How can you tell what's fat and what is loose skin?

Can anyone help me out with this? I'm really beginning to think I have more loose skin on my stomach than what I thought, but I really don't know how to tell! I guess I'll figure it out when I get closer to my goal weight... if a bunch of excess skin is still hanging around...

I'm curious as well. I'm down 70lbs, and I have jiggly thighs, squishy stomach and bat wings!!!!! I run every other day, and I've just started to do some weight training. Didn't know if my problem areas are excess/loose skin, or still more fat. Sigh!

personally I have loose skin only on my stomach due to when I was pregnant. I know its loose skin because before I was pregnant in the past when I weighed this amount, I looked NOTHING like this. It kind of hangs over I can actually grab onto it and pull and it is thin. It is skin. Fat is thick and you have to grab a small chunk just to keep in your hand/.

Thats the best way I personally can explain it, but thats just me in one problem area.
