when does it stop?

i'm very happy for everyone's wt lost. i'm out 8mos, sur. was on march 11, 2005. i've gone from 253 to 160, i'm 50 years old. i can now wear a size 8 in everything!!!i guess being older the wt lost won't always look good,if too much comes off. has any one else have this happen to them? are there any 50 or older marcher's out there? please let me know how you feel about your looks. thanks

Check out the Over 50 board. Maybe they will have some suggestions for you. http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/over_50/ Suzanne

thank you Suzanne,i forgot about them. best of days ahead to you and yours!!

I just turned 50 in Oct and was quite a bit bigger than you so needless to say I hate my body, but I do like being 150lbs lighter. Hopefully the tummy tuck helps alot but the thighs yuk. I need to start saving money for all the plastics up ahead. I had my surgery March 3rd.

I am down about the same amount as you, and even though I feel a lot better, and people say I look great, I think I look older. I have this sagging skin under my neck and my thighs and upper arms look awful. (I turned 50 in April)

I am 49 - had my surgery March 30th - Am down from 258 to 155 and I know what you mean - I have loose skin under my neck and now when I go to Kroger they offer me the 55 year old senior citizen's discount! When I complain to my friends, they just laugh and tell me to take the discount. I also have the hanging skin on my arms and have the "stomach apron". I think I look "ok" in my clothes, but terrible without them! Also, because of the stomach, it is hard to get pants to fit right - when they fit around stomach they are too big in legs and seat. However, I do feel much better physically so I can deal with it. Will check into seeing if insurance will pay for tummy tuck next year but will have to live with it if they won't. Good luck to you!
