It's the carbs :) Oatmeal is packed with em :) Not to sound too femme, but I've been using exfoliators and moisturizers myself since the weight started coming off - I was told they'd help me minimize 'saggy skin' if I was losing too fast. Looks like you've continued to make impressive strides on your loss the last few days, so kudos on the continued loss :) 

Thank you :) nothing wrong with a little pampering ones self, your skin will thank you. Yep, stupid carbs! I went overboard on them today :/ you're on a low carb diet, right? What do you snack on?  

I am, although I also blew it today. Housemate was feeling wrecked, so I went out and picked up Applebees, and blew today's carb (and calorie) count with a potato skin and chunks of potato that were mixed in with the onions and peppers. Right back into it tomorrow, though. For snacking, I keep a Hickory Farms beef summer sausage log and a block of cheese handy, and just grab about an ounce or ounce and a half of one or the other about halfway between meals, or 3 hours or so past dinner. It's almost pure fat and protein, no carbs to speak of, although some types of cheese do have carbs, so you have to scout out the nutrition label when choosing. 

I like BabyBel light cheeses, or Trader Joe's has Teriyaki Turkey Jerky that is kind of tasty. Or nonfat cottage cheese is good but you gotta watch the sodium 

That's kind of a good point, most of my snacks are high sodium. Hmmm. 

Yes, the sodium kicked my butt yesterday lol
