I've got about 50-60 lbs to lose and I'm worried about getting the sad belly button where it looks more like my basset hounds jowls than a belly button? What causes that and anything I can do while I'm losing to prevent it?

If your young and havent had a child it shouldnt be a problem, It will most likely tighten right back up.0

Would love to know that but after having 3 kids its never going to be the same for me lol0

I have heard that making sure you get enough milk and yogurt can help your skin shrink back faster. Don't know but it can't hurt 'cuz we all need calcium.0

I've lost 31 lbs since joining MFP and my stomach (and belly button) looks great now. I'm 24, never had any kids. My heaviest weight was probably around 185 but I started MFP at 163. Here are my MFP before and afters:

I didn't do anything special either. Just Jillian Michael's workout videos, walking my dogs and eating 1200-1400 calories a day. Oh and drinking 8 glasses of water a day. No lotions or anything of that sort.0 -
I like to think of it as my bellybutton's eyelid! My permanent reminder of having 4 kids...that and the 'stripes' on my belly!0
