At what point during your weight loss did you first notice loose skin?

    I have always thought I just couldn't lose the fat in my stomach, but after talking to a bunch of people and looking at progress pics etc I've realized its loose skin. They say it can take up to two years for you to tighten the skin

    I have noticed a little myself. I jsut keep pushing forward and HOPE it goes back down! My stretched belly didnt go away much after I had my daughter and now that I am losing the "junk" under it and it is more noticable!

    I really started to notice it at about 80 lbs lost, but I had a lot to lose. At 180 lbs lost, it's pretty severe.

    I haven't experienced it yet, but my brother has lost 70 pounds and has loose skin on his stomach. He said if he loses 30 more pounds then his insurance will pay for surgery to fix it. After he told me that, I changed my calorie goal to lose only one pound per week. I hope that helps. I'm afraid that I will get it too, since my brother did and we share genetics.
