Do they come with an opening device to pry yourself out of them after your

workout?

Re: Loose skin support " sleeves " ..?

Hi Liane,

Congrats on your loss to date! I have a suggestion for " support "

material which may or may not help, but here goes:

Back in the day (insert violins here), I lost 95lbs on a liquid fast. I

was 165 for all of about five minutes and had MAJOR sag-butt

from the loose skin. This wasn't a problem EXCEPT that I was

going to the gym a lot at the time and the " flap-n-jiggle

syndrome " made aerobics uncomfortable. (Sadly, I don't have

this problem anymore, but one day...) I bought tights from

EVERYWHERE: danskin, junonia, target, copeland sports, etc.

trying to find a pair that held me tight. I finally found a pair at a

little place called Title 9 Sports in Berkeley, CA

(http://www.title9sports.com). They have a pair of tights called

" Locks Tights " that have 32% Lycra in them. No jiggle! I swear! I

was thinking that, if the support hose idea doesn't pan out, you

could get a pair of tights and cut them up for the fabric?

Unfortunately, they're not cheap ($39). Or maybe you could find

fabric with the same composition in a fabric store (32% lycra,

40% cotton, 22% nylon)?

Gawd, I miss those days when I could fit into those tights, but

they're kept away under the bed for the day I'm not MO again. I'm

usually not the endorser-type, but I swear wearing those tights is

one of the things I miss about losing all that weight. I always

thought they were the best thing outside of PS. I even wore them

under pants!

(p.s. Title 9 doesn't have much for BBW, but they do have sports

bras up to 42DDD/40E)

Good luck. And btw, I LOVED your wedding pictures!

LOL! I was wondering if someone was gonna ask that. When I

first got them, I was afraid they would be like pantyhose, which is

against my religion. Luckily, they weren't. I was much " thinner "

back then, but they weren't difficult to get on or off. They kinda roll

off. I guess you could pull them off, but with the high-content of

spandex, I'd beware of the backlash!!!

Liane, My hair started falling out really bad about a month ago. It is a

wonder I still have any left. I keep waiting for the day that I wake up bald.

I had 5 inches cut off, It's now in a really cutesy style right to mid-neck.

I had a few long layers put in and I really like it. It's still falling out,

but I don't " shed " quite as much. When I find hair on my clothes they are

alot shorter and more managable. I hope it stops coming out soon, I really

don't want to end up bald, but hey I would trade fat for bald

any day! :-)
