Awful quiet :)
Awful quiet here on the board guys - could it be we are all hunkered down and trying to stay healthy? You can't catch H1N1 from being on line. So what's up? Me - I'm working 3 twelve hour nights in ER this weekend - it's been brutal the past 3 weeks. Not just the H1N1 stuff - but real sick people - accidents, heart attacks, strokes etc etc. More than usual. What's up with that? Wish me luck and send me some energy!
Hey Mary
May you make it through all this and stay healthy!
God bless the front line workers in the height of this - Capital health announced yesterday how they are having to move toward cancelling elective surgeries and how they are maxed out with ICU's dedicated to H1N1 and only expect the numbers to keep climbing- healing vibes are being sent to you.
I was laid up with my back this week - AGAIN- everytime I get to a certain point in my walking program I end up flat on my butt! So darn frustrating!
take care Mary

NS gal, I love your pic but tell me, where is your hanging skin? I have rolls of hanging skin around my neck and throat and the loose skin on my face makes my face look like an old sock. Where are you hiding the loose head skin? LOL

Ha ha - that's funny! 
Actually - I don't have too much anywhere. I am fortunate. Now - I wouldn't be caught dead wearing short shorts - and the bit of swaggage under my upper arms is a bit of a bother - but that doesn't keep me from wearing a tank top in the summer. And the "girls" are not where they should be. But - hey - no bother. I'm just happy to feel bettter. I'm tall - and always carried my weight well. So I guess that may be helping. Take care!

Wow, you guys are so lucky. I am 5 foot 2 inches tall. I started out at 293 pound s and now look like a sharpie dog with a sagging wool sock where my face should be, Way too much loose head skin. Do you suppose I was a "fat head"? LOL

Once you pass the half century mark, the skin just does not shrink like it used to. I know that I may move around like a younger person, but my face is much older because of the weight lose. I don't like it, but it's not the end of the world. Staying fat would have definitely ended my world way too soon.

Maggie I am 5'3 - and was 292lbs when I started although I think I had hit the 300lb mark as when I met Dr Christou I had already lost a few lbs didnt own a scale at the time but me thinks I was close or might have gone over !
If you look at my pics just look at last Christmas still a lot of weight on my face and I did go through a spell with quite a bit of xtra skin hanging under my chin but then things tightened up somewhat on my face..... Now as far was wear I am hiding this hanging stuff lol-
I carried my weight on my upper arms and there is a lot of hanging skin there ..... and of course the panni area - I have always had large upper legs so the xtra skin is there and my saggin butt! I can wear shorts but mostly wear capris and I dont go sleeveless - I wi**** all wasnt there but it is! Honest!
hugs
