curious - most weight lost
Hi all. Been lurking for a while. Learned lots of good information
about low-carb. What is the most that anyone has reported losing on low-carb? |

Anyone anywhere, or here in the group?
I'm at about 166, unless you accept my fully dressed number at the start and nude number currently, which would make it 175. 311/153.9/150 (328 fully dressed around 2001) 311 was about where I started low carb. wrote in message oups.com...

I was thinking of anyone anywhere. I only lost 25 lbs and I am thanking my lucky stars that that is all I had to lose. |

That must be kind of a bitch to deal with. What kind of weight? Cubit has said that he isn't having any bitchy issues to deal with. I've lost 142 lbs and I don't have any bitchy issues to deal with....much more serious issues to deal with would be keeping the weight on..... |

I have been worried about the prospects of loose skin. So far, in areas
such as my legs, face/neck, and arms the skin has recovered and sucked back in. In areas that still have some fat, it is like what is sometimes called loose skin. This would be the backs of my upper arms and the lower belly area. The actual result can't be known until the fat is gone. The skin does not have enough elasticity to pull the fat up into place, but once the fat is gone, there is a chance the skin will recover. I have seen pictures of loose skin after morbid obesity, and they look much worse than my situation. Also, such pictures usually still have fat present. My BMI is now: 23.4 Like the elevator operators used to say: "Going Down" wrote in message oups.com... wrote: Cubit wrote: Anyone anywhere, or here in the group?

My BMI is now: 23.4 Like the elevator operators used to say: "Going Down" I always smile when I read your posts, Cubit. You are indeed an inspiration. On a personal note, I hit 150 pounds down this morning, and it feels great!! Only 3 1/2 to go. I love it. Skin? *sigh* I have some problem areas, I'll admit, but when I'm dressed, they're so not even noticeable to people who just look at me. I'm my own worst critic. The lower stomach, the way upper thigh, the arm "wings"... but properly dressed, these things are not an issue for me. I feel great! Have a great weekend!
