This hands-off approach is…

The bottom of my belly is somewhat wrinkly. For as much weight as I've lost though, I don't have as much loose skin as I would have anticipated having.

No surgery or specific food program. I changed my habits. I never used to eat breakfast or lunch. By the time dinner came, I would eat basically from the time I got home from work until bed. Weekends were also a free-for-all. When I started introducing breakfast/lunch, I found I ate a lot less in the evening and that…
