My Goal Weight

I think that i am going to have to lower my target weight. im only 34 pounds away and its only been a little over 2 months. 66 Pouds as of today. Geezus. I am starting to get worried about skin not wanting to go back to where it should. I am more paranoid about that than ever. im only 20 so i was hoping that i wouldnt have a problem like that.

WOW! Congratulations on your fantastic success! I hope your skin bounces back. Try not to worry about it. Enjoy your success!

Remember too that the younger you are the better chance that your skin will not have quite the sag and bag to it.  Its lots more resilient than the skin on some of us "older" folks!  All the Best! Pam

As young as you are I bet you will do better than most of us.  I'm over twice your age!  Man that's depressing!!!  You could be my daughter! Mine is only 3 years younger than you!  Don't worry...focus on the positives and there are SO MANY! GREAT JOB!!!

Wow that is awsome. You did this quickly.

I have to tell you that you are doing awesome.  If you want to lower your goal, then do so but dont do one that is going to upset you if you dont make it by the time you are alloting.  I know I am not too long out being that I had my surgery in September 2007 but I am currently away from the goal that the doctor set by only 3 lbs.  I am really happy with that.  I honestly never expected it to come off that quickly.  As for the skin...you know, I have been so happy because it really isnt too bad on my...you have to give your body a chance to catch up with the extreme weight change that it is going through...the weight may start to slow down but then the inches seem to start coming off.  I started out as a size 24 in September and as of today I bought my first pair of 7/9s....talk about a mind blower for me....the skin has to be going somewhere....shrinking I would like to think...I do know that when i went in for my 6 month checkup my doctor had commented that he didnt think i would need the plastic surgery to get rid of the extra skin.  Shoot, who am I to kid anyways...I am almost 39, have 3 children...I am going to have some extra skin..... You are doing awesome and I wouldnt worry about it too much...just take care of your health and you....
