      I have loose skin but found that it took a good two years to see what skin was going to rebound. That said, believe me, I have bat wings on my arms, sagging upper thighs and boobies, and a lower stom

    i dont get enough Water and Protein, i know that for a fact. i also dont always want to eat, so i dont. or i just have a Protein Bar for dinner after working out or playing a sport. but then other days, im hungry around the clock.

    i exercise daily, whether its lifting weights, playing sports, running or taking a class at the gym.

    i think im frustrated because im looking at my peers who have had the surgery after me and are already hitting the 100lb lost mark.

    i just started tracking my food and water intake. i need to see where im messing up.

    I believe staying on top of fluids is key, especially if you exercise. There are apps to track and remind you to drink. Early on, I used hash marks on a white board every day and write everything down. Now I used My Fitness Pal. I drink all or part of a protein shake nearly every day- even this far out. It helps me hit both my fluid and protein goals. Dashingdish.com website has some of my favorite shake recipes.
