Weight loss Question
"Dally" wrote in message ... JMA wrote: wrote in message ink.net... Which brings me to another point. When I read that someone got 25 pounds of skin removed after weight loss. And they only lost 100 pounds. I would love to know the fat/skin ratio of that removed. Depending on the type of surgery, quite a bit of subcutaneous fat comes out with the skin. A simple tummy tuck doesn't take out a lot of fat, but if you have a torso surgery (affects the back and sides also), they can remove the entire front panel of your abdomen. I saw it on tv once and it they took everything from the rib cage down to the hip in two sections (down the middle) off entirely then stretched the skin around from the back like a jacket. You end up with a scar down the middle and one full circle around your hip area so you still look scary when naked. This brings me to my biggest beef with the entire Body for Life program. the "look good naked" motto. There's just no way I'm going to look good naked ever again. Not going to happen. Setting it up as a goal is just depressing. Dally I'm really not too concerned with the naked part. Between my gall bladder surgery done the old fashioned way, stretch marks and the remnants of some burns, I was never going to look good. For me, having the torso job would probably *improve* the appearance of my abdomen. BION, I have seen some BFL pics of women who appear to have an apron, but found a bikini bottom that camouflaged it well. Ok, still not naked... Jenn |

Is loosing 106 pounds in 23 weeks OK or am I missing something. Have you begun plans for a maintenance plan to keep it off? "Fail to plan an plan to fail". It would suck to gain it all back because you fell off the wagaon and binged back the whole way. Figuring out how to maintain it is crucial for you now. Generally the folks who lose slowest have the best chance for keeping it off. How much of this is because slower means better planned, no one can say. But at least it means the time for you to start planning is now. |

Weight loss Question
Thanx for your positive input.
To be honest the amount I eat at the moment is very OK so to increase to 1900 cals is a bit frightening. I like my self now and NEVER want to put the weight back on no matter what it takes. One other thing. Some body mentioned that I would not be getting the proper vitamins and minerals, I take a supplement every day so don't worry. Peace J. "Doug Freyburger" wrote in message om...
