Looking good, Keep it up ! ! !

Havn't talked with a doctor yet about it. I've been on straight nights for a few monthes now. I've lost over 120 lbs and have some loose skin and even with running and weight lifting hasn't done anything about my thighs and stomach region. My arms however are very nice lol. I'm going to check into it and see what I can find out and if anyone else finds out some info please share.

I've done a little research on it and it is highly expensive if you can't get a perscription for it. It will however help with loose skin and help create muscle. I think its better for older guys as it will help give them younger more elastic skin. My wife is a nurse and I've had her looking into it and I'm doing some more looking into it when I find time off of work. I'd rather do something non surgical for loose skin and this seems to be something that might be worth looking into.

human growth horomone. the thing clemens got in trouble for .

Has anyone else other than myself given thought to HGH to help with loose skin? I have some in my stomach region and thighs and have read up on HGH and looks to have great skin attributes.

I wish the best of luck to you and walking has always done well with me. Especially in this god awful Texas heat lol.

I guess you would have to define plateau. I've been 225 for about 3 weeks to 4 weeks now and I went in for a .2 cc fill yesterday. That last fill I had was in April and I weighed in at 238. I'd lost 13 lbs in 3 monthes so I guess I wouldn't count that as a major plateu. I weighed in today at 222 and usually drop anywhere from 5 to 10 lbs when i do the liquids for 2 days and softs for 1. I usually hold at that weight for a week or so and then drop off a few more. If your plateuing and eating more might just mean its fill time.

Protein will help you from having those " sugar cravings" when the body craves protein it is what most folks call a "sweet tooth". We just don't understand what our bodies want/need. Don't get discouraged, just get a fill and continue to do like you're suppose to. you'll generally lose 10 or more pounds right after a fill just by doing 3 Protein drinks a day for the first 2 days and then start back slow on the 3rd day by throwing in some light Soup. I usually do an egg drop soup.

You look years younger in your after photo, keep it up every pound is an extension to your life.

I have a 20 dollar deductible and I also have a medical spending account that I put in to cover my fills. I pay 20 but that is 20 dollars that is not taxed and it comes back to me.

Start off slow. By slow I mean walking. Do alot of walking. I started off walking a few miles and had gotten up to walking 13 miles before I started throwing some running in. You want to try to stay as low impact as possible untill your able to get some weight off. Choose your protein carefully. I would say that with women choose a soy protein over a whey protein. It tends to produce umm breasts (men avoid). I personally stick with Isopure due to it having 0 Carbs and others that say low carb can have alot of hidden sugars. Start taking liquid Amino acids. This is a good source of protein and will help keep unwanted loose skin off. (you're both young and this should help with the elesticity of the skin, keeping you from having unwanted scars from surgery). Lastly get lots of protein in your diet. This will help with skin, hair, body, muscle etc... When you hear the doctors say get plenty of protein take it as gospel not just b/s. Whats the since in looseing a 100 lbs but going bald and having a bunch of loose skin? Do it right and don't exchange one problem for another.
