Not exactly — after 20 years of obesity, plus a youth full of downhill skiing, military marching, and horse jumping, my knees are ruined...even so, I spend a lot of time outdoors, handling chores and riding whenever and wherever I please...retired life is wonderful.
Road marches... could be anywhere between 8 and 25 miles. That's what I believe she was referring to.
and your skin is holding up remarkably well given the amount you’ve shed!
Here's to what you've achieved—I'll cover the next Premier Protein round
I'm just messing with you, you look fantastic. I've lost 45lbs myself, but 173lbs is absolutely wild. Great job.
Amazing!! You have every reason to feel proud of what you've done! That kind of transformation changes everything!
That's precisely what I was getting at, carrying a rucksack plus an M16, a 203, or a 60...ugh.
I appreciate it. With a loss of nearly 175lbs, it's unexpected that the only extra skin I have is a small amount on my belly. Could it be genetics playing a role? Or maybe the peptide stack?JourneyToPerfection said:
Truly incredible — seeing you this happy brings me joy too
If you've also been using ghkcu, I'd guess it's playing a part. My starting goal was to drop 12kg (4 gone so far, huzzah!), though my belly skin was already quite loose after I carried a 9 pound 6 baby more than 7 years back. What I've seen is that the wrinkly ball sack of a stomach has actually become less wrinkled !!FarmgirlRebel said:

That's fantastic. On my stomach, I've been applying a mix of castor oil and olive oil too, and I'm noticing a bit of a difference from it...it might just be making the skin look fuller so the wrinkles aren't as obvious, but I'm fine with that. For my face, I do the same thing, except I use rosehip oil as the base oil...and I use a lot lessJourneyToPerfection said:

Wow
That's fantastic progress — over half your body weight gone. Since I used to dodge anyone with a camera, I have zero before shots of myself. Seeing proof of how I looked was something I avoided. Finding a way to help obese people feel normal again truly changes everything. Exercise, starving myself, and ozempic — I gave all of them a shot. Nothing worked for me until Reta. After surgery you pushed even harder, and I respect you for staying with it. Good Job
Thanks...geez, it seems like every one of us is familiar with that yo-yo diet cycle. Anyone who's been overweight for a long time certainly is.Lovedog100 said:

Duh, do you think we haven't tried that...morons.
