    I just wanted to say THANK you for that suggestion! I never even thought about wraps.....all I was thinking was surgery and I really did not want to do that :) So thank you again!!

    To answer your question with complete honesty...once the skin is so stretched out it can not and will not bounce back. My suggestion: Once you hit your goal weight look into abdomnoplasty. In that procedure they removed excess skin.

    remember all of these ideas should start with In MY OPINION:laugh:

    besides eating and exercise, it totally depends on a persons age and genetic makeup.

    She isn't super big and is fairly young...if she works hard she has a high potential of reaching success.

    Good thing nobody told my skin that. I'm nowhere near being a candidate for abdominoplasty. A boob job, maybe, but not a tummy tuck. And yeah, my belly did look a lot like the OP's at the same weight. True, she started out heavier than I did, but less than 20 pounds, and I'm more than 3 times her age.

    Wow......"once the skin is so stretched out it can not and will not bounce back". Guess I'm the exception to THAT rule too. I seem to be the exception to what LOTS of people say on MFP. No two people are alike. I've had 3 kids, all c-sections. I'm 5'1 and gained more than 50 pounds with each. Joined mfp a little over a month ago. Down to 113......would like to lose a little more, but I don't see a tummy tuck in my future.

    These are wraps you can do at home :) No spa needed and they are WAY cheaper then 100-300$- more around $60 for 4 of them :) It's nice that they aren't only available at spas now!

    Could you send me the info about these wraps too? Thanks!

    I wear this:

    http://www.walmart.com/ip/Gold-s-Gym-Waist-Trimmer-Belt/12167842

    for EVERY SINGLE WORKOUT.

    Not only does it support my belly while I walk/run/elliptical (which if you have a bit of an overhanging belly - the jiggle/flop of it can be kind of uncomfortable) but it definitely helps with the slimming. I definitely see some results. It helps me keep better posture as well. Obviously I know you can't pick and choose where you lose fat from and which areas slim down faster than others...but in my own opinion and my own experience...I swear by this thing.

    Here's my blog entry after wearing it for 10 days...you may not be able to see MUCH difference...but I do...and I feel a difference:

    Does this make you sweat a lot? I have been thinking of getting something to help with my posture since I sit all day but I don't want to be sweaty too.
