Did your skin change as you lose weight?

I was looking at my before pics & I noticed that I look way different now not just in body size but even in skin complexion. I notice that when I lost the weight, my skin changed a lot. They say that as you become fatter, your skin stretches out and when you lose weight, you skin reverts back to normal so hence the change in skin color but I don't know if its true.

Me at my heaviest weight:

Does anyone also noticed the same?

By the way I don't have any problems with my changing skin but I'm just curious to know.

    It changed alot when losing. When you lose that much weight your skin is going to be loose. I decided to maintain my weight loss for a year and my skin did rebound. Now I have gotten off the cardio junkie mode. I'm lifting for mass and doing circuit training for fat shred. The skin gets a little better every month and really excited to see 6 months from now after I have really pushed myself to the limit on weightlifting and increase my HIIT training with circuit training and plyometrics. Its a slow process but in the end I think I will be happy with it.
