I know becaus...113 lbs. means a lot of loose skin. I know because I've lost 104 lbs. In some ways I think the loose skin looks worse without the fat to keep it in place. Now the skin just wobbles and hangs there, at least on me. I'm thinking this may be a part of what you're experiencing.<br /><br />BUT...A CRUISE!!! Do you know there are people (like me) who've never been on a cruise and who can't afford vacations. So please, enjoy yourself!Amanda Kiskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08035180757671095192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818996339381602318.post-15402523708409830032011-02-02T14:30:51.142-08:002011-02-02T14:30:51.142-08:00you have done an amazing job for sure ! exercise ...you have done an amazing job for sure ! exercise is important but all of us who have alot to loose are going to have to deal with loose skin etc - and I understand what you are saying about being harder on yourself now as you are going down, down - I am noticing more faults in my body nowtoo but that's because I refused to look at myself when I was heavier .Silverhairedgoddesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10328941381121552421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818996339381602318.post-3808560328870322072011-02-02T13:53:18.386-08:002011-02-02T13:53:18.386-08:00You're doing amazing!

And you know what everyone else is thinking about in their bathing suits - they're all secretly wondering if everyone else is thinking about their bodies!<br /><br />If you think you should do some strength training, then go for it, lady. :) You're in "good" company now, because I'm in the "I need to workout more" stage myself, but I haven't done much to change that.<br /><br />Maybe we should be like Ms. M and make a workout 4 days a week challenge? I do so love a good challenge, don't you? :)Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136948771014366470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818996339381602318.post-40375811782039764882011-02-02T11:57:21.176-08:002011-02-02T11:57:21.176-08:00I couldn't get past cruise.

A lot of us struggle with exercise, but remember that it's not only going to help your weight loss, but it will help you tone as well.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00603681230277050772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818996339381602318.post-74632680693458632762011-02-02T09:09:18.771-08:002011-02-02T09:09:18.771-08:00It is so hard to not be self-conscious about our b...It is so hard to not be self-conscious about our bodies. But you are such a beautiful lady, I hate to know that you feel bad about yourself. You don't deserve that.<br /><br />Working out? I haven't started yet, but I bought a Zumba workout for Wii. It looks like fun, but I am afraid to start it for some reason. I need to push through that and just do it.Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00399920865062366774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818996339381602318.post-65053580361065551042011-02-02T06:55:09.477-08:002011-02-02T06:55:09.477-08:00I think you've done amazingly well, you have t...I think you've done amazingly well, you have to feel better with 113 pounds gone, celebrate that!<br />I'm proud of you.

And ...Maria, you've done an amazing job so far! And I know you'll continue to greatness! Sure, weight training would help -- it's good for us women for all kinds of reasons. I do think you should be happy with your progress. Our journeys are all so different -- and who cares if you took a toll road here or there. Sometimes we need a little easy patch to get us through. I'm rooting for you!Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18351183370829095982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818996339381602318.post-33891638889800439712011-02-02T02:30:16.647-08:002011-02-02T02:30:16.647-08:00I definitely think you should be happy with the ra...I definitely think you should be happy with the rate of loss you are at! You are averaging over 10 pounds a month which is beyond fantastic. But if you feel you are not exercising as much as you could be, there is no harm in upping that. Don't get down on yourself!Justawallflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17735468144410586496noreply@blogger.com
