Okay okay.........what do I do with squishy skin...it has me a bit bummed, not much, but slightly concerned....do I sound convincing?

I think I've been logging for about 300 or so days now and I have lost around 80 lbs...currently in a plateau phase but I have been noticing squishy loose skin primarily around the naval area and under my arm pits...will it eventually tighten again?

    It depends on your age, how much weight you have to lose, and genetics. Whatever you are left with after a year at goal will be what you have. It's the price we pay for getting overweight.

    I've read that dry-brushing can help...I've only lost 20 lbs out of a planned 80 but I'm starting early with the skin so I use this brush from The Body Shop (got it on Amazon, though):
