Feels good to lose weight. Even seeing these pics it feels like i look the same but then i see my pants size and i know i'm smaller but idk, it's a mental thing. i do feel really good though. and the extra skin is getting WAYYYYY better. :blushing:

    That's great! What do you do for the extra skin to make it better?

    You look so good! we had nearly the same start and goal weight - 215 to 150. I think it took me a long longer though, not sure when I lost the first ten but 204 - 183 has taken about 2 months.

    How tall are you? What are you doing for exercise? I think my final 'dream' goal weight is going to be 135 but I notice a huge difference in myself already, despite still being pretty fat.

    I wish I knew the answer to that. I have a lot of extra skin but it has gone down on its own...

    I am 5'5" and I do a variety of dvds. I stick to turbo fire most days but I also do weights with chalean extreme and sometimes do turbo kick or turbo jam. :) I originally wanted to be 139 but found out that my lean body mass with 0% body fat is 139. Lol. So im aiming for a size 6. Not sure what weight that'll be but im a 10 now so hopefully by 160 or 150.

    I went up to 252.8lbs in feb 2007, down to 180lbs in 08, up to 250lbs in 2008, down toto 180lbs in 2009, up to 240+ in 2010, down to 183.8lbs as of this week. Two HUGE pregnancies wreak havoc on your body and leave you with extra skin.

    I am 5'6" and last time I was 135 (At 5'5") I could just sometimes get into a 6 on the bottom and of course it varied by brand - this was in HS so I was in decent shape but probably not as muscular as I will be when I am done here. I'm assuming that I will need to be about 135 to get into a 6 regularly and comfortably -- but you look like you carry a little more weight up top and I carry a little more on the bottom so you might get into that 6 sooner than me. I was certainly a 6 on top and sometimes a 4, if I could squeeze it over the boobs (34D/DD - which I am back into, YAY!).

    So I asked about the Lean body mass on the forums earlier because I found out that I was 129 lbm - which would make 135 WAY IMPOSSIBLE and someone said that as you lose weight you will also lose SOME lbm (*cry*). Have you ever heard that?
