You Go Girl!!!!! Sally 5/17/05

hehehe...it rocks, doesn't it! I went out to a club with friends this past weekend. Last time I had been to a club was long time ago because I just didn't feel very "up to it". Sure enough I figured I should go with friends and just have a good time. Let's just say that my friends are very cute, and I was the big girl in the group. I've always had confidence in my walk (hey, gotta work with what you got) but used to just hanging out, dancing with friends, and not really there to "be picked up". Sure enough, went to the club this weekend and was getting asked to dance and just on top of the world. Life is good!

As I have lost weight, I am surprised at how resilient my skin has been. I am a slow looser, so my skin has had time to "catch up" and shrink with the rest of my body. There are only a few places on my body where the skin seems extra loose, and I think I can live with this for now. But my arms......oh heavens! They are horrible! I would absolutely love to wear all the little sleeveless sheath dresses and tank tops this summer, but I don't think I ever will! All this (upper arm) sag is so sad to look at, and I will forever be self conscience of it. I have tried exercising extra hard in this area since last fall to avoid this problem, but nothing seems to work. Free weights. Stretches. Nothing helps. Does anyone else have this problem or maybe you don't have this problem because of something you're doing right. Any suggestions are appreciated! Bat wings are not pretty!

Yay Dawn!!!You're almost there! Now you need to notify OH & let them know so they can add it to your profile. Great job, keep it up. ~Hugs, Barb
