    Wow!! I love looking at all of the before and after pictures. You ladies have inspired me and will be taking my own before shot, since I have only been at this for 2 weeks and I am down 2pounds.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Any success stories on how to avoid that hanging skin after loosing so much weight??

    Afraid not.

    Here's what my belly used to look like (granted, I was 16 in this pic but it was pretty flat before birthing 3 kids)
    01_age_16-131x300.jpg

    Me and my stretched out belly from pregnancy (237 pounds):
    07_preggo_3.jpeg

    Me IN CLOTHES now (136 pounds):
    medifast_after-225x300.jpg

    And what's leftover of my belly when the clothes come off (NASTY!!!!):
    10_front_down.jpg
    17_front_bent_over.jpg

    As you can see, there really is no hope for this belly. I could lose another 20 pounds and be a stick-woman at 115 pounds and I would still be stuck with this skin.

    My Tummy Tuck is scheduled for March 1. If you are interested in following my tummy tuck blog, you can find it here: http://mommystummytuck.com

    I'm 5'8 for the person that asked and thank you guys but I am not stretch mark/lose skin free AT ALL! The first picture was taken on a portable camera, the second on a webcam. Quality difference and the fact that my stretchmarks have faded means that you can't see them that clearly but here you go ladies, proof that they don't just disappear!

    I have bad lose skin on my stomach and arms as well - when I bend down, oh lord can you tell. Fortunately I'm quite lucky in that it's not so visible when standing up but I guess that's the price you pay after losing 70+ lbs!

    You all look fabulous ladies!
