Thanks! You will be there. Looks like you are over the first two weeks. That was the worst part for me. And then it got easier and easier.

We have similar stats and I can so relate to your experience. Thank you so much for sharing, I definitely appreciate it! I know exactly what you mean about the skin. I knew it would be like this, but it is still hard to see and feel sometimes.

I know, right? I find myself pulling on handfuls of skin at night! My arms and legs have just as much extra skin part as arm or leg part!! But underneath it, there is next to no fat. I'm sure the skin surgery will be easy with this much of a loss-the only problem is that I need it everywhere!

I know what you mean. I thought for sure my arms and belly would bother me a lot, but actually it's my thighs and my butt because they impact movement the most. My butt is the worst! When I do jumping jacks, it makes horrible flapping sounds!

I know! Someone posted on here his theme song when working out is happy by pharell with the words "because I'm flappy". I think about that and smile. I joke about it and laugh and embrace it because it is going to be there for a long time and I don't want to feel self conscious around my husband and kids
