    Upload photos to photobucket, put the url of the photos between [ i m g ] and [ / i m g ]. No spaces between the letters and / in the bracket. Simply (IMG)urlhere(/IMG) but with square brackets.

    Everytime i do it comes up wrong, ive redone it 4 times each time they come up on weird rotations i havent set it as. Oh well! You can at least tilt your head to the side to save me trouble ;)

    Well its not all loose skin, so it should tone up some once you've lost those last few pounds. You may have a little saggy skin after its all said and done. Will tighten up some within 3 years I hear, especially since you're young.

    Continue to lose weight and it will improve a little I'd think. What has helped me with my tummy has been lifting heavy weights, eating at a moderate deficit and aiming to eat more protein. Heavy lifting is by far the thing that I believe has helped the most with my stomach area.

    Check out the pinned thread at the top of this forum - So you want a nice stomach - by usmcmp, its absolutely helped me

    Hi,
    I have the exact same problem. I started out at 181lbs and I'm now 141lbs. The skin has tightened up slightly but definitely not to the point I am happy with it lol.

    I've heard lifting is the best for the extra skin ...im a little lacking on the money front so I'm hoping next summer (and hopefully around my goal weight of around 120lbs) I will have enough money to join a gym and get a trainer to show me how to do this properly!

    Goodluck :)

    My lower stomach is a problem too. It doesn't sag a lot, but it's still too big and round :( I'm within 10-15 lbs of my goal weight and I feel like my stomach should be much smaller than it is. I read that pilates really helps with this area. I've tried pilates once and didn't like it (I only tried one session), but I hate my stomach even more, so I think I'll give pilates a try. Let us know whatever you decide to do and your results. I think a lot of us are interested in reducing our bellies - good luck!

    As you loose fat, some of that will go down, but you can't spot reduce. If not already, I would add strength training.
