      Very inspiring. It seems like you did it in a consistent, moderate way. And it obviously paid off! Congratulations.

      Just out of curiosity, did you do any skin tightening treatments? I have lost a lot and my skin needs a little tightening. Just wondering what you did to avoid the loose skin? You look amazing. Keep up the good work!

      No, no skin tightening treatments. I actually do have loose skin, you just can't see much of it. :tongue: I am hoping with time it'll tighten up, but if it doesn't, oh well. I'd rather look and feel the way I do now than the way I did then, regardless of the loose skin!

      Incredible! You look amazing. I'm 5'3 and over 200lbs this gives me hope and motivation. How long did it take you to lose the weight?

      I just saw on your Stats you started in August 2012. I'm glad to see it was slow, which I'm sure contributed to how tight your skin looks. My doctor told me that's why it's best to lose 1-2 lbs per week. Not only is this healthy, but the chances of maintaining your goal weight are greater. I've seen people who lose it too quickly and it ages them because they have so much loose skin. Congrats again! You look great! :)

      As of June 1st I have lost 85lbs! Pretty close my goal of 125lbs (only 8 more to go), but I might change it when I get there.

      As usual, I did the "before pants" pic and during photos as well as my measurements. :)

      a4e8d9c3-c904-4903-916a-93269a6af9aa_zps0b149d34.jpg

      Neck- 14.8 to 12 (-2.8")
      Waist- 42 to 28.25 (-13.75")
      Hips- 47.5 to 34.5 (-13")
      BMI- 39.1 to 24.3
      Body Fat- 52.3% to 24.9%
      Clothing- size 18/20 jeans & 2XL shirts to size 6 jeans & small shirts.

      ETA: I started in August 2012. My calories range from 1300-1600 cals. My main form of exercise is walking, but I have done the 30 Day Shred, a few Leslie Sansone DVDs and intervals on the treadmill as well

      You look fabulous, I had to measure my 13 year old boy this am to look for some new shorts for him and he is pretty slim, his waist is 29 1/2. Your waist is smaller than his is. You are doing great now just maintain that and keep looking and feeling great with this new lifestyle.

      I have lost 120 pounds and do have some loose skin quite a bit in my mind. That being said I am much happier and healthier now and I use it as a reminder...
