Default I did it.

I reached my goal today. Yay.....Six days ahead of my cruise.
According to FitDay I am still in the Moderate/Heary range, so I will loss seven more lbs. That will put me in the Healthy weight catagory. Feel very good, and look quite slim. Everyone I see asks if I have lost weight and tell me how great I look. I say "I've lost a few pounds". Ya right! How about 32 lbs? lol. Like I would ever tell. Wearing a size 11/12. The pants are all comfortable, some loose.
I have a lot of soft gushy fat on my stomach and butt. Feels very weird. Almost like a sponge. Does anyone know if that will disappear or what???
Good luck to everyone out there. If anyone was to ask me how I did it, I would say,
Keep your carbs under 25 a day and drink 10-12 glasses of water.
Get a pedometer and shoot for 10,000 steps a day. I just love mine. Bye Suzanne

congrats on reaching your goal!!

well there is no "sure way" to make the loose tummy skin go away.. i think the younger you are the better it "shrinks" back

my friend is 19 and has lost over 100 lbs [in 2 years] and she says her skin is still very loose. i've lost sixty and i only have a few spots

so i wasnt able to help

Congrats. I stomach skin will tighten up over time. Mine is finally starting to lose the sag look. Just keep exercising and eating right.
