I have also gotten the "you don't look like you weigh that much" from others my whole life! And in all honesty I think that is true, I am larger boned and muscular as well, on my dad's side of the family obesity runs ramped! I am tall too at 5" 8" and I am solid! When I weighed about 240 lb's my best friend was shocked when I told her I weighed that much, she said she would have guessed about 175ish.... now I weigh a little over 200 and I really don't know what I look like I weigh?? The PS I am wanting to work with says he would like his patients to be about 20 lb's away from goal because that gives him more to work with, he takes excess haning fat from other areas and uses it to reshape the butt and breasts! I looked at your pic's, you look great! Congrats to you! Do you think you will be putting any before and afters of your PS? I plan to do that myself (and set it to private so only those I give a password to can see them). Honestly my arms bother me so much, I think that is one of the very first things I will have done, I know it is not an ideal situation but I would rather hide the scars then hide the flab, I am very self conscious about raising my arms in front of people or wearing tank tops without a sweater over it etc... I think I will add my story today, just need to get some stuff done around the house first!

I also remember when we did Adkins once....my brother and I would put redi whip (the stuff in the can) in a bowl and freeze it. We would then put some Adkins sf syrup on it....I do not know if the calorie count would make a difference though.
Also, for what it is worth, I get my ice cream fix on McDonald's comes at like 160 calories per cone. If we buy ice cream for the house it is single serve cups usually. Also, if it is in a gallon we eat out of glass measuring bowls so the kiddos see what a serving is.

I will keep thinking. I have a 2.5 hour drive today to go see the ps.
Most of my weight was in my tummy and thighs. I was well distributed actually and often heard "you can't weigh that much!" But I did. My arms are loose as well but I am not ready to live with the scars. I get a lot of compliments on how toned they are but boy do the flap when I am brushing my teeth! I could probably use some work in the back but I hope what I have had done resolved some of extra skin that migrated back there.
My thighs don't feel too awful. Actually so much of the area is suprisingly numb. I am cut from the front of the pubic area, through the groin, and slightly into the butt crease. I was also cut vertically about six inches down....I would not have gone to my knee but that is my own vanity and thankfully he never recommended to the knee but just up high. I think my lift chair has helped since it will dump me out. The most painful part has been the drains in the thighs....and sitting on hard (like toilet) surfaces. Those are the butt crese incisions....otherwise I feel pretty groovy painwise. The emotional roller coaster is still running wild though....
Thanks for the tip! I am pretty close to goal, my goal is not concrete though, and I fluctuate in my weight by 4 or 5 lb's up and down, the last 20 something pounds have been the hardest and slowest to come off, however I continue to lose size. I always carried most of my weight in my hips thighs and butt, at my largest I was wearing a sz 28 in pants today I am wearing a sz 14 in pants, in Shirts I was in a 3xl and today most of my shirts are M or L in dresses before I was in like a 24 and now I am in a 12.... How do your thighs feel? that is where I really need the most work done, however that is where I am dreading recover the most!
