Hi everyone! I havent been on here in months! I had a couple of questions. I finally met my goal weight which Im so excited about !!!! Woohooo!!!!  
 
I knew I would have some loose skin and all that bad stuff that comes with losing weight. I know even if I try to tone my thighs, tummy and arms they will never be thin because of the extra skin. The only answer to that is plastic surgery which I will not be getting!

I did want to ask if anyone has some good toning exercises or advice to give me. I need to tone my thighs, arms and tummy. I was looking online and they gave some good excercises to do but wondering if anyone on here had some other suggestions that have helped them tone up even if its just a little bit. Im so happy with my body with clothes on....but once you take them off not a good sight! Things starting sagging like my lower back and I totally lost my butt lol!!! I lost a couple of cup sizes too but it was so worth it! I feel great and I have so much energy to do things with my son now. He loves the fact thatt I can run with him at the park, play basketball and he can actually get his arms around me when he hugs me !! He is so excited that his mommy is "skinny" where his words!

Congrats!  What a great feeling to get to goal.  I think maintaining is a challenging part of this journey also.  We are never done!

As far as toning... I like the 30 day shred by jillian michaels.

WHOO HOO!!!! Congrats!!!!!!!  
I can tell you it is the maintenance that is the hardest part.
As far as toning... my arms are the worst... my bat wings just don't go away although they have shrunk a bit after using... the SHAKE WEIGHT.  Crazy gadget on TV actually works!  My arms, breast, and tummy need a plastic surgeon's help but my plastic surgeon said he won't touch me until I have my babies so I'm stuck till then! But I did it to myself, I didn't work on toning, just focused on cardio in the beginning of my journey, hence the drastic/fast weight loss. I started toning with a trainer about 14 months after my surgery and the trainer was like you should have come to me from the start... well, duh.  Now I know.  But oh well.  I call all my loose skin my battle scars!

Good luck!

all the weight has been lost post-op..I LOVE MY BAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

highest weight: 333 pounds (I know I gained after my last "weigh in" in the doctors office so probably it's more like 340 pounds)
current weight: 151 pounds (7/12/11)
I've been at goal (165 pounds) for 6 months now and now on maintence.  I tend to go up and down depending on time of the month and such!
