Excess Skin

Before I joined MFP, I had lost around 60 pounds, and naturally, I have some excess skin now in my tummy area. I know some people need surgery to remove/tighten this....but mine is such a small amount that this is something I wouldn't consider. It's nothing I can't live with, but it does make me a little self conscious. Can this be tightened though exercise and toning since it's a small amount, or is some procedure the only option?

    give it time. the number thrown around here often is that it can take up to 2 years for your skin to "snap back".

    Make sure you are involved in a good lifting program, and like the above person said, give it time.
