BEFORE & AFTER PICS

I've kept a pretty good documentation of my progress through photos. However, a lot of these aren't great quality because I've taken some by myself (in the mirror) but it still gives the overall effect...

149 Pounds vs. 275 Pounds

Post from 10/21/11 (I was down 126 pounds at the time): For some reason, 149 pounds has been my magic number (ever since 199 stopped being my magic number). Something about being closer to 100 than 200 just makes me feel more feminine and dainty. lol So, this morning, having finally hit this magic number, I have been pondering how being 149 feels so so different from being 275.

However, I've tried to answer all the ones that I can. Perhaps the most frequent question I receive is if I have any loose skin and, if not, how did I manage that when I was so heavy for so long. Well, this is a complicated answer so here's my "loose skin" story.... When I hit the 75/85 pound loss area, I had a loooot of loose skin starting to appear. It was actually really disheartening in the beginning. However, I did some research that changed my mentality. I read up on all the loose skin theories and looked at lots of surgeries to remove this "loose skin". I found plenty of people telling me it was hopeless that surgery was the one and only answer. However, in the middle of pages and pages of hopelessness I found this guy www.bodyfatguide.com/LooseSkin.htm
