01/04 Unforgettable Weight Stories
Quote From: beckyinscHey Everyone...
I have 111 pounds to loose. I have watched tv shows where individuals have lost a lot of weight and had tons of excess skin from the weight loss. I watched Oprah today and know that there was a big difference in the amount of weight she lost verses what I need to loose, plus I am 25. However, I am scared about looking like that. Several of my friends have had gastric bypass surgery and have lost an incredible amount of weight in a very short amount of time and have the same skin issue. I know it sounds bad, but I think that it looks horrible. Please someone who lost weight the ole' fashioned way....(diet and exercise and not overnight) that lost a lot of weight doesn't have this problem. Thanks!!!!
BeckyinSC I have a friend who has cerabal palsey and she weighed close to 400 lbs. Nothing that she tried really helped her which of course it was a bit harder for her to lose, she can't hardly walk, uses a mobie to get around and because of her disability, has a lot of strikes against her, but about a year in a half ago or so, she decided she needed and wanted to get this weight off so with the help and support of family and friends she is doing it. She has lost 109 lbs and still working. She now walks better and riding her three wheeled bike, she does some exercises, and doesn't have to use her mobie as much and her words, "she is eating for one, not two or three", She is a great inspiration and motivator, I believe if she can do it, any ne can do it and she has certainly motivated me and she is my encourager and buddy through all this. She has always been a happy, fun person to be around but she is so much more then that now and she certainly is an awesome person and friend, she rocks.
