Down to Goal-Yay!

I am 60 years old, 5'2,I started on MFP last year and to date I've lost 15 lbs....started at 132- to date at 117! I went from a size 6 to a size 2 and had to go and buy new bras- one size down....
MFP has helped me to really see what I was eating, and in this past summer I cut out all meats....so just fish, grains, veggies and beans for me. I feel much better.
My ONLY complaint is loose skin in my tummy- so unflattering! How do I get rid of that? I'm not interviewing for Sports Illustrated (ha) just want to look good along with feeling good

Hi I am your age ok 61 now. and height. I started at about the same weight also. Give it some time to tighten up. Usually within a year or so things improve to some degree. It may or may not totally improve but it's possible. I love my 2 pc bathing suits so I tend to maintain on the lower end. Congrats on your loss. It's tough for us petites for sure. This is probably about as good as mine will get about 2 yrs into maintaining. The lose skin and sagging stuff I think happens to all of us about this age regardless of weight. I don't think surgery is really a good option personally.

Thanks for the support summersiier....you look fabulous!! I can see that you must do toning exercise- you have some good ab muscles

.....I was using the weights in the beginning but lost interest and do yoga now. In the summer I walk a lot and golf, but hoping those terrible wrinkles go away to some degree. Still hanging on...
