    There is some great advice in this thread. A heavy Weight routine and time will improve things significantly and should be a precursor to any real thoughts of surgery - if you go to surgery, that will make thing so much more successful. Take a year and see where you are with the next picture then.

    An important point - that isn't just skin but also some remaining fat and tissue. Exercise will strengthen the area and create best way of converting from just weight loss to a better body fat percent.

    Best of luck in part 2 of the new you.

    Lift weights and lift heavy. Took me over a year to tone my arms and tighten my skin. I lost 55 pounds at age 53. My skin doesn't exactly have much elasticity left but strength training transformed my body.

    I just want to say, WAY to GO! What a faboulous result. Stay focused on your goals, and worry about the cosmetics once you reach them.

    I want to thank you for putting this out there. I see now I'm not the only one. I have lost weight in the past and put it back on because of the sagging. I have come to the conclision that I waould rather have saggy skin and be healthy. At least now I know to give it time keep hydrated and do weight training.!!!

    Thank you everyone for the advice!! Wish I would have gotten it along time ago!:blushing:

    In due time. Just keep picking up the weights and building back elasticity. Lots of water!

    Fun fact; Skin is the largest organ for the body =D that being said I believe a lot of people are right, you need to tone and strengthen your muscles to even out your arms. And Super Kudos for losing SO much weight! Great inspiration!
