    Exercise, eat well, plenty of fluids. I have lost over 190 pounds n while yes I do have excess skin I think my excess helps me. I have done resistance work 2-3 times a week for over 3 years I also believe boxing classes where they overload the arms help too :)

    I meant I don't think my excess skin is too bad especially considering how much weight I have lost .

    I want to add that some of us can not get a perfect tummy back after babies or weight loss. It does depend on how much loose skin you have...if it is too much, surgery is require, but if it is a little bit there are some things to make the appearance better. These are some things that have helped.

    As I have lost the fat in my belly (from having babies) it does not look like I have as much loose skin. Also, I do not have that cellulite look under my tummy skin like I had before. So, losing the fat in your tummy, will help somewhat.

    Coconut oil. Google it. I eat VCO and I rub the cheaper coconut oil on my skin. My skin is softer and so much prettier...so this has help the appearance.

    Dry brushing. Google it, but it suppose to release toxins from the skin and help the skin to regenerate.

    I had a female body builder (a mom of 3) suggest the coconut oil and the dry brushing. I can tell that I look better. Again, I have lost weight, but this past spring break, I wore a tiny bikini and was not embarrassed. My skin is not perfect, but it is better.

    I do planks and ab vacuums. This works your transverse abs, so this can pull in your tummy to make it look better.

    You can still see that my tummy looks wrinkly, but it looks better than it did in January. Sorry for the blurriness.
