I almost never leave the house without sunscreen at least on my face. Oh- you're not a bother at all!!!! :D I love getting comments- it means people READ this!*~Roxy~*https://www.blogger.com/profile/04485312329754128991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2041751482622865043.post-21746209882147972662010-10-30T18:29:15.224-07:002010-10-30T18:29:15.224-07:00Hi again - I promise I won't keep bothering yo...Hi again - I promise I won't keep bothering you, but have to admit, it's super nice to know someone else is doing TAM too! Anyway, I meant to tell you that my sister lost over 150 pounds on Weight Watchers about five or six years ago, and she was about 35 and had spent YEARS baking in the sun. What has always amazed me, and what I think is hopeful for you is that her skin really did pop back (not everywhere, I'll admit - she does have loose skin under her arms), but my word - I was truly shocked (is that horribly mean to say? - I mean, I just was!). I really did think she would need surgery because of the extent of sun damage. So, long story short - you're far younger, and the skin comes back easier in your twenties - I think as long as you don't do anything drastic in terms of losing the weight by starvation, you should be fine. (Also - looking at your photo, it looks like you stay out of the sun, which is REALLY key - I seriously can't emphasize that enough). Good luck - you'll do great, and you'll really start to have more energy - that was the biggest thing I noticed after the bootcamp. Ok, I'll shut it now :)dawsonsedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05808366853882876455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2041751482622865043.post-72093090152041149902010-10-30T17:22:54.195-07:002010-10-30T17:22:54.195-07:00@ Susan- I'm still only (?) 25, and I have al...@ Susan- I'm still only (?) 25, and I have always thought "I'm gonna need serious lipo and a body lift when I lose all this" but when I hear stories of women older than me, women who lost more than me (gastric bypass) and THEIR skin got back to the muscle it gives me (and my wallet) hope. Less money on surgery = more money to spend on cute clothes with no scars!<br /><br />@Carrie- I'm glad you finished~ I hope bootcamp changes me for the better too. As a junk food addict the worst part will be dieting. I heard after a while you no longer want those crap foods.*~Roxy~*https://www.blogger.com/profile/04485312329754128991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2041751482622865043.post-71545373289781567072010-10-30T16:19:15.535-07:002010-10-30T16:19:15.535-07:00Roxy, so excited for you!

Still got a long way to go but it seems more achievable now. Will be cheering you along!!<br /><br />YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!<br /><br />Carrie xoCarrieNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08578264599958247602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2041751482622865043.post-48799386381520437942010-10-30T14:30:33.303-07:002010-10-30T14:30:33.303-07:00You can do it! Also, you are young, and will lose ...You can do it! Also, you are young, and will lose the weight gradually (I'm not saying it will take forever, but your skin at this age is more elastic). If you were, say, to have lipo and lose it all at once, the skin probably wouldn't snap back. But, since it'll take a bit, your skin will snap back better. You'll do great! And just know that no matter how many pounds you have to lose, it can be overwhelming for anyone - I have more than a few myself, and have those days, but don't let that trip you up -this works, and the way you will start to feel will make it worth it!<br />-Susandawsonsedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05808366853882876455noreply@blogger.com
