When I look at y'alls pics, I'm always looking at your ...

 Calves!  Im always looking at your calves.  

Almost 5mo out (with my effin gallbladder just taken out Thursday ugh) and down 91lbs.  I started at 340.  Everything except the big old spare tire around my middle is melting, but my calves are hanging tough.  They used to be hard as a rock but now they're softer - not really "hanging" but that is the fear.

Im afraid they're going to stay big and I'll have disproportionate, misshapen calves lol.  I haven't wanted to wear a dress and some great fitting jeggings are a little tight in the calves.

So yeah Ive been enlarging and studying all your calves.

My calves are super manly looking :(((((  They sag when I hold them up...boo hoo.


I can't complain though because they are super strong, and get me around :)

 from a family of lots of WLS among us I have noticed that most of us have kept pretty amazing shape to our calves. I asked a doctor about that at one point why the calves held such good muscle tone and the answer was that our calve have been carrying around a constant large amount of weight so there fore  they are one of the strongest parts on our bodies. They were getting a constant workout.

I found that I lost at different rates in different places.  I apparently held a lot of my weight in my legs. I lost there first, then in the middle, then more in my legs.  You'll get there.

 

Also, keep in  mind that when you reach goal and start maintaining that your body will shift fat all over again and re-proportion your body.

 

Don't let it get to you.

I am going to be posting pics this week and after I took the pics, I focused on my calves too. Mine have always been very defined. I have always had tiny ankles and feet, so my calves always seemed a bit large, I thought they would start looking smaller, but not yet. I am just thankful these legs have held out this long and even at my heaviest, were still able to climb stairs. So, if my legs are a bit disproportionate, I will rejoice that they still get me where I need to go.

But I am sure the closer to goal we get, and the less the calves have to carry in weight every day, they will start trimming out. Just might take awhile.
