Loose skin
I have good muscle tone, but I have loose skin on my arms, stomach, and inner thighs. What will work, besides surgery, to tighten up loose skin? I do cardio and weight training 5-6 times a week. Thanks!

Counting calories confusion!
I always get confused when I'm calculating calories. I eat my goal calories and I exercise which gives me a deficit, which means I can eat more and still lose weight right? That's how it seems on the calorie count area of MFP. Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Food Diary

Runners: Where do you Run?
Do you run on a track, a trail, the street? I am trying to find places close by for when I am ready to start running... there are some parks with trails, and then of course all the schools have a regular track that would be good for starting out. I also plan to use a treadmill on the cold days
