Excess Skin Post! (3 pregnancies + losing 100 lbs) pics

Having three babies in the last 6 years, then a horrible spinal injury, and then losing 100 pounds, people ask me about excess skin all the time.

Surprisingly (to me) its my most asked question after "how did you do it." ( http://www.joyzyblog.com/my-story/ )

Well here it is. These photos are from the past 20 months. I started at 270 pounds, and now I have rested comfortably around 165 (give or take a few pounds in either direction) since July 2012. (I'm 5'8", 32 years old)

It's barely noticeable, but in those last 2 photos below, that bit over my belly button is finally getting smaller. I also have excess skin below my belly button, from hip to hip, and that part is always covered with clothing or bathing suit bottoms.

I don't have any excess skin on my arms. And there is a tiny bit on my inner thighs but not enough to bother me.

For the past 6 months I've just been doing 1) Running 6x/week 2) Strength training 1-2x/week 3) Not gorging myself on food, 4) Drinking a gallon of water/day.

SO. I do have excess skin but I guess it's maybe eventually going to shrink back??? Crossing fingers!
