5 pounds from goal. My stomach is my nemesis!! Pic included.
I don't plan on plastics. I can cover the slight sag with a bikini bottom, undies, and shorts. But I know it's there. The rest of my skin snapped back. Some of this could be from my C-section in late 2010. Maybe exercise will help a little. Overall, I can't really complain. Thoughts? And btw...I'm down to an size 8. Crazy.....
Surgery weight: 232 lbs. / Goal: 145 lbs. Height: 5'5" Fat? Ain't nobody got time for that.
You look great! Your youth is working for you I can see. I wish I had taken a picture before I had my panni removed. It hung down over my vay jay jay. I had a panni ten years ago and I have never regretted it. Even after regaining 100 lbs and then losing 115 lbs it bounced right back. The only weird thing is when I regained the weight it went to my upper stomach, the lower stomach beneath the belly button stayed flat, making me look really bizarre. I wish I had a picture of that, too.
Anyway, I would think that it will continue to improve over time. It probably is more from pregnancy and the c section instead of just the weight. I know that is what helped cause my stomach issues.

Wow you look great - Congrats!! i also do not plan on plastics, so I hope my skin will bounce back - so far its just jiggling :) I also find my stomach my nemesis - but if I come close to looking like this I will not complain. I have the tummy skirt that is a residue from my 3 c-sections (birthed 4). What about your arms, I find this is the area that is making me cringe. 3 1/2 month since surgery, very pleased so far.

You would probably cry if you had mine Lol.
Have you considered cool sculpting? It is only about 1500$ and gets rid of those nagging final bits of fat in the stomach area. Everyone I know who has had it LOVED it, and it really does work!
Wasn't your c-section very low at the top of your pubic area? That is where mine was cut.
You look AWESOME!! I would love to be 5 lbs away!
