How much extra does the excess skin weigh?

I have managed to lose just over 100 lbs in the past 15 months. Very proud of this fact, but I do have a large amount of excess skin. I was Stage 3 and Stage 4 obesity for the past 8-9 years....so I was very stretched out for lack of a better term. Made me start to wonder how much this extra skin is adding to my total weight. I am by no means rich so the skin is here to stay and I am slowly adjusting to that reality. But do I consider this excess skin weight when I think about a final healthy weight goal for myself? Wondering if other think about things like this. Any input?
Ultimately my goal is to stay healthy and make positive choices regardless of my final weight loss.... but how much do I adjust things to account for the abundance of extra skin.
