I do have some excess skin on my arms, belly, and thighs, which is why my arms are covered in the second to last photo because I don't like the way it looks in pictures. My dr said that my excess skin is not as bad as it could be because I do a lot of exercising, weight training and always getting in all of my liquids and Protein in everyday. He says that I may not end up with much excess skin at all if I keep doing what I'm doing because it takes up to 2 years before the skin is done shrinking. I'm just really good at hiding my excess skin. I have noticed here lately that I don't have as much as I did a couple months ago. I also use a high moisturizing lotion everyday, sometimes twice a day if I remember. Hope this helps.

You look amazing! Congrats!

Keep up the great work! You look amazing!!

Great Job! How many days a week do you exercise?

One word..gorgeous!

Great Job! How many days a week do you exercise?

Thank you, I try to workout at least 5 days a week. Most of the time I do, but sometimes I don't. Just depends what I got going on. I'm fixing to start training to do a half marathon in April.

Thank you all so much for all if the compliments!

My starting weight was 309 and I'm at 165 now. I have 25 more lbs to go to reach my gaol weight. I was sleeved on 12-28-2011

Wow - incredible.

Wow!! Amazing! You look great!

Thank you everyone! :wub:

You look amazing! It gives me such hope. I would be happy just to get down to 185. I'm at 331 right now, haven't been sleeved yet. Your photos give me hope that I'll make it.

Great! Congrats.
