I ended my plateau today!! whooo hoooo... down 2.7 lbs. I am .8 pounds from my August goal. Now to finish that and on to my September goal, which date has to be changed because I did not factor in three weeks of plateau. But I eliminated the evil carb I loved and thought I was okay with, turns out not so much.

So today I am having the last of my spicy tomatoe vege soup and cut up peppers. And someone gave me a chocolate bar, well a white one, cause I am allergic to chocolate. I accepted it. I am not going to eat it, but I am going on a long road trip and I like to leave offerings for good things like...holy shit that deer came close and I am alive~ pull over and leave an offering. So... white chocolate offerings. I took it to mean I will have a fantastic road trip, even on the switchback roads.

No personal experience on this, but a friend who lost a great deal of weight had this problem and said that, over time, her loose skin did firm up some. Evidently it happens slower than the weight loss...

Having a lot of loose skin removed surgically is very expensive....a co-worker who lost over 100 lbs was told it would cost about $10K....ouch.

Scoote and I walked the beach for over 2 hours this morning shell-hunting, with lots of stooping and bending, then carrying bags of shells back to the car (we got lots ) It was a nice way to get a workout and make a little vitamin D all at the same time.
