IF you could wave a magic wand over your weight loss would you (can only choose one):

A: Be able to lose all the weight you need to lose without ANY loose or saggy or stretch marky or wrinkly skin at all

B: Be able to lose all the weight you need to lose without calorie restriction, just eating whatever you want w/out portion control (but NOT binging)


As much as i ADORE eating and eating a lot, i think A would slightly edge out B!

What a question, Susie! Do I have to pick just 1??

I'd say A. 10 years ago I would have said B without even thinking.

My body looks like it's been to war and back. I can't believe what I have done to it. People would think I had 8 kids already and I never had one.

So definitely A. I want to remove any trace of the high weight. People say these are battle scars? No thanks. I have enough of them in my brain.

I agree with Elvis. I'm nowhere near goal weight, but I've been overweight my whole life. Saggy skin is inevitable, and if I can manage to find the money, I'll look into surgery for it. I'd choose A in a heartbeat.

A without a doubt. No stretch marks? No flabby arm skin? Yes please!

Wow 3 people already choosing A. i would have thought that i would have chosen B no question but i didn't realize weight loss came with a price. Now that i know that i have some will power and control over what i eat, i would love to have my midsection SHOW my hard work instead of a layer of wrinkly flabby saggy skin (and my breasts-oh let's not even go there--GAG). i so longed to have a beautiful midsection!

Put me down for A

The reason I'd choose B is because I know how hard it is going to be to maintain for the rest of my life. So even though I've already put in the hard work to lose most of the weight I needed to lose, it would be so much easier to be able to lose the rest of the weight -- and maintain that loss -- if I never, ever had to worry again about watching what I eat. That is the reason I'd pick B. Its not so so that I would be able to eat whatever I wanted, and how much I wanted. (Although that would be nice too).

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A, 100% A.

I would choose A. I am so nervous about how horrible my body will look even after all this hard work! Not B, because anything worth having is worth fighting for!

I'm really surprised so many people are choosing A. For me, it's B without a doubt. I've lost the same 50-70 lbs. more times than I remember and even though I always think it's the last time, I'm starting to think there will never be a last time.

I choose B as well. I've been losing the same weight over and over for the last 10 years....GAH!

2 months ago I would have said B without a single bit of hesitation. Today, I say A and it's only because after the switch to mostly clean eating I know how wonderful I feel eating like this. I'd rather feel like this for the rest of my life than eat a moderate amount of junk, because that is totally what I'd do with B.

B Because I loooove to eat, and there is always the surgery option to correct the loose/saggy skin

I had to think about it for 5 seconds or so - but A. My arms and belly are covered with loose skin and old stretch marks, and as proud as I am about my weight loss those areas make me self-conscious and uncomfortable. No amount of exercise is going to change that, and surgery is financially unfeasible, as well as not a magic bullet.

I would love to eat unrestrictedly, but - as another poster pointed out - my body works well on the fuel I feel it right now.
