=======================
Sounds great. :-) I still have the ones I bought last fall on sale ($2 and
$3.99 each, marked down from $14.99 and $19.99). By your next vacation
they'll be falling off of you.

great job. its always fun to find out you need the smaller size. i
bought the first size 16s ive had since highschool but those back then
were on the way up! hell, i think i was thinking about 13/14s when i
was in 8th grade, so we're talking a lot of years there. great job on
the suits. you're braver than i am. im VERY pale (blonde/blue and
WHITEEEEE) so im very self consious about the very red stretch marks
ive gotten (thank you paxil, i hate you glaxo-smithkline). ive seen
supermodels that look like complete ass in monokinis, so dont feel bad
about that. again, great job.

WOW!!!!!I lost 2 pounds I'm at a new low and I know it has to do partially
with yesterdays new found restraint. I've been very good lately, and
exercising, but the scale wasn't budging.

guess the clothing try-on outings do work for motivation.

Anything below my ribcage is always the most resilient to change. But the
tush and legs have changed. I feel like a freak. I will admit never giving
the tummy flab to adjust in the past. I would lose a lot of weight (talking
100 pounds once), look in the mirror, see the panniculus from Hell (tummy
apron, the f'n thing actually has a medical name), think,
I worked so hard to still have this (never mind I wasn't exercising),
figured "what the hell" and put the weight back on. Yeah, I'll show you.
*sigh*

This time around I'm giving things a good year to see what changes. I'm
working at a hospital based gym now, and will even start venturing into the
world of weights. I still think a tummy tuck will be in my future, not to
mention a bat wingectomy.

I don't even want to think about swimsuits. I've had myself convinced for
years I didn't need one, that I didn't really like the water.

I was at my highest 256 five-ten years ago. Lost 100 pounds twice, had two
pregnancies, I'm 42, so I fear there is a lot of damage I have done to
myself that only surgery can correct. But this time around, I would like to
see what I can do myself for a good year first.

I see a lot of soft flab on my thighs and some around my middle- I can see
how if you lost a large amount of weight, the skin would have a hard time
recovering.

I've taken vitamin supplements from day 1 and think it has helped. That
along with a very slow weight loss lately. I think it does take time to
recover. We need to hear from posters who have kept the weight off over 2
years. My face- I use all the anti wrinkle stuff, but the rest of me doesn't
get more than Sauvé Firming lotion- can't say it helps.

For a 55 lb lose, I think I've faired well for age 51.
