    You were afraid that there was not really that much difference?????? You look fantastic, and better than anything, happy and so healthy! Good for you.

    ^exactly my thoughts! you've done great!!

    I just began and need to lose at least 100 lbs, I am just wondering how is your skin? I have been losing kind of fast, which feels great, but I'm also worried about it, you lost pretty fast too, although I think it starts that way when you start off as heavy as I am. I just always think what will my skin look like. although I guess I'd rather have droopy skin than fat filled skin....

    So far, my skin is not too bad. There is a little looseness, but its not horrible. I have noticed since I started eating a plant based diet in March, my skin is a lot better in general, so I don't know if that has helped or not. My skin is a lot less dry than it used to be, and clearer, so I am hoping that maybe the fact that it is hydrated and happy will help a little. I think that the next part of the loss is going to be where the loose skin really starts to show up though, so we shall see.

    I did it by switching to a plant based diet (vegan basically). I developed acid reflux, and went to the doctor because I was having chest pains. He talked to me about causes, and that I could make some dietary changes to eliminate it, or that I could take Nexium. He gave me two weeks worth of nexium samples, and I took those to get it under control But I could not wrap my head around having to take medicine to allow myself to keep being able to eat junk. So I decided to make changes. For the first couple of weeks, I just quit drinking soda, eating fried stuff, and generally started to eat better. But around that time, I saw a couple of food documetaries, including Forks Over Knives that promoted a plant based diet. I had been vegetarian years ago, and did welll, so this seemed doable to me. I love my food, I eat a ton, and I have a TON of energy. I know it is not for everyone, but it is working for me. I no longer have cravings for the bad stuff. In fact, if I decide to take a bite of junk that someone else has, it never tastes good anymore.

    My acid reflux is gone, the IBD that I struggled with forever is gone, I don't snore anymore, and my lab work looks great!
