Topic: RE: Missing boobs?!? (adult content)
Just an update, I got remeasured to get some new bras (it was a must) AND I was pleasantly surprised. While they're a whole log saggier out of a bra...in a bra I STILL have a DD-DDD! BUT have went from a 44 down to a 38
Pleasantly surprised...they DO look a whole lot better in the right bra! To all you ladies, there is hope for boobs after weight loss!

Topic: RE: 91 lbs lost....loose skin is frusterating though
Kevin, first, you look great. A whole lot healthier than I'm sure your former self was. NOW, I know that doesn't mean a whole lot coming from a stranger on the net BUT, I have a similar issue (if not nearly the same) . I've lost roughly 77lbs over the course of the past 7mos...immediately following two back to back pregnancies. My skin is LOSE and I'm only 23yrs old. Sure it's disappointing....but it's also causing health issues. I intend to check into a tuck once I'm at my goal weight (another 30-40lbs) Have you checked into one? Is it an option? How long have you been at your current weight? I want to be nice and stable, and let my skin do it's "natural thing" before committing to a surgery I may not need. Without reading your profile you look young, depending on genetics your skin may go back fairly well. Anyhow, you're not alone...you DO look better than you know (I'm fairly certain) and don't give up or be discouraged...you've lost nearly 100lbs and given yourself a better life...be PROUD!

Happy Weekend! It's pouring, gusty, and seems like fall here in MI...typical since a few days ago we were in the 80's 
This month is flying by - TT day feels like it's looming around the corner and I'm getting very very nervous.
Not much else going on - went car shopping and hopeful what I found will work out but we'll see.
On a weight loss note I'm down another pound so pretty darn exciting esp. since we splurged on some Chinese Friday night.
Your weekend sounds awesome so far! Love being outdoors - if the weather would cooperate again I'd be all set LOL.

Topic: It's the weekend!
How is everyone doing? I am a little sore, I walked 8.1 miles yesterday! that is the longest yet! in the sun, and hills and all! a little sunbrurned today, but felt good! we (a firiend of mine and both of our youngest daughters) walked to a park and had a picnic lunch and the kids played for about an hour and then we walked home. My food intake has been ok, could be better, working on that, but I'm doing great with my exercise, how are you all doing? plans for the weekend? cant believe May is half way gone
time flies!

Hi Kelly - Anne,
We're kinda neighbors LOL I'm in MI. Today is beautiful and it appears we've bypassed spring and gone right to summer with temp's in the 80's today!

Where are you that it's cold and rainy? I'm in Alberta, where we're in the midst of "brown season" and on our way into Spring. It was over 20 today (celsius) with a breeze - perfect for bike riding.

The weather is so unpleasant up here I've not done my walk in 2 days - can't even make myself go use the elliptical either....just pooped this week. Works been mighty unpleasant so that's contributing to my "ugh" week too. Tomorrow's a new day so it's got to get better and hopefully the rain will stop and I can get out again. Congrats on the first goal - that's so wonderful!

You guys are all doing great with the exercise! I really need to get off my lazy butt and do the same.

Topic: RE: 5/11 Check in's!
