    Exercise helps with loose skin. Unfortunately, I was very big since I was in about 2nd grade. It's gotten better with time. I'm 26, so I think that helps too. Still, it's a train-wreck under my clothes. I'm with the man I;m going to marry and he thinks I;m hot, so I guess that's all that matters, but to answer your question, yes. I have buckets of excess skin. The way I see it, before I looked bad clothed and naked. Now I look bad naked. That's a 50% improvement. Honestly I'm much happier this way and I would encourage anyone shying away from weight loss due to the skin, to keep going. I feel amazing.

    There is surgery to fix it, but I doubt I'll ever be able to afford it. That's ok though. I'm working on loving myself.

    Thank you for your open reply, glad to know what to expect :) Have just ordered up a barbell and dumbell set that I can add to as I get lighter and stronger and I can't thank you enough for your post as you have inspired me to do as you do :) xx

    So, what size clothes are you wearing now? And what size did you start out in?

    Thank you so much for your reply. 1500 is what I have my daily intake set up for to begin with and I will see how I do with that. Ive gotten down to 220 at one point and even then it was really difficult to keep losing so I can imagine that at 160 it would be extremely difficult. Again I greatly appreciate you getting back to me so quickly.

    Wow! The pictures say it all! I need to gain some weight now and I want it to be muscle rather than fat, so I've been contemplating the idea of strength training. I think you just convinced me. Thanks. ;-)

    Replying for routine and inspiration. Way to go girl! You're an inspiration. Goes to show dieting can make you slim, but weight training makes you H-O-T! Congrats and keep up the good work!

    Started at a size 20, dropped down to a size 8. Then I started lifting and stayed the same weight, but dropped down to a 4 (These are all US sizes)
