Crepe, huh (G) Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay (G)
I "only" lost 60 and had/have less to skin to shrink, I guess. I still have a modest spare tire. But
I no longer look like I'm in my 18th month!!!!!!! (G) And I have also lost my "boobilishous" look,
too. My friend, just today, mentioned extreme makeover while biking. I've never watched it - I did
see an Oprah "results" show a week or so ago.
I do recall thinking that maybe liposuction would be a good way to get rid of the fat cells which
still want to be "fed" but who knows.
At the moment, natural processes appear to be working fine.
Lesanne said:I have some muscle. And some extra skin too. But truly I think that when those people on the
extreme makeovers and such, who had 10 pounds of skin removed, after losses like mine had some fat
removed with it. Many places on me, the skin is loose, but with no fat under it, or not much, it is
very very thin, and could not possibly weigh very much. I still have a bit of actual fat on the
back of my upper arms, and on my hips, and of course on the boobilishous area. I still am top
heavy. I can take off a few more. Not a lot though. An interesting thing. Before I lost that last
bit? I had some kind of hangy skin under my chin. When the fat left there the skin is making a
valiant effort to cling to the tissue under there and the hangy is much less apparent. That is also
happening on my abdomen. I can actually see hints of stomach muscles on my upper abdomen, under the
cute little wrinkles (looks like crepe). I decided to think of it as cute, keeps me happy.

Maybe a tad. I do think that WW does not consider muscle/fat but then again, they don't have the
facilities to do that. Maybe I should invest in a full fat/muscle checkup besides finally getting
all of the blood chemistry done - it's been a number of years and nothing since the diet.

I think)

I have honey nut cheerios and milk (I was surprised they have less fat then regular cherrios).
And because of Natalie, MANGO (when I checked the labels for her)
