    If you have pain sitting down, I would go and see a GP. He or she will also be able to tell you definitively what is loose skin and what is fat - and advise you as to the best steps to help. Sounds silly, but have you tried various sorts of specialist cushion for sitting on?

    I haven't but would feel too embarrassed to have to use one at work or in the car. My gp is very unhelpful but I have booked another appointment

    Looks like fat to me (its too thick) - keep working at your diet and exercise

    I just went through my weight record and was 14 stone for only 3 months so to be left like this after that is very distressing to me . I am only 27 but have this awful body and too ashamed to show any man. I feel worse than when I was fat.

    If I begin strentgh training but eat a calorie deficit could I still lose muscle mass as I only want to lose body fat

    yes but you would protect it more and it will help you long term and once you have lost all the weight you can start to bulk up a little.

    I have to say something though - men just basically like female, nekkid bodies - they don't notice the crap we do and if you are ready to have a sexual relationship with someone you shouldn't let that stop you
