Hit goal today! (Loose skin pics)



Recommended Posts

I’m thrilled to have reached goal today! Coincidentally, it happened on the anniversary of my initial consult with my surgeon. I’m down 100lbs and feel lighter than air!

Pics are below! For those that wonder about loose skin, yeah I gots it! I’m having PS to remove it, but I’ll take the loose skin over fat any day! Tried to show what I look like with clothes on, with shirt pulled up and with loose skin untucked out of my pants! LOL!

Congratulations! You look great! What has been the biggest benefit so far? Favorite "go to" meal or snack? Best NSV?

Thanks so much! Biggest benefit is definitely the way I'm able to move, run up a flight of stairs, carry in groceries without huffing and puffing. Basically the things that non-obese people take for granted!

Favorite snack is greek yogurt, esp Dannon light n' fit caramel apple pie.

Best NSV is hard, b/c there have been so many. I would choose buying clothes off the clearance rack. The reason being is that clearance rack clothes always seem to be size S or XS. Now I'm small enough to get the great deals! LOL!

Congrats!!!! So happy for you!!! As tempting as it is, I would suggest not rushing into plastics. Give your new bod at least 6 months and you will probably find that some of the looseness will tighten on its own. I was 62 with even more loose skin, but it doesn't look nearly as bad now as when I first lost the weight. Again, so very happy for you and your new active life!

So agree with the clothes!!!!!! Fun to buy the cute small sizes, But...... I cannot find bras in the stores now, and have to order on line, which is a pain. I went from 44DD to a 34A and stores don't carry my favorite brand/style in such a small size. I also have noticed some of the cute dresses and outfits in some of my favorite catalogs don't come in anything smaller than a Medium. Lots of styles for the XL and XXL, but not for a Small. Oh, what a terrible dilemma, right? : :) :) :) The great side of this is that sometimes I DON'T EVEN WEAR A BRA and no one notices!!!!!!! :)

I love it! Here’s the tag from the pants in my photos. XS Athleta on clearance! Still overpriced in my opinion, but I deserve it! Lol! The entire clearance rack was XS! I’m not truly an XS but can manage when it’s stretchy yoga pants!

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
