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.

Excellent way to spend the morning, hanging out with your love, catching some sun and picking shells. I love the picture!! What do you do with all your shells? Are they poolside? Just a curious fox.

I have a friend who lost 150 lbs and over the last five years her skin has tightened somewhat, but she still has serious body image issues because of it. Some parts of her body are literal skin bags. The operation she wants will cost over $17,000. A co-worker had a tummy tuck in the fall, $10,000. So, it would be a nice dream, but I don't think I can justify that. Well unless Plan A works and I do win the lottery!! If not back to Plan B!! <tight jeans>
