take care of yourself. my love from chicago!

  • you go girl!! you only get one life and you only live once, everyone deserves to live it in the body they want and that makes them happy. i was unhappy with my boobs and got them done and now i'm so happy. not because i want to be a barbie doll, like you said, but because i don't want my insecurities taking over my life. now when i'm hanging out with friends, or going to the beach, i can enjoy myself and focus on the wonderful moment instead of being miserable comparing myself with other people.

  • @PipweedTheGreat WTF is wrong with you, you mentally disorder child? Do you have a life or is it up your ass? Seriously I'll buy you a life because you clearly need one. So are those words towards your mom or something because it doesn't affect Marlena or anyone on here? Bitch go suck on a cow or something

  • you are prob. one of the sweetest people that I've seen on youtube.. I admire your character and positive attitude.. hearing your confidence and attitutde really inspires me! you go girl! you're amazing but I'm sure you know that already ;)

  • u look awsum now nd hope to do this one day

  • You are beautiful and I totally respect and understand how you want to feel

    comfortable in your own skin. In the end, its all that matters, because how you

    feel is what will radiate outwards in your everyday life.

  • how is everything? good?

  • @PipweedTheGreat Oh go die in a hole you douche bag.

  • @unaiscool who was talkin to u dickhead go suck ur grandmas wrinkly tits u adopted twat

  • @PipweedTheGreat ewwww U make me sick. I hope you get better!

  • @PipweedTheGreat you are so wrong...... She is an amazing and strong women. what is your problem?????

  • @kadoosh87 wow piss off i was only saying that for a quick laugh, i like making fun of weak and vulnerable people cos i know they cant fight back lol

  • @PipweedTheGreat you are CLEARLY fucked in the DOME.

  • @PipweedTheGreat Lmao, weak and vulnerable? Sounds more like you.

  • @PipweedTheGreat go die in a fucking hole u douche shes gorgeous

  • @PipweedTheGreat: Okay, why would you even say something like that? That was the most evil, rude, horrible thing I have ever seen someone say on YouTube and/or in my life. Next you should probably keep that kind of thing to yourself. Just a suggestion.

  • You are amazing!

  • U are amazing girl! U don't need to have a perfect body! U are perfect, cause of your heart. I don't know U, but.. it was a love of the first sight :)

  • If - Kipling

    If you can keep your head when all about you

    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;

    If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

    But make allowance for their doubting too;

    If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

    Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,

    Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,

    And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

  • If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;

    If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;

    If you can meet with triumph and disaster

    And treat those two imposters just the same;

    If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

    Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,

    And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;

  • If you can make one heap of all your winnings

    And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

    And lose, and start again at your beginnings

    And never breath a word about your loss;

    If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

    To serve your turn long after they are gone,

    And so hold on when there is nothing in you

    Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

  • If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

    Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;

    If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;

    If all men count with you, but none too much;

    If you can fill the unforgiving minute

    With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -

    Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

    And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

  • Marlena I have watched you for years and think you have the best personality. Like many have said here you are as beautiful on the outside as you are on the inside. Thanks for many tips, laughs and inspirations over the years. My gpa payed me $5 when I was little to memorize this poem.I didnt understand what was so special about it but now that I am a grown women I see why. This has helped me many times threw out my life< and just as you have helped me, I hope this poem helps you in some way.

  • I don't blame you. You did a good thing, by keeping yourself at a healthy weight, and if your not comfortable in your own fabulous skin, then cut away. We are all quick to judge, but I know myself well enough to know that if I were to have excess skin, I probably would get a tuck. It's not vain, it's making yourself happy. Your not getting constant surgery, and having to keep "perfecting" like Heidi Montag. That was WAAY overboard.

  • Good Luck, and I send you tons of support and love. Recover well. :)

  • hope your doing well :)

  • Marlena, you are such an inspiration! So thank you. I hope all is well with your recovery :)

  • you are such an amazing person and i am so happy for you :)

    you'll be in my prayers.

  • You're my hero. Thank you for inspiring me.
