and his wife, last I checked were doing fine. (Yes, is

the drummer :-)

, bless his sweet, kind heart...I'm still praying he's ok. I

personal e-mailed with him back and forth since he joined looking for

a weight loss buddy. Great guy. He was realy getting the hang of it

and doing great - then had a heart attack. I don't know if he ever

made it out of the hospital :-(

Unfortunatly the address I had vanised (that whole yahoo thing) - so

fingers are crossed he gets my messages and is ok.

Mark is fine as a fiddle and dodging / chasing the girls.

The fittness guy - Darrel - he has a pretty bussy life but pops in -

his website may be in the links :-)

does NOT work. You can muscle up but fat, when it leaves, leaves in

all places. You can't make it go away in any certain spot. It's just

an overall weight loss. I wished it weren't so but it is.

Remember the trainer guy, I think his name was . And then there

was the drummer, maybe he was . I don't know. Then we had one

man who had allot to loose who had an accident at work. I know where

our friend went. Oh well, I guess it's ok that we don't have

allot of men here cause we are always talking about female issues.

Hey, maybe that is what shooed them off? Hope not.

well stacy, i am glad for you. but that is YOU! and i can tell you that no

matter how many weights i lift, there is not getting rid of EXCESS skin that

CANNOT shrink down to a normal size person. It just isnt possible.

Again, I am very happy for you.

You know what? I think you are both sort of right about the skin.

I think skin can shrink a little-- but very, very slowly. Plus, age seems

to make a difference. I bet heredity makes a difference too.

I only lost 15 or so lbs. But I could tell initially that the skin on my

legs was a little " lose " . It's now sort of shrinking down and looking

better. So, my cellulite dimpling is going away. And I don't mean the fat

is going away anymore. The appearance of cellulite is affected by flabby

skin as well and the amount of underlying fat.

It seems to me that it takes the skin time to " catch up " . I imagine that the

amount of time would be much, much greater if you had more skin to shrink

down. For some people, this might be SO long that you feel the need to cut

the skin off! (Who would want to wait 20 years? Plus if you're middle aged,

the skin may never shrink.)

I bet lots of you can figure out your opinion about skin shrinkage based on

what happened after you had a baby. Did the skin shrink 0%? Did it shrink

100%? How long did it take to shrink? (Maybe you were too busy those first 6

months to notice the skin was shrinking? ) I bet the answer is that the

skin shrank somewhere between 0% and 100% -- and it took some time to

shrink.
