29 pounds to go.........

Well, I have lost 171 pounds. I have 29 pounds to go until I have lost 200 pounds. I have incentive, real incentive. I have a male friend that walks with me everyday now, we walk for at least 30 minutes at the mall and sometimes more than that. Then when we leave the mall we sometimes go to the thrift store or shopping. I am on my feet more than ever before.

Can someone tell me at what point do they even begin to think about the skin removal?  I have plenty of excess skin and am very curious. I have extra skin everywhere, yes everywhere. I am less than 100 pounds from my goal weight and I know that skin weighs a lot. If someone could please let me know from their experience that would be very much appreciated.

Walking it off...hand in hand....one pound at a time.

I am at 165 and cant seem to lose anymore so I think it was May I had the tummy and a boob reduction done,I am so glad I did, but they told me that when you had lost all you wanted to thats when to get it done, I would ask a good plastic surgeon, I had mine done in springfield with Dr. Hawes.....vesta

Skin doesnt weigh a lot so it isnt good for getting off a lot of weight a friend of mine was 550 pounds and is now down to 179 she had skin removal in several places and only lost about 20 pounds from that. you would have thought a lot lot more if you could have seen her.
she looked like she was swimming in skin.
she had a lower body lift and her arms done and her thighs and also had a large lymodeama taken off her leg. and i mean large about the size of a basketball. and all of that together was about 20 pounds ....she loves what it did for her. 

Thanks Bev, keep up the good work.....

Thema, I just wanted to say Congrats on how far you have come in your journey.  It's a wonderful feeling I know I have lost 130 pound in 6 months and I feel like a totally different person.  I have about 80 more pounds I want to lose.  Keep up the good work you will get there.

God is amazing! God has brought me through it. God has brought my this passenger to walk along side me, through the walks that we take everyday.  We walk and we talk. Time goes by so fast.
Thank God for taking the weight and for the many people that I encounter along my weight loss journey. Praise be to God.
