I had hoped to be in the high 240's by the end of this week, but I am not quite there yet. Good progress though, and based on the rate of weight loss I should be there next week.
I'm definitely noticing changes in my body, but one change has me a little concerned as there appears to be excess skin starting to show on my upper arms. I noticed these last few days that while working my sleeves would ride up and then get stuck, and it is embarrassing to have that happen because it isn't like having a solid arm up there. It is just a flap of skin with some fat in it.
I knew it would happen with such a large amount of weight to lose, but without the ability to work out and add muscle, with my bad back, I am at the mercy of genetics to see if it'll recede.
Surgery isn't really an option. Even if I could afford it I couldn't be away from work that long.
