I am having some questions. 1. When the weight strats to come off do you loos your boobs?, or do they sag or what I am a 42DD now and I was just wondering that last night. 2. How much do you loos in the 1st month, what size clothes should I get ready I am in a size 20 women's now. Well that's all for now...........
LMAO
Yes, I lost weight in my boobs and I am a male!
Seriously, weight will come off all over.
I am at goal now and I have a huge amount of excess skin around my belly, which is where most of my weight is.
I have some "bat wing" underarms but not bad. Many women get this.
Toning up as much as possible helps, but the fact is there will be excess skin all over the place.
I have thought about removing the excess skin but that isn't covered under insurance; it is cosmetic.
You can explore that if you wish.
but first get there.
This is a new way of life.
On the other hand there are so many other benefits. Here is my list of benefits that I journaled as I lost weight.
