So...I read some of the first thread, then I read some of this one...stopped after 3 pages or so, so not sure what all has been said...
That being said,
I completely understand your concern about loose skin. I am 46 and was 218 lbs, and I've lost 90. I've been lucky, lost the weight slowly, and exercised religiously during the last year and a bit, and I don't have much loose skin. Just a little on my tummy that I only notice when I downward dog, lol, and the back of my thighs I notice sort of, mostly my skin looks pretty awesome for my age, lol.
BUT I understand where you are coming from, and it's a totally valid worry.
BUT no one can tell you what's going to happen to YOUR body. Just lose the weight slowly and if you start seeing sagging, slow it down a bit, eat at maintenance for a while then start up again, just don't gain it back...etc. Do what works for you...
THAT being said...I also understand why some why people are being hard on you about starting a second thread...
This website is GREAT for getting advice, but people will be hard on you too, and by starting a second thread you unfortunately just fed the fire for more of the same of that... not fun, but it's the internet.
Good luck in your weight loss journey. Don't worry about the loose skin. You have a great figure now, and young skin. I'm sure your skin will adapt, if you exercise and take good care of yourself. Have fun!!! 0 -
I've reported this thread 10+ times for specific offenses...

What a sweet baby pic you have!

How on earth was the "Women with a nice snatch" referring to olympic lifting thread locked in about 15 minutes but this garbage is still going on?

wow! so its okay for people to just talk **** about people's children huh? you guys are less human than i thought. who cares if he said any more or not. If i want to have a kid 2 years from now who is he to talk shi* about them? since when is bringing up kids in a heated discussion cool? or acceptable? whether they exist or not?
so if i would have said "i hope your next kid has down syndrome, or one leg" would you guys have defended me because his kid doesn't exist yet? i dont think so.
You're comparing apples to oranges, sweetheart.
Hoping that someone doesn't reproduce due to their attitude and general ignorance is much different than wishing ill like disease, disorder or deformity on someone or their family.

Just reported you for using the words snatch.
Maybe that will get their attention?0 -
Not sure how this string of posts popped up while I was changing my settings but felt I needed to comment: if you don't like the way this girl is going about her weight loss or her views of how it will happen or why she wants to loose weight... Go away. Why would you bother to write something mean, negative or discouraging to someone? And for those who post like mean boys and girls over and over... Myob, get a life. It's just mean to be mean.
Good luck with your weight loss, you deserve that... Everyone deserves every opportunity to succeed, don't let discouraging people bring down your mojo! I have lost 85 lbs over 3 years and need the extra push for the last 25 I still need to go. I am here for the encouragement, so intend to give it too. You will do great, I do not have sagging skin and I work out only moderately, I eat healthy most days and portion control was key for me, now I need to amp up work outs to get the rest off. It's different for everyone. I hope you find more help here than hurt.
Shame on the meanies.0 -

Meh, only 105lbs, cleaning and jerking 125lbs, but shoulder is injured so no new PRs in my near future.

I can understand on why so many people are completely giving up on trying to be helpful.
Beans (AKA Old man catfish) was giving you some very good, very real advice.
Firstly, how long have you only been eating the way you are now? (ie, One very low cal meal) is that new, or how you've always eaten? You mentioned that you walk a lot, and have done so for a while, has that been a constant? Or is that new?
Do you have any liquid calories during the day that you aren't logging? Coffee? Coke? Vodka?
Ive always eaten and walked like that.
calorie drinking, i now drink a gallon of water a day. thats new. i started that 2 weeks ago. before then, i did drink alot of different juices and stuff. no coffe or coke. an occasional beer though, like 3 a week
So the things you've changed to lose weight are stopped drinking juice and started drinking water?0 -
bull shipwow! so its okay for people to just talk **** about people's children huh? you guys are less human than i thought. who cares if he said any more or not.

