Wow girl! Nice job! You don't even look like you have saggy skin!?!?
Do you have any? Did you do anything to prevent it??
Yes I still have some but it has improved drastically over the last year. Just maintaining a smaller frame has allowed a good bit of it to retract. Last summer I was pretty sure I would never wear a bikini without a coverup. I had a a lot of loose skin especially on my face and my midsection. It was depressing but I decided I still looked better thin so I maintained and my skin bounced back. I still have some but most of the paper thin stretch mark riddled skin sits below my bikini line.
Hopefully the take away is: Even if you do not like everything about your results when you get to your goal, keep it up. It takes time for your body to redistribute the remaining skin and fat pockets, so a bit more patience will yield better results. :-)0 -
All I got to say is wow. Keep on rocking it girl.

I have marks as well, and to tell you the truth, i rather be thinner and have them and the loose skin, over being out of shape and heavy.
but....
at the hospital, the second time moms and the nursing staff swear by a mixture of coca butter, extra virgin coconut oil and retinol a. to be used twice a day on stretch marks over a few months will make them heal.0 -
