Only Skin Left After Weight Loss - Albany, NY

I want my face and neck to match my life. I hate having to wear a scarf in this freaking heat. These are pics from Saturday night with three other performers and a great loyal fan and friend.

These are my arms. Yeah. They are large. But the definition is pretty good on my muscles and they sag only about half what they did last October when I started working out. I was told at 62 arms would not pull up . That the skin was not elastic enough at that age. I was told that about my legs and stomach too (which had many surgeries not for beauty either) but now they have all pulled up. My "apron" is almost totally gone. Yeah . I still have scars and some loose skin, but way way way less. I am not done yet either. I am confident that I can build enough muscle to pull them in more. I might get a bit "bigger" but a lot less flabbier. The gym folks tend to think women only want to tone. I do not want to be a body builder, but I do want to fill in what I can of the loose skin. It seems to be working for me and I will be 66 this year. Do not give up. Drink lots of water too.

I now have to get pulmonary clearance. I have Sarcoidosis and have to be followed by them. My lung involvement actually went into remission in 2000 but I have it in other places . It hasn't been a problem though in other locations and I am careful about always avoiding sun exposure because it aggravates it. I get PFTs on Tuesday with a chest X ray and an EKG and blood on Tuesday. So I should know by Tuesday if I am cleared or not.
