How does lose skin affect your self confidence? In clothes that sit properly I have a relatively okay figure, but what people don't realize is under my clothes is a hot mess of stretch marks and lose skin.
I continually get well "tone more and it'll tighten up". No. it will not. I could make a small child from the Lose skin on my abdomen.
I don't necessarily want drastic measures done, nor can I afford a tummy tuck. I've put in a lot of hard work and just want to feel, beautiful, attractive and sexy. How does everyone else deal with the lose skin blues?

    I've lost about 50 pounds but I'm having a hard time telling what is loose skin and what is still fat. I know there is some loose skin there but I feel very confident with clothes on. Naked, not so much, but I feel better and healthier all the way around so I'll take it.

    Have a read of this thread. It is all about loose skin, very down to earth and very inspirational.

    Google Ashley Black's fascia blaster, or check out her insta:https://instagram.com/p/BHXgPSpA85W/ I lost 57 kg/125 lb (almost half my weight) got to my goal weight and had a small amount of excess skin and bat wings. I regained 20kg (which is why I joined up here!) and I noticed that even when I regained my bits of skin didn't re-fill, they stayed the same. I wanted to know why, which led me to research and I came across the references to the skin not attaching to the fascia properly with weight loss. I ended up buying the fascia blaster and It has worked really well on the loose skin, I no longer have it. But not so good on my batwings, I still have those. I just remember to not gesture with my arms to much in public and enjoy being able to fit into nice clothes and walk easily.

    I am very self conscious about my loose skin!!!y body fat % is low but I still look like I have a tummy because of the skin. For a couple of months I have been using cocoa butter and a waist trainer. There is a small improvement so far.
