Success with big weight loss & questions!

Hi All

I wasnt sure where to log this so I'll try in here! Im looking for people that have had a large weightloss, i have lost 100 lbs now in total going from 252lb to 152lb, im just 12lb away from my target weight, but i have to say the weightloss is very slow now but i will keep plugging away!

What i'd like to know is, where i have lost so much weight i have a saggy stomach, also 'bingo wings' at the top of my arms, i do lots of weight training/cardio at the gym but nothing seems to be helping to firm these up? Has anyone else been able to tone up flabby skin without undergoing drastic surgery? I am 41 yrs old, so my skin isnt as elastic as it used to be, i just cant see me ever being able to get rid of it so hoping for some inspiration from others that might have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

That is one of my main fears with losing weight. I am 50 (Sunday) and I know it will not tone up. So I have used it as an excuse not to lose weight. But that is no longer going to happen!!

they say it takes a c ouple of years to know for sure where you skin will land, Mine hasnt been so kind. I look fine with clothes on, but I have some major skin issues. and I am not talking about just plain old you cant wear a bikini skin issue, I am talking about loose skin just hanging out all over. I keep the clothes on, and I am grateful I do not live in a warm climate. :bigsmile: I wont even wear a short sleeve tshirt out of the house, it needs to be 3/4 length. I am also 41 years old. I hope you have better luck than I ..

and before ANYONE asks, I didnt have weight loss surgery, it took me just under two years to lose the weight, I worked out with weights from day one, ( I have amazing muscles, just check out my pics), I drink over a gallon of water a day. in other words, I did it all "right" for my skin to respond nicely, it just doesnt happen for all of us.

I am a year in from maintenance, and still saggy. But I can honestly say it has gotten somewhat better. Not sure it will ever be what I "want" it to be.... and I'm over it. Glad to be healthy and fit nonetheless. I look darn good clothed! LOL.
