Excess skin

I got about 50 lbs over my normal (healthy) weight when pg with DD. I gained way too much with the pg because I was eating like crap and not exercising (I was fine with DS- and my body bounced right back). About 25 came off postpartum, and the remaining 25 have been a struggle that I am still fighting. I have about 8-10 lbs to go.
As I get closer to my goal weight, it is apparent that the wiggly jiggly droopy skin on my stomach and legs is here to stay. Lets not even talk about my boobs after nursing 2 kids! The boobs honestly don't bother me- I am just glad that I am a C cup again, even if they are tube sock boobs! But the legs and stomach do bug me.
After 2 years, I assume I am stuck with my skins current stretched out state? I am definitely not going to get it fixed surgically- it is nowhere near that bad. Mostly a vanity issue- I worked so hard to lose this weight, I want to be able to wear a bikini again!
