Hello everyone, I have to share my news with everyone. I have lost 50 pounds since the middle of January. I count calories and try to workout. When I look at my pictures, it doesn't look like I have lost 50 pounds but I went from a 26 in jeans to a 16 so I know I have but I carry most of it in my belly. I have to thank 3FC, without this place, I would be lost. I just wish I had done this sooner.

My goodness...yes, it certainly does look like you've lost that 50 lbs. Congrats to you! Lookin' good!

Brilliant work!

Awesome! We have roughly the same stats.. 5'4", I started at 222 and I'm down to 168. Heading towards 145. I was looking at pictures of me from 2 years ago and can't believe I was ever that big.. makes me sad. And you look great!

Thanks everyone.

girlsenberry, do you have belly fat problems as well, does it get better, the lower you go?

That's where I carry the majority... and yes, it does decrease in volume, which results in more of a hanging tummy.. but the skin will shrink and tighten as you go. Don't let it discourage you! Eventually, when all is said and done, I will consider surgery to remove the excess skin, if it really makes me that uncomfortable, but ONLY when I'm done losing the weight because I don't want to yoyo and lose the results of the surgery. Ya know?

I expect the sagging skin and hopefully after a bit of time, it will get better. I am doing "the new rules of lifting for women" so hopefully the core exercizes will help a little.

Sure looks like a 50-pound loss to me. Congrats and keep going!
