    First, congratulations! 6 years ago I lost 50 lbs over the course of a year, in a great, healthy way, lots of exercise. I felt terrific except my boobs looked like deflated balloons. Stomach too. Luckily I didn't have stretch marks. I lifted weights, wore comfy bras, and kept the weight off for quite a few years. After another year or so the skin did tighten up gradually, (and I was well over 40!). Especially at your young age, if you can stabilize yourself at a good weight your body will adjust. It takes time. Use good lotions, keep the skin supple.
    Over the past 3 years I put some of the weight back on but am now kicking my heels in again.

    i don't get boobs. i lost 51 lbs in 6 months and mine were fine.

    BTW the earlier thread about almond oil. love that too. get mine at l'occitane. smells yum, feels great.

    Press ups work for mine! (I use pressup bars)

    My boobs have always been big, at my biggest I was a 42E but now at 33 years old and 34 lbs lighter (and still going) I am down to a rather deflated 36E, they just sort hang there like sad deflated puppies.

    I am going to get to a weight I am comfortable at, maybe another 2 stone, and then reassess and if I have to go under the knife to 'finish' the product and get rid of saggy bits etc then I will. I refuse to work so hard to lose weight just to be disgusted with whats left!

    Almond oil and wheat germ oil (cold pressed versions are the best) are good for toning skin, especially boobs tissue. I like best almond oil because I don't like the wheat germ oil smell (it's just... that cereal farm smell, it's not bad, but it's not my style, even if the smell dissapears quickly).

    I also recommend arm weight training. Ok, some girls may not enjoy heavy lift training (I know I don't, and I hate push-ups also - the exercise, not the bra :laugh: )... but arm weight training with small weights (1 lbs, 1.5 lbs, 2 lbs) can make your arms and boobs look less saggy as you lose. Personally I felt even small arm workouts like this helped (if done regulary): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WwK9lWwxnw and I also love some workouts from the Biggest Loser DVDs that incorporate dumbbells.

    It's just what I know it worked for me, as I struggle here like others with the `side effects` of losing weight.

    for a long time, I really didn't like doing any upper body weight training. I did it once in awhile, to work on my arm muscles.
    even more rarely, I'd do some girl push ups. Until recently, I really don't remember working my pectoral muscles enough
    to feel it either while I'm doing the exercise, or be sore after. However, now I love doing upper body too. I will probably never be obsessed about it like my lower body training, but if you learn to work the muscle properly, it can be an enjoyable sensation.
    it's very weird, but I say, there can not be too much pectoral stimulation lol.

    Of course, anytime you're doing strength training, make sure you push your self during the workout, but rest days are really important. You build and repair the muscles during the rest period, not during the workout. If we could repair during the workout, we'd all be self healing superwomen :)
