If you are on mfp.com, add me. My user name is hollirrose. I eat mostly dense protiein for a meal with some kind of seasoning or sauce. At 10 months out a meal is 2-2.5 oz of meat. I eat chicken with hot wing sauce, ground turkey with taco seasoning (handful of lettuice, sour cream, salsa-taco salad), baked fish, tuna, turkey pepperroni, breadless meatloaf with lean ground beef, breadless meatballs with sauce, chicken sausauge. I cook about two to three times a week and make up my meals in advance. I try not to have the same type of meat for each of my three meals and two Snacks a day.

Extra skin- Oh yeah, I have it. The thing is that I look normal in clothes. If I wear a Spanx, I look skinny. I wont be sporting anything sleeveless this summer, short shorts are out, and my swimsuit will have a skirt this summer. I have now lost 187 lbs and there is diff some damage done.

Oh the shame... No I am not an exerciser. I am over all more active now... But no gym time for me on a regular basis. I kept my calories pretty low so that way I didnt really need to, if that makes sense. "They" say exersize is for health and diet is for weight loss. I tend to agree. I am now about 6 lbs from goal so I hope to go to the gym and actually be healthy and not just skinny.

I'm kinda like you. I've never been one if those people that say "oh I love the gym so much!" I just don't understand. I look at food like-"is that good enough to do the elliptical an hour to work off?" Never found a good "bad" treat that was....thanks to my sleeve, now I just realize that I can eat normal and live normal. I am more active with my kids and life, 111 lbs down in just over 6 months it is working well for me!
