  1. Oh that would be great to get a surgeon to help get it approved for insurance!! Only thing is that I need a tummy tuck, legs, arms, and breast done. That is going to be lots of money!!! :-(
  2. I would love to find others in my area so we can help support each other.
  3. Definitely yoga!!! You can try some light 3-5 lb weight exercises at home. I bought some Biggest Loser dvds and used those at home with weights until I was ready to get into the gym. I now use all weight training machines and cables at the gym. I love it, but definitely start light!
  4. Thank you everyone. I do have some rashes develop under my tummy hangy part. I usually put deodorant there and it seems to be ok. I have taken pictures incase insurance would help out. Another thing that drives me crazy is my arms. I can feel the muscles getting better but I can't see the results because of the saggy skin. I do however feel better about myself. I started my journey at 330 lbs and now 2 years later I weigh 189. I am still aiming to weigh 150. I wonder how much the extra skin weighs??
  5. A week..ugh autocorrect!!!
  6. I really want to have excess skin removed, but I don't think I can get any help from insurance. I workout 6 days awake and try my best to tone up but somethings just won't tone. Any input or suggestions?? [ATTACH]3782[/ATTACH]
  7. Also....sometimes the number on the scale isn't moving, but as long as you are exercising your measurements are getting smaller so don't beat yourself up with the scale. Stay focused and keep up the good work and congrats on your new tool!!!

  10. When I get a sweet tooth I grab about 4 raisins and some vanilla greek yogurt. Fruit usually will help satisfy a sweet tooth also. For those of you that do dump...be very careful because even fruit can bring it on.

  14. I LOVE Planet Fitness!!! No one judges there so I feel very comfortable doing everything. They have free unlimited training too so you can have your very own fitness trainer whenever you need help and extra motivation. I love the advanced equipment they have there also.
