Hi there all you success stories! I am curious - has anyone reached goal after being "morbidly obese"? I have about 120 to lose, and my diet buddy needs to lose 200. We are making great progess - but concerned about going ALL the way to "goal" - because of the sagging skin. Has anyone else been there already? I know that exercise and weight training are a BIG help....but when you start out extremely obese, I'm worried that the skin can only shrink so far - is surgery the only option?
Thanks
RhaChaCha

hi Rachacha,

I can think of a couple of examples of the top of my head DWRolfe is closing in on 100lbs lost and Szar has not long passed that mark.

Check out their journals - they would be happy to share their experiences with you
