So I am happy to report that I am almost 15 months out (2/3/18) and have been in maintenance for a while now. So far it has been easy. I love to run and strength train. It makes me feel strong. I think it helps make maintenance easier. I also have noticed a considerable amount of improvement in my loose skin due to exercising, especially around my knees. I am not embarrassed to wear shorts or skirts. I know it will continue to improve with continued exercise and good nutrition. I cannot stress enough how important it is to exercise. I think it makes a huge difference in toning and just overall being healthy.
Below are my progress pictures. Some loose skin but after losing 99 lbs on a 4'11" frame I think it is very, very minimal.
And just for dramatic affect.....the big pants. LOL!! And when I wore these they were tight. They are the one pair I keep to remind me of where I have been and what I will never go back to. I even took a picture of the inner thigh material showing how my fat thighs were trying to rub a hole. LOL.
AND.....I am also happy to report that I can fit into my HS cheerleading skirt. The weird thing is I only weighed about 96-98 lbs back then. OMG!! I am in so much shock right now. And I am loving the vast improvement of the way the skin on my knees look. Look at those gams baby!!
Hope you are all living your sleeved dream. Remember with hard work and following the rules you can and will be successful. You have to eat right and exercise. You have to make the most of this second chance. YOU CAN DO IT!!!
