What's REALLY funny is to walk up to people and start talking that haven't seen me in a year or two. Like my husband's co-workers. I was talking to one guy at the Christmas party and all of a sudden I realized he didn't know WHO I was. LOL! I said, "You don't know who I am, do you?" and he said, "Of course, I do... you're... okay, no, I'm sorry". I told him and he nearly fell over. *laughing* It was hilarious! He said "No way... where did you go? Holy *bleep bleep bleep*"

You look Amazing and Congratulations, what an accomplishment! I know you have mentioned that you lost weight slowly, that is me! I don't mind as long as it comes off, what I've noticed is I don't have very much loose skin, just curious if you have experienced that at all? It sure doesn't look like it in the photo. I do exercise daily I just think my body wants to hang on to every pound and doesn't want to lose any of it.
I am so very happy for you!!

My goal is to just feel better and have the energy to be more active. I love this tool!
I started at 375. Trust me, there is a LOT of skin. I don't go sleeveless and I have to wear jeans that are too loose in the waist to accommodate my hanging stomach. Plastics will be in my future. Luckily, my face isn't too horrible. If I stare long enough, I see it, but it's not bad at all.
I've lost slower than some, but honestly, I think I'm about average for my starting weight. 211 pounds in 20 months... I mean, that's not too damn bad. LOL
