Anyone who lost 100 lbs want to share progress pics?

I'm just curious to see what that kind of drastic change looks like, ESP for a girl in the stomach area. I'm scared that even when I lose all the weight I won't be able to wear bikinis because of stretch marks and loose skin. I've lost 100 lbs so far but I'm still not toned and at least 20-30 lbs from my ultimate goal.

Anyone in their mid-twenties, done with losing a drastic amount of weight, have progress pics that show abs? Thanks in advance guys!

    Started on MFP in September 2010. I'm 5'10" I was 294 at my heaviest, 280 when I started on here, and reached my initial goal weight of 180 in about 10 months.
    Since then, I've shed quite a bit more weight, although I was perfectly healthy at that initial goal.
    I had 56% Body Fat (EEEEEEEEEK!) at my heaviest and am at about 22% now:
    I'm now 161 but am working on gaining some muscle so that may go up a bit and I'm okay with that.
    Then:

    Your progress pictures always give me so much hope, so thank you for being so open, and willing to share!
    Also I think you look fantastic, stretchmarks and all!!

    Hey!! I feel the same about losing over 100lbs. I was nervous about the loose skin and stretch marks. But honestly, I embrace my stretch marks I call them my "Journey Marks" .....the loose skin is hard to avoid, do a lot of weigh training, sit ups, crunches.....I do a lot of standing trunk rotations and it's really improved my body shape. :-)

    I went from 220 lbs down to a current 112lbs(5'3) I am 108 lbs lighter at nearly 40 years old than I was in my 20's. I dont have any tummy pics because my tummy is an awful sight but only people who know my story have a clue! I would love to have excess skin removed but financially it isnt an option right now. I believe I'd need a lower body lift since ive lost more than 15 inches in my waist alone. There is a before pic on my profile page if youd like to take a look. :) Congrats on your continued success!
