Congratulations! You look amazing! I am on kind of the same journey and reading your story really gives me encouragement that I can get there. If you don't mind me asking a personal question, I started my journey at 333 and am currently down to 230. I am having a tough time with all the excess skin. How did you find it? Are there specific excercises that you are doing to avoid it? Over time do you find that it is getting tighter?
Here's what you CAN do about avoiding excess skin:
1) Eat well. Nutritious foods help you be healthy inside and out
2) Drink plenty of water - hydrated skin has more elasticity.
3) Exercise - this includes strength training. Don't worry, you won't get bulky. It's almost impossible for women to bulk up.
4) Moisturize. A good lotion or oil or body butter.
Aside from that, age and genetics will also play a big role.
Also, I do have excess skin, it is just on my lower tummy and inner thighs, so most people never see it.
Good luck!0 -
Just as everyone on your replies have said, AMAZING!!! you truly are inspriing to me!! I was at my heaviest at 264, im 5'4, I started losing weight and working hard and reached 210. Then I gave up as I wanted quick results.. I am up to 220 now. But more than ever I am determined to loose thise weight and be healthy and fit. Your story just motivates me that much more!!! Thank you for sharing your success and helping me understand that good results are not quickly achieved!!0
