omgosh, I dont mind saying at all. my skin has not adjusted to the weight , not at all. my arms bother me the most, cause that is what people see. I would SERIOUSLY do the surgery in a heartbeat if I had the money, it is not something that my husband thinks we need to spend that kind of money on, even if we did have it ( which we dont) My girlfriends keep telling me to put a donation cup at work, :bigsmile:
regardless, it is a yucky hanging mess under my clothes, I will not sugarcoat it at all, cause too many people do sugarcoat it, I've seen posts all over the place about people asking about loose skin, and most reply " it will bounce back in time" if your lucky it will, but if you lose alot as I have, dont count on it. Count on it NOT, and be happy if it does!
I didnt have surgery to create a rapid weight loss, I followed the program HERE. I workout 5 times a week and have since the begining, weights, and cardio, I drink a gallon of water a day, ALL THOSE THINGS are things that you should do to help your skin bounce back. So I did it all right, why didnt it ? Because it had been stretched out for 20+ years. its not going back without surgery.

and I am 40 years old if anyone was wondering
Hope that wasnt harsh, it wasnt meant to be :flowerforyou:

I need some one to seriously close my mouth. I sat here open mouthed and just stared. Way to go. That's an awesome achievement. You are an inspiration proving that it can be done...

That's really awesome.

I got a new haircut, and lost a few more pounds since the last compare pic, so I thought I would post a new one!

YOU LOOK AMAZING!!! Thanks for the info on your skin. I'm 42 and noticing that even though I'm losing weight very slowly - my skin is not simply bouncing back. At all. I currently find the soft skin on my stomach a happy reminder of how far I've come, but that won't last much longer I fear! My arms are what worry me the most- I keep wondering if compression sleeves might not help?

Thanks for sharing your success!

Any social impacts you'd care to share? Spouse/friends reaction or challenges with your amazing transformation?

I can't... I mean... I just... WOW!!! :looks back a picture: Woooooowowowowow! The first shot looks like your mother!! I hear you one th hanging skin part. I've had two kids, both c-sections. I'm super short so I had nowhere to grow but OUT! They weren't small babies either( 7lbs 4oz and 8lbs 6oz). My lovely little ones have resulted in fistfulls of skin overhang and I imagine as I lose weight it will get worse... But who cares!!! You can cover up hangy skin! You look frigging amazing! Congratulations!
