Small victories

luly727

Well 36lbs gone and working on another 25-30 lbs to be gone by December.

I hadnt noticed any real changes and was getting kinda discouraged. I tried on a shirt that I used to wear alot cuz it hid my fat belly muffin and it was soooo big on me, looked like i was wearing one of those baclk 33 gal garbage bags LOL. so its going to Goodwill.

I also was stareing at my belly last night. Thats been like something that is MY BIGGEST problem. And it looks smaller, some fat still hanging, BUT, i noticed that instead of it being all round and smooth skin looking, its actually looking kinda wrinkly ( i guess thats the way to describe it) and it isnt hard like it used to be, its squishy and has wrinkles in it :) I will take that as a good sign that I am finally losing fat accumulated in that area :)
MY boobs look like deflated balloons LOL and my bras are big on me, have to keep positioning those puppies so they stay in the cup LOL OK sorry TMI but I take this all as a good sign that the fat is moving or going away!

I also started rubbing some Vit E oil with some skin tightening essential oils in it all around my belly every night. Hope it works and that along with my daily Ab Circle workout :)

Love your honesty. I am checking in the mirror to see if I can get those nasty rolls off my back.. I am more concerned about the butt that follows me, then what I lead with. (not much). Body shapes are so different, I look forward to looking healthy. Congratulations on you loss. (that sentance sounds strange) Keep up the good humor and great efforts.

Congrats on your weight loss! Fantastic job! I can't wait until I've lost that much! I would love to be able to donate most of my clothes and buy new smaller ones. I hope you get an entire new wardrobe soon!

Oh, also, I read, in a few places lately, that it can take up to 2 years for your skin to stop shrinking after a big weight loss.
