Loose skin or fat?

ZaaKuma

Hi I've recently lost weight i weighed 210 lbs and now i weigh 158 im trying to get a flat stomach but i don't know if what is left over is fat or loose skin. Whenever i suck my stomach in though its basically flat not sure if that helps.

I would seek the advice of your doctor, and also perhaps a consult with a plastic surgeon (about $300 just to say hi here in Canada for a meeting for an elective surgery) to answer that question. Also, get a body composition done to see what your body fat percentage is now. If you're looking for the perfect 6 pack, it's always possible, with 10-15% body fat and a ton of hard work. I will likely have to see a plastic surgeon if I'm unhappy with my loose skin - but all that matters in the end is that you're happy with your body. I'm still learning to be grateful for the body I have now (after a 99lb weight loss). It's a tough one. Good luck!
