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.

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...

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.

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

Please don't worry I have been to see my Doctor since loosing so much weight
and he shook my hand and told me that I made his day. I think that if my
general practitioner of 12 years thought that my weight loss was OK then
it's OK.

Peace.

Then why did you ask this question in your original post?....

Sorry I had a bit to drink and was feeling quite good about my self. Also I
had just read a news paper article about some body who had just done the
same as me and been given aclame in the press. I realise now that I was
being an Idiot... Sorry. Buy the way all I have posted is the truth.

Peace
