Actually, she's a lot less round now.
Yeah, it's a good job I'm working now so I can afford all the new clothes. I've gone from chocaholic to shopaholic!

To keep the skin tight under your chin so it doesn't droop even though the fat under it is gone... did it do it naturally or is there an exercise you did or a cream you used or something?
Also, I bet your bones and joints feel a lot better now with that much less to carry around. I noticed above you said it's a good job you're working to afford all the new clothes... so does that mean you've lost enough weight that you can move well enough to go to work? I bet that's a liberating feeling. I was sick earlier this year and was home for a week and a half straight (after being in the hospital for a week) and by the end of it, I was so ready to go back to work. There's only so much one can see on the internet.

Congrats, Aunty. That's a major change. It must be nice to have a lot of mobility back.

Thanks for all the congratulations, but you definately don't want to see me naked. LOL
However, removing the spare flesh left behind when I finally hit and maintain my target weight is included in the bariatric service, so eventually I'll feel a lot happier about wearing a swimsuit.
I don't have any lines on my neck, I never have had, although I can see a few lines beginning to appear beneath my eyes.
In the meantime I've begun weight training my upper body again and I'm also now able to cycle on my recumbant bike again as my arthritis is better under control.
I did 10 minutes this morning, my first day back. Eventually I'll be doing 30 minutes cardio every day, monday to saturday. I always take sundays off and come back stronger and faster on monday.
