    A lot of this is going to come down to age and genetics.

    I've lost around 32 lbs now and whilst being a healthy weight, my tummy is VERY wobbly! I've started lifting heavy to try and help tighten things up. I do use a daily 'firming lotion' which contains elastine (SP!) and Vitamin E - I don't think this is going to help enormously or much at all but I've noticed a little less 'crinklyness' in the area.

    I would suggest you keep doing what you're doing (congratulations on the amazing loss!), incorporate some exercise if you can (It always helps!) and focus on how far you've come and how fabulous you undoubtedly look. :)

    Thank you pinkpixiexox, congrats to u aswel, and may i say was nice to get a reply of encouragement. Started some exercises but with bad knees its not easy but will keep at it. Also started vitamin E tablets but after a month havent noticed much difference.
    Thanks again and good luck :)
