Over 100 pound loss loose skin ?

Not personally, but my friend has lost and kept off more than 100lbs for over a year. She is getting a consult for a tummy tuck. She has had 2 c-sections, her apendix removed, and an entire ab muscle removed due to a tumour so there is no chance of muscles bouncing things back for her. She describes it as having a skirt of skin around her mid section. In the summer she has to worry about irritation and rashes in the skin folds. The folds really show when she wears things like dresses and light-weight fabrics.
From my perspective, her arms look saggy too and still havent bounced back so I think there is a good chance that you will encounter some saggy loose skin by the end.

She looks terrific because she is at a healthy size, but it is evident that she has lost a lot of weight and it wasnt kind to her.

Edited to say: We are both in our early 30's. Being younger doesnt guaruntee your skin will bounce back.

I've lost 96lbs in 13 months and im a 32yr old mother of 4. (Which includes a huge twins and 3c-sections) I started at 275lbs. I have a little loose skin on my arms and thighs, my belly still has a good solid 40lbs of fat on it. As someone else said, dont use that fear against yourself. I feel a million times better, loose skin and all! Good luck to you

Congratulations to all of you for being so honest with your journeys and incredible weight losses.

I've lost over 100lbs and had a baby along the way too. Strength training has by far had the biggest impact on my loose skin. I don't really have any on my arms, a little on the tops of my thighs and I have a small w shaped crease at the bottom of my tummy - but that is even going with time and lifting. I'm not sure it will ever go completely, but I can hide it in my underwear and no one can see it! For me, focusing on reducing my body fat % and lifting heavy has been the way to go

I'm 37, so definitely age difference. I have lost 86 lbs and have loose skin on my upper thighs and my arms (bat wings) - tummy is starting to get "wrinkly" too - but I've had 2 children as well, so that could be why the tummy is looking wrinkly. They say what doesn't go back after 2 years will not go back. I also strength train and drink water water water. Good luck - one thing you have on your side is age

32, had 3 kids, lost 92-ish pounds. Loose skin, yep, I got it. A little under my arms and a little in my thighs. I have a ton of loose skin on my tummy. I will have loose skin, I hated the fact for a long while but have gotten over it. Seriously, I have so much I want to do with my body and I will not let fear or weight hold me back any longer. I have always been overweight, even as a teenager, so my skin will probably never bounce back, as I am at my lowest weight right now and have loose skin. I still have another 38lbs to go too. Can it happen? Yes. Can you not have issues with it? Yes. Only way to know, is to lose that weight and see. Everyone is different.

Well when I was 22-24, I lost 120 lbs and I didn't have any loose skin.

Currently, I've lost about 60-65 lbs and I'm thinking besides a few light stretch marks, I'm not looking too shabby.

I also eat fairly healthy, don't smoke, don't drink much alcohol, drink a lot of water, and moisturize regularity.

I do have a pic, but I'm terrified to post my naked stomach all over the net lol

Way to go! I need to take some pics so I have some before and after of what my skin and body look like. There's no hiding my big ol' bat wings. They're definitely out there. I was telling some of my friends on Monday, I can't wait to wear a bikini and not look horrible in it with my skin hanging out everywhere. Right now, the only place I'll wear it is at my parents pool, because well, obviously, no one can see me there. The stretch marks don't bother me, because like many have mentioned, I'm a momma. Those marks are a joy. Unfortunately, I *do* smoke, and I desperately need to stop. That's my one horrible addiction, and I've got to quit. I'd like to end out 2014/begin 2015 smoke free.

Thanks . And awesome job as well! Good luck

i was at 562 in feb of 2013.
im 377 as of august 1st this year.
im 6'5'.

my excess skin is all around my gut, but its still too early say how much ill have, or if ill need to eventually chop it off later (LOL)

ive thought of this question more then once, i can only guestimate...maybe 30lbs for someone as big as me

dont worry about it too much, i doubt it will be a hundred lbs, just continue making progress. tighten ur arms (especially triceps) and drink alot of water.

I've lost 92 pounds, and I definitely have loose skin. I have it on my arms, my thighs, and my stomach. I have the standard apron, as well as a bunch of skin that hangs over my belly button now. I'm saving for surgery.
