  • This is why I've slowed down my weight loss, purposely, to about a lb a week. It was a downer, b/c I was all set to keep going at 2lbs per week- it was easy & really motivating. But the skin thing started to worry me.

  • Why not just buy yourself a couple nice, but inexpensive things while you're transitioning (you could even get them in a thrift shop) ? I think it is REALLY important for motivation. You'll feel a LOT better, and get compliments, which will spur you on to reach your goal (when you're still wearing big clothes, no one will…

  • EATING *MORE*- believe it or not- has worked for me!!! I am ASTOUNDED at how EASY it has been for me- at age 61 (almost 62) to 22 lbs so far- in the past 4 months!!! The weird part is, I eat MUCH MUCH MORE (in bulk as well as calories!) than I did when I was heavy! No joke- and this is NOT my imagination. When I was…

  • That you may reach a day when you will be scared to lose more- b/c you no longer recognize yourself. (I felt that way for a week- but it has passed). Change- even when SO good- can be scary as well as exciting.

  • SO agree! It is HARD to eat as many calories as I need to eat!!! (I know- tough problem to have, right?) And I DO NOT eat "low fat", but enjoy FULL FAT dairy- and lots of it! New research says it's good for you- and it makes sense to me (skim milk is a highly-processed food). Bizarre that I have lost 28 lbs (Since Jan 1)…

  • Chanel, I didn't see the full text of your message and the other photos until now. I agree- strength training is the way to go. I wouldn't worry about the weight gain, as long as your clothes still fit the same or better - it's probably muscle. Are you getting your body composition done? What does it show?

  • You look gorgeous! How much more do you want to lose? Is it w/in the "normal" range? Maybe building muscle would tighten things up? My concern (I'm 61) is that I want to be sure I don't start to get saggy skin & look wrinkled. I think a little extra plumping in the face is actually more attractive & younger looking. We…
