Finally! I found some motivation and actually started exercising today. I walked 2 miles this morning and plan on doing 2 to 3 this evening. I hope it doesnt matter if at first I break up the recommended 60 min into 2 separate sesions, I dont get bored with it so fast and the time goes by quickly and seems to fit into my schedule better. Do I like exercising more now?,,,,uh NO. Will I continue, well lets hope and pray. I DO want this to become a habit that I dont mind doing and hope it makes the scale move downward faster. Lets pray I can continue to find some more motivation.:thumbup:

/ Why thank you, Missy. Much appreciated.:biggrin0:

I agree. You don't look your age at all!

Well I hope when I get skinny, all that plump in my face doesn't roll down to my socks, kwim?!:cursing:

I hate to say it, but since I lost weight, I gained wrinkles. The fat fills out the wrinkles.

It's a bad trade off.

I am very worried about that happening. Right now, most people say I look really young for 42. I am worried once I lose the puffy cheeks, I will start looking my age.

Well there's always the nip/tuck for that. I figure it's inevitable anyway and at my age it's the perfect time to do it. If you wait too long, it just doesn't do as much good. 60 is about the right time. It'll last about 10 years so don't want to wait any longer. Of course, TTuck will likely be the first procedure, then face and whatever else needs to be lifted after the weight comes off.

I am afraid of that too. No one believes I am 51 and I always say it's because I'm so fat it pulls all the wrinkles out of my face ... I'm afraid that's going to change .. only time will tell I guess.

BTW - what does KWIM mean?

I doubt if I would ever spend the money on a face lift. I have already spent 20 grand on WLS. Plus I have heard that face lifts really hurt.

Awww, you are so sweet, hold onto him Vegas Angel, he is a keeper!

I won't have the money for a face lift. I am having a lot of problems with rashes now from sweating and what not under my panus. Every time I get a bad rash, I go to the doctor and have it documented. Hopefully, based upon that once I finish losing weight I might at least get my insurance to cover surgery for that.

Awww honey that is so nice -- I didn't even see this post until this morning. Thank you!

I intend to do just that!

I have the same issue and I haven't even lost weight -- I guess I will start having it documented too if there is a possibility my insurance will pay for it ...although am wondering if they will include this in the exclusion of "any WLS surgery"?

One thing I do to help prevent the rash is that I take a hairdryer on cool/low and dry the area thoroughly after every shower -- I do the same thing under the girls -- it really helps to keep the rashes to a minimum. Baby powder helps, too.

I use lots of Gold Bond powder, but it doesn't help much when it is 101 outside and I am sweating like crazy.
