Mrs. Michigan and Her Inspiring Wieght Loss Journey
While competing for Mrs Michigan, Shaylett Stuckey contacted us to tell us how much she loved our products and hoped that we could sponsor her throughout her pageant journey. We were happy to oblige such a strong and vivacious person and were even more thrilled to learn that she WON the Mrs. Michigan pageant! And we will of course be supporting and rooting for her as she prepares for the Mrs.USA pageant in the next coming months!
What a difference a day (or 4 years) makes! Just a few short years ago, I found myself in a situation where my health dictated that I have gastric bypass surgery, or risk never again doing what I love! Singing has been something I’ve done since I can remember and it was a non-negotiable. I made the choice to go ahead with the surgery, and I did TONS of research, but what I didn’t count on was getting “bariatric butt”. Yes, this is real and it happened to me! Basically, you lose weight so fast that if you’re not already in shape, and who is that chooses this route, all that fat is gone and you’re left with the saggy baggy skin pockets that used to be home to the “junk in your trunk”. Basically, you’ve just got trunk! I lost over 150 pounds and it was SO EXCITING! I went from a size 22 to a size 8.

I LOVED everything about it EXCEPT when I tried on clothes, besides a little extra skin, I had no side profile. I was flat from my shoulders to my calves. (This was also culturally just unacceptable, if you know what I mean) You can find bras for every type and size but what was I going to do about my backside? I went online one night to my favorite retail site www.zulilly.com and found “LOVE MY BUBBLES” Boyshorts! They really sounded too good to be true but for the great price, I was willing to try anything. I LOVED them!! My pants fit so much better. My dresses looked like a woman was wearing them. I was HOOKED! I went to the LOVE MY BUBBLES website just to check them out and I felt like I’d found the mothership! YES! Finally an answer for someone like me who desired to have her curves back, but cosmetic surgery was not something I was considering. I stayed on the site for HOURS and settled on a second pair of boyshorts and another pair that included hip pads. I just couldn’t believe how much of a difference it made it my clothes, my self-esteem, and my body shape. It was just WOW!!
I think what I liked the most is that they offered products to actually LIFT the buttocks, not just pad over the saggy baggy parts. They also SHAPED the buttocks, so I wasn’t left with high yet still flat shapeless buttocks.In December of 2013, I was contacted by the director of the Mrs. Michigan America pageant saying that someone had recommended me as a delegate for our county. Of course, I said “no” a few times, but figured “why not”? I decided to run in March of 2014, but I knew that without some “help” I was going to be a in a bad way. There was an evening gown AND swim suit portion that required some major undergarment magic. It was “LOVE MY BUBBLES” to the rescue! Not only did I reach out to them but they generously accepted and provided the undergarments I needed to compete. I looked FABULOUS in my clothes and was 2nd Runner Up! Not bad for a first time pageant girl with a 150 pound weight loss.I spent many of the months after the pageant thinking about trying one more time for the title. My husband lost his job that following July and things seemed to be spiraling a bit out of control. I thankfully was able to continue working my jewelry business and found full time employment as well. However, I still didn’t feel “done”, so I made my decision to compete for 2015 and again reached out to “LOVE MY BUBBLES” who so graciously responded to my request. This time, I knew that I needed more than just butt pads, I needed more control over my tummy, as the extra skin on my belly had now become an issue. I am blessed to not have as much as I’ve seen on others, but when you’re talking “Pageants”, it’s a whole new ball game. I opted for a Capri style butt lift garment with a high waist. I also chose a body suit that didn’t hold me in as much as controlled the jiggle in my belly. It is THE BEST!! Again, these products are genius and I confidently wore my bathing suit and strapless evening gown, and I WON!! I am now Mrs. Michigan America 2015!
I will now go on to compete for the title of Mrs. America in September in Moscow! I know, its crazy right! I’m SO THRILLED and EXCITED!! It is such an honor to represent the married women of Michigan and hopefully of America. Now, it’s going to be a matter of raising enough money to afford the trip. There are dresses and evening gowns, coaching, makeup, shoes, passports, baggage fees, costumes, and the list goes on. Right now we need to raise just over $8000, so we have set up a page at www.gofundme.com/mrsmichigan and you can also pay online via Square Cash at https://cash.me/$modelmom Either way its just such a blessing to me and I am grateful.Make no mistake there are TONS of products out there that claim to do what LOVE MY BUBBLES does so well. What I LOVE about them is I don’t end up with pancake butt or just a misshapen backside that I still have to work around with Spanx and other products just to get the desired look. I am thrilled with the quality of their products because caring for them is easy and they LAST! How many times have we bought what you thought was the perfect under garment, washed it once, and there goes the elastic? The website is customer friendly and the actual photos of “before and after” help me determine whether the product is going to do for me what I need it to do. Friends and family are constantly asking me what I’ve done or what surgery I’ve had that has given me my booty back? I have no problem telling them there’s no surgery, I just “LOVE MY BUBBLES”!
