It has been a while since you were discussing excess skin. Spoke to a director of a local massage school, she is well respected and asked her for some ideas for you. The two she thought of were 1. skin rolling ( a couple of sessions with a trained MT {massage therapist} ) and 2. MFR-- and I forget what the acronym stands for. She said several folks have seen improvement with both so just some thoughts. Keep rocking those goals and best of luck.

Woohoo!
My office kitchen is a total carb fest, so I just have to remind myself “ little pickers wearbigger knickers “ and I fast while at work, otherwise I’m back on the carb/ insulin spike roller coaster
Keep going,your progress is awe- inspiring and very motivating 😁😁

I too feel more support here, because everyone here knows what you're going through because they're doing it too!

Nice drop. People can be so strange. I think sometimes they are used to seeing us a certain way and when we change or evolve they don't know how to relate to us. We are also an example of how change is possible and if they have something they could be working on they don't like being reminded of the knowledge that it's possible. The smart, secure ones use positive examples as motivation. One of my friends hasn't spoken to me in months. There was no falling out. I never once even suggested she lose weight. She just started backing away when I did. It's sad really. Whatever, that's their problem. You my friend are a beacon of light. A shining example for us all. Keep up the good work. You have been a great inspiration to me.

This only works if we all support each other. We may receive support one day and give it the next.

@2426girl - yeah, I got shunned like that by several I wouldn't consider obese... and two of them were guys! @maxie - so nice, you said it twice? Thanks! @miakhatch - mmm-hmm, especially from folks who want to lose weight themselves; and, that type of remark ranks up there with, "Aw, c'mon, be honest, you've had the surgery." @Sally_Forest - you are SO right!

Some people don’t like change. In any form. 🤦🏻♀️They’ll run away.
I’m not particularly fond of the ones who want to keep telling you how proud they are of you. 🤷🏻♀️as if they take the credit for what you are doing. Every time my ex husband does that I have to grit my teeth and sit on my hands to keep myself from stuffing food down my throat! LOL 😆 but I always was a contrarian! Even self hypnosis tapes used to make me mad and make me eat more, not less! LOL 🤦🏻♀️Just tag me as a rebel!
