Hi, Just found this forum and love it! I have a question to anyone who has had a similar problem. I have been on the Atkins diet for the past 12 months and have lost 236 pounds. Started out at 452 and am now down to 216. I stand 6'1" and have a large frame. The weight charts say I should be about 195. Everyone tells me I shouldn't lose anymore...they say I am starting to look too lean. Most people guess my weight to be around 170 now and are suprised when I tell them I weigh 216. I have lots of loose skin and I remember reading or hearing somewhere that this extra skin could weigh 30-40 lbs on someone my size. Does anyone have any info on this? One more question... When I look in a mirror, I don't look any different to myself as when I was at 452, but when I see a current photo of myself , I am shocked by how thin and lean I look! Has this happened to anyone else who has lost a massive amount? Is this a normal thing? Thank you for any advice you can give. Greg
