    You need to resize the picture, but I believe it is both.

    It's loose skin. I don't think any exercise can get rid of it, I'm afraid. It'll take surgery :flowerforyou:

    Like I told someone the only way I'll tone up is to see a surgeon.

    Best wishes!

    It looks like both unfortunately. Not an expert here but you look like you have some fat to lose and the skin may shrink back some, but it is highly unlikely it will ever be close to flat without surgery. Sorry. :flowerforyou:

    Looks to me like you've put in a ton of HARD work! :happy: Good for you! It does look like you've got a bit of skin there. Maybe you could get in to see your primary doc for more info.

    It looks like fat, covered with skin. Skin isn't that thick by itself, so if you lose weight, some of that is bound to shrink. Look at the success stories thread. Lots of people had tummies that were a bit much, but they shrunk them considerably. Lots of people on here have lost a 100 lbs or more. Best wishes!

    Lift heavy. you will be amazed what it does for you - I have a few friends who have lost major amounts of weight and have gotten their loose skin under control - also give it time. your ticker on your profile says that you have 50 more pounds to lose - lose them and see what happens. I wouldnt jump on the surgery bandwagon just yet.

    I'd say skin and I've been told it can take 3+ years of maintaining your weight for the full affect of how much your skin really will shrink. I say keep doing what you do, lose the rest of your weight and in several years from now re-evaluate the situation.

    I understand and you are very brave for doing it. You are doing great - keep patient (I know its hard) and see where you get with losing a bit more. The weight lifting suggestion is a good one also. Hang in there.

    How much weight have you lost? It looks like skin but a doctor could telly you by examining you.

    ^ This exactly. I've seen women who lost more than 100 lbs tighten up really well with lifting.

    Yep, this is the nastiest post I have seen on here. Hope you arre happy with yourself.

    OP, don't worry about the sarcastic person who posted that. You have obviously done a fantastic job. Be proud of what you have achieved. Well done.
