Is it possible to ever get arms thin once they’ve been stretched out? I mean once the fat is even gone, will the skin remain? I’m scared toning won’t be enough, I don’t want flabby arms, and I’m hoping that I’m young enough that once I DO get all the fat off that I’ll be young enough that the skin will go back in place. Or is this just wishful thinking? I’m hoping surgery won’t be my only answer.

Any first hand examples of arms that have natually gone back to a slim state without surgery? I’m getting a little worried, but I’ll start working out soon and burning some fat. I think this is my best bet for now.

Thanks for any help

If I keep going the way I have been… I’ll reach my goal weight of 130 by the end of February. I lose approximately 10-12 pounds a month. I was 205 but now I’m 150… but I still feel huge. I’m going to be there soon but I’m ready to be thin now. No more lumps, bumps, pudge or flab. Just slim, slender with that perfect healthy layer of bodyfat. I don’t want to have that “sad” bellybutton.  I’m going to start toning my stomach like crazy. My upper arms too. I want all of that fat and loose skin gone. If I still have too much fat at 130, then I’ll lose more. I’ve been keeping a handle on my eating, but I want to limit myself more. Less fats, more liquids. I’m very dehydrated, I have dry skin and get hunger pains from thirst. But for some reason I can’t drink just plain water. I’ll have to think of some reward system. Or look at motivational pictures while drinking.

I’m closer than I’ve ever imagined possible. I’m approaching the finish line, which is just a door onto a new track. Maintaining and sculpting myself to the perfect look… I think once I’m solidly in the mid 140’s I’ll feel even better. 150 sounds so high, though just a few short months ago it sounded impossible to achieve.  I’m not going to give up now, I haven’t gained weight back ONCE since I’ve started, and its sure as heck isn’t going to happen now. I’m going to lose the rest of my weight, perfect my body and keep it that way. This time next year.. of even 6 months from now, who know’s where I’ll be. Hopefully satisfied.

Gone. Totally gone. I’m so excited! I’m just about to go into the 140’s! For the first time since… oh god I don’t even know. It’s been so long… I never thought I could get this far. I had accepted that I would be over weight/obese for life. But here I am! And I am NEVER going back. Only 20 or so more pounds to go!

 I hope everyone is doing good. It’s been snowing here in Seattle, and it’s about to again tonight I love it, we never get enough snow here! I’ve been pretty seditary but it’llprobably motivate me to go for a few walks.

 I’m so satisfied right now~

I need to start making better food choices. Even if I’m not eating a lot, I still want to be eating better food when I do! My goal for this week: Eat proper portions, something fresh in each meal and HEALTHY. I want to be the same weight as I was when I last weighed myself (though might not be possible due to TOM). But I’ll do my best >:0

I lost a surprise 5 pounds this last week and a half I didn’t expect to have lost much, if not gain because the food I’d been eating hadn’t been the most healthy.  Maybe the calorie boost in my diet jump-started my weight loss when I started watching the kinds of food I was eating again. Though sometimes I don’t realize how little I eat, so though I ate some fatty foods, I probably didn’t eat much of it.

Who cares! I’m losing again, I had been semi-plateaued at around 159-160 for a few weeks. And now I’m just a few pounds shy of being in the 140’s. I don’t want to lose too fast, becasue I want to keep off my weight. I hope my belly chub starts disapating more soon, I think I’ll eventually have to do some pilates or some kind of toning program. Nothing too much, I can’t stand exercising lol.

I’m getting re-motivated to lose weight again, and really start thinking about it more. I’ve grown accustomed to a healthy diet, not eating meat, not drinking soda and avoiding many sweets. But I really want to do more. Maybe I want to be too thin, but I don’t personally know what weight would be best for my body. People tell me that 130 for me would be too thin, but I don’t think so. I want to have a flat stomach, thin upper arms and slimmer thighs. I’m 5′7″, so I’m not a giant but I’m not particularly short either. It’s hard, I don’t want to look sickly thin…but I do want to be small. I’m getting to the point where this is soon going to be possible. I’m going to have about a month break before winter quarter begins at the college, so maybe I’ll be able to become more active since I’ll have more time.

I know I’m getting close. I’ve lost 51 pounds in just 5 months through diet alone. My motivation hasn’t faded, and I feel more ready to lose weight than ever. I’m seeing great results, people are positively commenting and I can’t wait until I’ve reached my goals.
