    cdestrada got a reaction from nycteacher in Firming lotions for the loose skin?   
    I was told to use a firming lotion to help with the sagging skin. My dr. said that with following my protocol, exercise and a firming lotion, that I should not have too much excess skin hanging.
    What does everyone else use or suggest? Has anyone heard of "Philosophy of Amazing Grace firming lotion"? I wonder if it is really worth the price tag.
    Thanks everyone

    cdestrada got a reaction from Thinkingthinner1109 in Made goal....now to maintain. Before and after pics.   
    Congratulations!! I too am scared about regaining the weight. I have reached goal and I am under goal about 11 lbs. I have been 129 lbs since about December and I have not moved since then. I go from 128-130 but I always stay around this. I do not exercise yet. I should and my Dr. has been telling me too, but I have just been lazy! I know I know.. I need to. I do not have much loose skin, I was lucky at that. I did lose hair, but not too bad. It is starting to grow back and get the thickness back. I do eat everything. Although, bread gives me heartburn, but I still eat it. I just eat very small portions. I am hoping that I can stay at the weight I am at and I do not gain much back. I know they say I can gain up to 10 lbs back, but I am hoping not to.

    cdestrada reacted to BackToHot in 10 months out - pict   
    For our infamous transformation tuesday...10 months out. Feeling very happy! Lost 60 pounds - from size 18 to 10. My goal for 10 months out was to loose at least 80-85 pounds. But considering I don't exercise at all (as i should), eat without restrictions and my only limitation is the amount of food that fits my sleeve, I think I'm doing pretty good. I'm very surprised that even though I did not reached my goal in pounds, I did, whatsoever, reached my goal in size. That's the exactly size (10) I had as my goal for my 10th month. Very intrigued. One thing I m sure had helped me: I don't care about junky food, chips, candies or chocolate at all. I have it once in a while but I don't crave this kind on food at all.
