Thanks for all the ideas - I'm going to make a list of the foods/snacks you mentioned. I have a lot of re-training to do. I have another question, because it's something I kind of worry about (but not overly-so). I don't know how much weight you have lost, but did it make a difference with wrinkles? I am 71 and don't have much wrinkling on my face because of the weight, but I wonder what my face will look like after I lose the 100 or so lbs I really want to lose. Also, what about sagging skin? I feel like I will have a huge flap around my abdomen. Given all of that, I'd still rather be 142 than 242, sagging, wrinkles and all!

@loriskt I didn’t get many wrinkles. That surprised me. I lost 95 lbs. I started at 265 and am 170 now. My goal is 150. I do have some loose skin. My arms are the worst. I probably won’t wear short sleeve shirts in warm weather. I’m going to get 3/4 length sleeve shirts. My weight was spread all over, not concentrated in certain areas. I would love to have my lower abdomen skin removed some time but insurance will only cover it if it’s problematic. I got some rashes but not bad. I did lose a lot of hair but it’s growing back now. I got my hair cut and hope to grow it longer again. Be sure to get your protein each day. That helps with the hair. All of these things are worth being smaller and feeling great.
