Feels SOOOOOOOOOOOO good! Ok so I still have a ways to go but it feels SO good to KNOW that I'll NEVER be that size again... and I now I have room in my clothes for the new (and smaller) clothes I'll be purchasing along my journey. Feels SO good! :thumbup:

Cont'd...
To be fair though I should state that I was solid to begin with, even at my highest weight I was solid not loose and flabby. After my last major weightloss (pre-surgery) I started to get cellulite, but I've found massage and exercise quickly gets rid of it... in fact I was able to wear a jean mini skirt again yesterday, totally made my day lol! - As women of color we definitely have an advantage in this weightloss battle when it comes to skin, muscle helps build (and rebuild) the connective tissue that the skin is connected to and burns that layer of fat between the muscles and the skin - once the fat is gone the "saggy" skin look WILL vanish. Let me know if you have an other questions - Good luck!

My skin is doing very well.. I keep compression on 24/7 about 90% of the time. By compression I mean a body shaper like the slip dresses from marilyn monroe, heavenly bodies or delta burke. I recently received a few pieces from bodymagic as well, they actually tell you to sleep in their garments, so I was doing it right in the first place lol. I drink alot of water and use alot of natural oils, coconut oil, cocobutter, shea, etc.. on my skin to keep it supple. I keep my protein way up and work on building muscle.. yes I gained 15lbs of muscle but I'm smaller, even tho the scale is higher, my clothing sizes are smaller - and to me that's what matters. My doctor agrees.

My inner thoughts, I don't share.
Yvette1026 commented on HoneyBrown's blog entry in Share my world....
We've all been there.... that's why we're here. Now it's time to take those negative experiences and turn them into a positive by using them as fuel to do great! Let the next time you're crying be tears of joy because you have extra room in the seat! -
you may be too tight, or are eating too much/too fast...call your dr.

Congratulations! That's a great accomplishment!

lol I think it's just taco meat... cause every time I make them everyone (skinny or big) does the SAME thing. Most people I've made them for haven't had them the way I make them (which is silly because it's so simple just ground beef and seasoning) but MAN... once they get it they all eat around 6-10 tacos each. Saying the same thing.. I just LOVE this meat lol... Tacos, nachos, taco meat sandwiches (one of my FAVORITES with the left over meat when there is some - toasted bread, mayo, melted cheese, taco meat..OMGOODNESS! lol) so I can TOTALLY relate, just do your self a favor and only cook 1/2 lb at a time or cook a lb but throw it in the freezer as soon as possible - lol I don't know what else to say but I can definitely relate - good luck! On the upside once you have surgery you won't be able to pig out on tacos like you might want to.
