Loose skin?

Talk to me about your experience here. It seems like I’ll have a steady loss and my face looks almost worse for a while until my skin adjusts. But my body (belly, arms, thighs) is probably going to take another year for it to really settle? When do you know it’s going to take more than toning to deal with the flabby, hanging stuff? I’ve got 15-20 lbs to get to my “ideal” healthy weight.

    So far I've lost +/- 180lbs. Most of my loose skin shrank back over time. I had a turkey neck & bat wings. They are all but gone. My stomach is where it stayed. I'm a week away from surgery to have my stomach flap removed.

    Skin shrinkage is a bit of a crap shoot. Time, genetics, rate of lose...all play a part. But, I would rather have all my loose skin over being obese.

    Here is my stomach flap (pre-surgery) from losing more than I weigh...1o0kkubh7hdz.jpg
