    You have had good feedback re turkey neck etc. I agree it will inprove with time- genetics dictates how much.

    With regards to the bikini- get one now, wear it about the house so you get use to seeing yourself in it, and use to wearing it.
    When you do wear it pay attention to your posture- everything looks perkier if you stand and sit well.

    Wear it like you own it.

    Halter tops are a good choice, as mentioned above, but I find the twisted bandeau the most flattering for my sagging breasts.

    Have a great honeymoon.

    Cheers, h.

    A stone is 14 lbs, so 42 lbs total in 11 weeks. That's an excessively fast rate of loss.

    Work out? do you lift? Lifting might help the chest tighten some. It depends. And losing weight slower helps.

    I have all of this and more. I also feel fantastic, and clothes and supportive garments can do wonderful things. I'd rather have my health and this feeling more than anything. Even at 45, my doctor says if I give it time, there is still hope. There is also winning the lottery and having surgery. Honestly, I'd never go back, and I can live with a turkey waddle, deflated fun bags and all the rest. I feel GREAT, and I'm going to live longer (barring accidents) and better because of what I've done. Focus on that.

    Congratulations on your weight loss and marriage! Do some weight training, maybe body weight exercises and give it time. Enjoy your honeymoon, but i second a good push up bra for the bikini though. That's the only thing that gives my boobs some shape since loosing weight . As for turkey neck, it's probably not looking as bad to anyone else, as it does to you. We are our worst critics, so try not to worry too much about it.

    I for one, am looking into plastic surgery. I can't handle this neck...if it's actually going to stop you from losing the rest of the weight and being happy and healthy, I'd at least check into it too.

    Many doctors have a payment plan, to me it's worth the investment to reward myself for all the hard work.

    We all have flaws. I don't stress myself over them.

    I think I'll take some loose skin and living longer with a better quality of life over being obese any day.
