So I have a couple questions? How much saggy skin is there? Are you going to be posting pics like you were thinking about? I think the concensus was that yes it was a good idea. Now, if there actually is a lot of skin, and it didn't go away, would you have surgery done to remove the excess? Just curious.

yeah ill get to the skin pics eventually. atm i cant really be arsed 
Saggy skin - well the tummy is worst - its all wrinkled like an old lady. The rest wrinkles only when held in particular places, but it moves a lot when say im doing running or something.
I think the stuff that wrinkles wont ever go back, the stuff that moves should shrink over the next year.
And yeah - i already planned surgery - but ill wait a year to make sure it shrinks as much as it can before doing so.
oh man its only 6.30pm and i just want to go to bed :/

I don't think the kidney donation is a path everyone would follow routinely. Probably that's why there are so many people looking for donors. However, even if it was a routine part of being human, it would be a part to be honoured and celebrated.
Your BMI has now made a move under 30!! I know you were already out of the obese category in reality even before the BMI change (going by your clothes size you have more like a BMI of 24 point something than 29 point something) but congratulations anyway - what a lot of pounds lost and effort put in ! Personally it's a day I'm very keen to see!
The skin. I think it's a good sign to have loose skin, unbonded by the glue of fat. My first husband was very lean and loose skinned and assured me it was the sign of a thoroughbred - both for dogs and humans.
Sorry you're sick. View attachment 3444

Always a source of amusement to me is my weight vs size ratio compared to others... so i found a site today that estimates your body fat based 2 ways ... one is your BMI height/weight ratio.
The other is your weight / waist measurement ... this is what it says ..
Estimate #1 based on height and weight
Your "Ponderal Index" is 11.52 which gives an estimated body fat of 43.4% (81.6 pounds of fat)
Estimate #2 based on waist size and weight
Estimated body fat of 16.7% (31.4 pounds of fat)
rotfl, could they be more different?! I suspect its somewhere in the middle though to be honest... but its amusing and i was bored and sick ...
I went clothes shopping today - tried some more nz size 12 (US 10) clothes on today .. ended up buying a new strapless bra and boob toob, and one of those tops that is just the sleeves and not much else to wear over it.
I have to go out tonight t a bar, i wanna look good.
BTW, can anyone tell me what their waist measurement is in relation to their weight?
Just curious .. nothing more. My waist is 35"

My waist is 38" tonight I'm ashamed to say. I do absolutely no ab work. You go cookie.

I dont do any ab work either. It doesnt do diddly anyway. Working the rest of me works my tummy anyway (ie weights and cycling because your tummy has to support you).
man i cant wait to get down that low
Thanks guys for posting! most interesting read.
So hubby got home and saw me in my new gear, his eyes popped out of his sockets and he dragged me off into the bedroom trying to convince me to undress. Im guessing the hot new clothes really are hot lol
He says 'How come you never dress up like that for me?'
So i replied 'Because you never take me out anywhere to dress up for!'
haha Maybe he will re-think that now

Hi Wishes. Those online calculators, especially the ones using BMI, can really be full of crap. I hate the BMI -- for anyone who's in shape it's utter drivel.
I enjoy your stories about your hubby. He better wise up, and take you to a nice place though -- you need to show yourself off!

And its funny when i go back and read stuff like this
And its funny reading back how i was so depressed about looking fat even though id lost so much weight lol. Now im loving it ! im on the home stretch!