so if i would have said "i hope your next kid has down syndrome, or one leg" would you guys have defended me because his kid doesn't exist yet? i dont think so.
so every time i get pregnant, you want me to miscarry? correct? or maybe go into foster care? or get murdered? you dont say **** like that.
That's different than a general "I hope future children from you do not exist."0 -

pretty much, because my mom said i was "drinking my calories." instead of eating0 -

Because there is a definite preference for threads that demonstrate serious emotional disorders and contain repeated and obvious personal attacks to dirty icky humor and light arm punching. Oh, and corrections to grammar. We definitely cannot have proper grammar, because that is so very mean. It's an interesting approach. Not one that I would create myself, but it is a free site.0 -

Not a bad snatch. Jerk is pretty decent too.0 -

Just FYI if no one else mentioned it (yeah not reading all those pages), starting attention-seeking threads that will very obviously and purposely create drama is against the TOS. And please, don't deny your motive, you'll just embarrass yourself.0

You have an absolutely adorable little girl. Take care of yourself, for her sake. You could be playing with her instead of entertaining yourself with this negative BS.0 -

This shiz is still going? LMFAO. OP needs to STFU and listen to some of the people she has insulted, because they are some if the smarties around these parts. And grow the frack up for gods sake.
go to hell. but first, die with cancer. there. hows that for an insult????
1/10. Try again.0 -
Did we have an overabundance of crazy in the Chit-Chat section today that it had to spill over into General Diet and Weight loss?
OP, before you do anything else, please read this book. It might help with a lot of your issues.

I personally think that a mod call to CPS at this point would not be unwarranted.0 -
I'm not "slandering" her, although considering this is a written form of speech I think you are referring to libel. I feel very sorry for her.
^Obviously not a parent. I didn't read the whole thread, I don't have that kind of time to commit but as I was skimming I happened to see the first part of this exchange. I have to side with OP on this. As a mother I instantly see red when anyone brings my parenting into question. We don't know what kind of mother she is by this stupid post. To assert that the world would be better off without her having children or to pity her child because of an internet argument is low. I have zero respect for what you said and for anyone who is defending your stance.0 -

He didn't insult her parenting, just her genetics/intelligence/personality.0 -
It will eventually, with time and exercise. I had to do a lot of toning on everything. Especially my stomach and arms.
In...
...to learn more about these skin-tightening "toning" exercises...
...that are no doubt divulged in the TEN PAGES already posted...
...that I opened all of given the inevitability of a lock on whatever round* of similar questioning this is...
* I was mostly away from the forums today, so I mean this sincerely...I have no idea which version of this question this is.
ETA: I'm only through page three....
...but am pleased to see so much correct usage of the the word "loose" so far.
Seriously, it warms the cockles of my heart...
...and stuff.0 -
Ok, I'm going to ignore all the bs at this point.
One thing jumped out at me. She eats one meal a day, in the evening?
Did the same myself for many years. Quite magically, I ended up weighing 298 lbs. As soon as I started eating correctly, the pounds started coming off. I lost 23 lbs just by adding lunch.0 -
The mods must have decided to go out drinking, because they are obviously asleep at the wheel tonight. Divisive much? Insulting to others much? I am guessing they don't get paid for being moderators. You get what you pay for.
ETA jof said cockles. hehe. :laugh:0 -

And I lost nearly 30 by eliminating all of my meals with the exception of dinner. Meal frequency and timing is purely personal preference. Find an eating schedule that allows you to adhere to a calorie deficit and that's when the magic really happens.
Glad you have found a way of eating that allows for you to do this as sustainability is the key to success. :flowerforyou:0 -

I am a parent, and unlike you I did bother to read the whole thing before forming a strong opinion. I even tried to help her.She's a 20yr old "mom" who tells people to go to hell but die of cancer first. You go ahead and set up a playdate if you want. I think she's rubbish, I do feel sorry for her kid, and I don't think that's low. That's common sense and calling water wet.0 -
now is the time to loose, while you're young. your body is maximally efficient at healing right now.
edit: wth is this thread about... out0
