I'm in a cross road .

I'm 215 Pounds my Heights is five-three I'm 42 yrs old I look like I'm in my early 30s . I don't look bad but I'm not at my best and I'm definitely not content with myself . I look in the mirror & I see who I don't want to see . I have 3 kids but the last 2 were back to back & I never lost the baby fat from the second that I was already in My third pregnancy. I use to weight 160 & I was content with that but now I'm 215 and I'm stuck at this & it's been a couple of weeks It's not easy I can't recognize who I am . Now in August 11th of 2016 I'm going in for a procedure I'm doing the sleeve this is where I'm at a cross road in my life what is a lady supposed to do when all this is So new and you don't know what to expect or what's the outcome is going to be . My biggest fear is losing 50 to 60 pounds losing it to fast is not a good thing but then the consequences is what I don't know how to face, being Flabby it's my nightmare & I'm sure I'm not alone ... I want garenteeds results & we all know thats not going to happen. My questions are once your lose the weight is there any way to tune up, to tighten your Flabby skin? & how long it would take ... Someone out there has to have been where I'm at . Who ever you are please help me get my head straight. My husband has heard me over & over again talk about this he is convinced it could be a good thing because this is what I wanted . But now the time is getting closer & I question myself is this what I want .

Well it will be 5 months for me on Sunday and the only loose skin I have is on my arms, but I knew that, my stomach currently is good, keeping close eyes on my thighs lots of cellulite. I am in the gym mostly 3 days a week I walk at least 6000 steps 5 days a week

And the goal is to add a cycling class in January

I started Water aerobics one month after surgery two days a week, added the 3rd day in October. .. my husband is very supportive and says in January we can start looking interviewing a plastic surgeon if I want for my arms etc... just stay prayful, I really grateful I'm getting control of my health and may just let it be instead of trying to look perfect for who... I knew I was gorgeous at 200+ pounds. .so why can't I think I'm better now and will be good at my goal sagging arms thighs or whatever I'll just buy spanks for special occasions lol!!!
