I was noticing that my belly is seeming to "deflate" and drop and my boobs are loosing their firmness. The roundess of my belly stays big but its now lower and the flap is getting bigger. I feel like a baloon thats loosing its air. Hows the wieghtloss comming for you all on your bodies? It seems like my belly doesnt want to give up the fat! I started walking in the evenings to speed up loss and to tone muscles.

Wow Kelin, you OUGHT to be happy. That is a great loss!! You must be feeling (and looking) fabulous. Way to go!!! Are you planning on doing any PS?
I've got about 110 pounds to lose total (still 60 to go) and I am SURE I am going to need a tummy tuck.

In response to your question about having plastic surgery.........i am seriously considering going for a consult in sept (my 2yr band date) to see about having my arms done, id love to have an entire body lift but realistically the cost would be out of the question!

My arms upset me more than anything. I can cover my belly, but my arms? It's hot in south Texas and sleevelss is the norm. I'm also lopsided. My arms don't match. My right arm is a full 4 centimeters bigger than my left and it's noticable. How embarassing. I'm sagging in my thighs. It's just loose skin. So yucky. I'm hoping to tone it up a bit, but know it won't disappear completely.

I lost almost everything above my waist. From the waist up I do not look overweight at all. From the waist down, I am still carrying a lot in my but and thighs. I also have a bit of a stomach as well but it is more skin than anything. My lower stomach is looking a little flap like now - a little melted looking. My thighs look bad. Sometimes I think I will never wear shorts again without ps. Maybe not even after ps, because I am white as a ghost with freckles and I really stand out :0).
I never realized that I would lose differently in different spots. I don't remember gaining it this way. I have been working out like crazy and my arms look pretty good. I have a little excess skin there, but nothing that looks abnormal. I also was always so paranoid by my stomach in the past, but it looks relatively flat in clothing. My bubble but is still exactly that only smaller . . . even a lot smaller it is still out of proportion.
Really, I don't care so much :0). I'll take my bubble butt and flabby thighs anyday over the 50 + pounds I have lost. Thank you, thank you, thank you my wonderful band.
