older ladies - how does your extra skin look?

Hi everybody - I am 58 and need to lose 25 pounds. I am wondering if any other weight losers past menopause would please tell me how their skin recovers after weight loss. Thanks!

It's not specifically about menopausal loose skin but loose skin in general - lots of lovely before & after pics too

EDIT - I just found this link too

I;ve lost just under 70lbs and I'm 65
I have a lot of loose arm skin, but the rest of it is shrinking back nicely.
I work the triceps to try to reduce it, but if it doesnt, I dont really care.
I love the new me, and anything that isnt quite right I'll live with.

Congratulations, and thanks for letting me know about the skin!
