Skin Control

[Windus 0]

I have been doing a 45 min of toning exercises in my pool after I get home from walking my 3 miles every night. I can already see a big difference in the skin on my arms and legs so I am hoping that lots of toning while losing the weight will stop some of the saggy skin issues.

The only part that sucks about the exercise is that your scale does not budge much while you are building muscle which is discouraging.

Hi Nean,

I started soft food this wed.:thumbup:!!!! I'm going real slow cause I'm scared I'll throwup. I lost 10 since surg and 30 total so far. I actually felt like a human this week!! We've had some cool dry refreshing air the last couple days, so I got to work in my garden!! It felt good!!

We are expecting a long heat wave for the next week. Yuk, I'll have to hide in the air conditioned house. I don't do the 90's and humid. I postponed my ocean vacation until Sept. cause my original date was July 7th. I live about 40 min ride to Cape Cod so I'll do some day trips to the beach.

I hope you are doing well. I'd love to hear how you're doing.

Im jealous you live so close to the beach. All I do is go to work and the gym.. its pretty much my life. haha. Im doing good. Got another fill last monday because I gained 2 pounds. I lost it now, but man I wish the weight would come off faster. Getting to the gym as much as I like to is hard for me because after work I am so tired and I have other stuff to get done, so next week I am going to try and go to bed an hour earlier and get up before work for the gym, crazy I know but I want to see if it helps and if it does I will stick to that! Glad to hear your doing well!

After I lose a lot of my weight, I want to finally look good in clothes. How can I keep my skin from sagging and my face from looking haggard?

I started the program at 238, was 226 day of surgery (June 28, 2010) and after 5 days 221.

Like most things, everyone's skin appearance after significant weight loss will be different. Three main areas of focus though are hydration (inside and out), rest, and exercise.

Good luck!
