Today’s episode I deal with the one of the most common questions people ask me after hearing of my 200 pound weight loss. That is, “do you have much problems with loose skin?” In the end, I have to admit that I do have a bit of loose skin (I affectionately & sometime not so affectionately my “SharPei”) around my torso and legs, but it could be much worse. I could have the sheets of skin some dieters (more often low Calorie big losers) have or even worse be my original weight still living in fear of loose skin. There are times that I actually like my stretchmarks as they server as reminders of what might be if I think I can lax up. It also serves as a talking point like my pathetic driver’s license does for people looking for hope, but most days I am just thankful for shirts.
There are other things that are claimed to help, but I have not tried. Cocoa Butter and Mederma are both used by pregnant women to ease the appearance of stretchmarks. Additionally, I believe the content of this Diet helps in maintaining the elasticity due to protein and fat being featured. The body does not cannibalize its own resources like on other diets, and many report their skin looks as good and clear as it ever had. Good skin health implies good skin elasticity to respond to the weight loss as well.
One final theory about loose skin:

To summarize the above link, there is no problem with loose skin, just a body fat percentage problem. I am at 11-12% body fat, so maybe I need to drop another 2-3 percent yet too. In either case, plastic surgery may be for some people, but it’s not for me.
My weight loss and motivational coach is my fiancé Richie, this week he has took on board what I am hoping to accomplish and helped with support and fresh ideas.
40 minutes of running/jogging/walking to start off the day, so even if you are feeling a bit tempted with company over you still started off the day right. Remember to STRETCH!!
Richie also took on my sparkspeople plan logging food and exercise; although our calorie ranges are different we still share the same meals with only small moderations.
Richie’s Veggie Chickpea Vindaloo
Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cooking Time: 30 Minutes
Yield: 4-5 Servings
Ingredients:
1 Tbsp Olive or Canola Oil
2 Medium Onions, chopped
3 Cloves Garlic, minced
1 Tbsp Fresh Ginger, minced
2 Tsp Cumin
1 Tsp Turmeric
1 Tsp Sea Salt
½ Tsp Cardamom
½ Tsp Cayenne Pepper
1/8 Tsp Cinnamon
3 Cups Mushrooms, sliced (or one of those 10 oz. packages, sliced)
1 Zucchini, sliced
1-28 oz Can Whole, Peeled Tomatoes with juice
3 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
2-15 oz Cans Chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 Large Potatoes, scrubbed and chopped pretty small
2 Cups Vegetable Broth
OPTIONAL STEP:
½ Cup Plain, Organic Yogurt (non-fat is not the way to go here)
Heat oil over medium flame in a large pan. Add onion and cook for 5 minutes or until translucent. Add ginger, garlic, cumin, turmeric, cardamom, cayenne pepper and cinnamon. Stir to combine and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in mushrooms, zucchini and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Add tomatoes (crush them with your hands as you transfer from can to pot) with juice, vinegar, chickpeas, potato, and vegetable stock. Bring to a boil, then turn down heat and let simmer for 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Cover for most of the time or—if you want it more soupy—leave covered the entire time. Take off heat, stir in yogurt and season with sea salt and pepper. Serve.
SIDE DISH: Indian Chapati Bread
Prep Time:15 Min
Cook Time: 15 Min
Ready in: 30 Min
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 cup hot water or as needed
DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl, stir together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour and salt. Use a wooden spoon to stir in the olive oil and enough water to make a soft dough that is elastic but not sticky. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until it is smooth. Divide into 10 parts, or less if you want bigger breads. Roll each piece into a ball. Let rest for a few minutes.
Heat a skillet over medium heat until hot, and grease lightly. On a lightly floured surface, use a floured rolling pin to roll out the balls of dough until very thin like a tortilla. When the pan starts smoking, put a chapati on it. Cook until the underside has brown spots, about 30 seconds, then flip and cook on the other side. Continue with remaining dough.

Hello Everyone! I began my new life in March of 2007. By August of 2007 I had lost 80 lbs, and after 4 years of trying with no success, I finally became pregnant, but unfortunately suffered a loss. I got right back on my regimen. And, by March 2008 I was down 102 lbs. By September of 2008 I had reached a total weight loss of 115 pounds when my husband and I found out we were pregnant again COMPLETELY naturally! Our little guy arrived on May 15, 2009!
I am so emotional, fired up and passionate about what i did for myself. I decided i was FED UP with being overweight, tired, hairy, childless, bitter and utterly miserable! I want to share this with you all. I want you guys to feel how wonderful i feel now, about myself and my life and even my PCOS!
If you’re ready to make the change. The change to happiness and hope, contact me. I am always more than happy to share with other women with this, and similar disorders b/c i truly want to bring everyone with PCOS to the same place of hope and acceptance that i was FINALLY able to achieve.
