    I totally know how you feel! Clothes can hide a MULTITUDE of sins! Like you, I keep being told to be patient... that it can take up to 2 years for skin to "resize", but I am no spring chicken, and fear that my skin is what it is.

    You look beautiful by the way!

    Oh yes I definitely feel this way sometimes, but I will say you look fantastic. I usually take good long look at myself in the mirror, remind myself of how far I've come, and then say "there's not a DAMN thing wrong with me! yes, there's room for improvement, but there's nothing "wrong" with the way I look!" ;)

    CONGRATULATIONS!!! You look wonderful. I know the feeling of not looking good without clothes, but you know what? I'm so very thankful and grateful for where I am now. How did you look without clothes on before you started this journey? You are looking wonderful. I know we all strive to look and feel better, and I'm not finish yet. But be thankful:bigsmile:

    I think you look fantastic, and I bet I can count on one hand the number of people that I know who are happy with what's under their clothes. It's human nature, we're all self-critical!
    Be proud of your weight loss, you look great and I/anyone would never have known about your insecurities if you hadn't flagged them up, for all we knew there was a washboard stomach under there :smile:
    Keep smiling, you earned it!

    I bet most people who would see us naked would have their own insecurities or problems. I think everyone is flawed and focuses on their most negative aspects.
    Thanks goodness for push up bras (and padded for me)! As far as extra skin goes hopefully over time that will shrink to your size. I know that is one reason they say to lose weight slowly, so your frame and skin have time to catch up.


    You look amazing, good job!

    I get it - It's important to love yourself...even naked. Have you noticed how amazing your collar bones are? And look how your neck has lengthened. I bet you are pretty proud of how your arms have transformed too. I'm sure you can find a number of amazing features on your naked body that you just love. The rest you'll need to accept. Once you love and accept yourself, the self-confidence will make you feel beautiful. We all see it. You should too.

    You look hot! Good for you! Most people don't like how they look naked, and its even worse if your comparing yourself to models etc. They have photoshop, and glamour editing...the mirror doesn't do all of that.

    Amazing job you look great....

    Yes their is a temporary downside to large weight loss and that is skin especially saggy one. Their is no immediate cure and I would not opt for surgery but there are ways to help speed up the recovery process.

    Drink water always stay hydrated your skin will love it.
    Eat your veggies this helps tons trust me.
    Some topical creams do help. I've tried some but found the best to be "Tepezcohuite" it helped with stretch marks a lot and also with skin elasticity. It's no magic pomade but it helps the skin a lot.
    Fill up with muscle a bit, sometimes this helps.

    It will take a year or two for the skin to return to it's normal elastic state, patience is the key..

    I'm so sorry I just have to share . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    With the weight that I lost, currently 91lb and 9lb away from goal, I look at myself (eeeek naked) in the mirror and dispair.
    My skin is saggy, my boobs feel like their emptying and I dont feel sexy at all.

    I'm praying, hoping, pleading that all this weight training and exercise will help with my body shape and image and self confidence.

    When living day to day and looking in the mirror (eeeek naked) I fell like my 'old' self. Frumpy and ugly and I hate it.

    But then I see a photo of me now and I find it hard to believe that this is me?!?!

    . . . . . I see the picture of me and I feel slim and sexy and amazing and then I just think its a lie . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .


    IF only they saw me naked!!!!!!! does anyone else feel like this??? Its really knocking my self confidence!

    You must be joking. You are gorgeous! I think most folks are a bit self conscious about our (eeekk :-) naked bodies, I know I am. But my opinion is, you look fabulous. Kudos to you for all of your hard work!
