To get the correct sacrifice ratio use this calculation: Take the catagory (C) hurricane multiplied by the goats (G) available to sacrifice to your total Horse (H) power, divided by Pi.

I've hit a barrier to losing weight. My current battle, after losing 260lbs, is in the skin I'm carrying around. It's not just skin, but because of it, I'm always having trouble getting lean. It's like that last 40lbs just won't go away and that's absolutely defeating. It keeps me from activities because when I'm in motion, I'm absolutely off balance with my skin often changing my center of gravity and just making everything sluggish. I can feel muscles, but they're hidden under all this skin fat that never goes away. I've been on maintenance for five years and I can't get past it.

Can you suggest a way of working down that skin fat? I am at a loss both in diet and in activity. I recently took up rowing, buying a machine for home because it helps me work out without my body getting in the way.

I'm very familiar with cases like Chester, PA which illustrates the issues with environmental justice inside the PA commonwealth.

Now, years out and in a different world compared to the 80s and 90s, has Pennsylvania done anything to rectify the nearly impossible system of addressing community environmental concerns?

I mean Chester was an example of environmental injustice not just because of the circumstances but because the system itself had no real way for communities to push back on local unwanted land uses nor address issues with existing polluters.

Much of the results we now have to deal with have a source in local communities. Nothing changes if there isn't a system in place to change it.

Thanks! It really was a game changer for me. Wow, the world is so different when you're a thinner person.

I know you're right about weighing the quality of life part of this challenge. It's having to make the hard choices, like knowing my waist is a size 6 but the skin pooled around my hips makes me a size 10/12. Lol I really wish the surgery wasn't so our of reach, especially since I didn't have surgery to lose it. Challenges, attitudes, and doing the best we can is all that can be expected from ourselves.

Thanks for the inspiration... Some days I need more of it and lately I've needed a lot. 😉

IF was the key to my weight loss. I still do it, every day.

For some reason, either too old or genetic, my skin never shrunk much. In truth, as I get older, it's getting worse.

Nothing like losing weight to find the body you're left with is almost as bad as the one you dieted from. I'm healthy but not pretty.
