I do. I hate it. I look pretty good (in my eyes) with clothes on. But when I undress - it is one hot mess, I tell ya. lol. I know it is getting better, as I take my measurements weekly - but it still sucks.

I have it, and I will have plastics when I'm done. I'm not going to hide anymore once I get thin. I'm not saying, I need to be able to wear a 2 piece suit, but for me being able to wear a shirt tucked in with a belt would be nice.

You can't take care of them, if you don't take care of you!!

I have it on my arms,inner thighs and my stomach. I also have it on my boobs yes boobs. I totally hate it. I know I was gonna have this problem due to me being really over weight. I am trying to become comfortable with it. I know it will take time but I will be fine.

My skin varies by location - where I had the most fat, I have the most loose skin - belly, upper thighs. While my face was very full, I'm lucky that I do not have loose neck skin.

Skin comes down to a few factors - genetics, how big you were, and how long you were big. I was really big for a long time, so not surprising that I now have saggy baggy skin.

Loose skin beats fat filled skin any day of the week!

Plenty. No avoiding it. My new nemisis is with the last 10 or so pounds lost I have these nasty skin rolls on the back. ugh. The abdomen is just terrible, some thigh issues. Noticed that where I shave the armpits the bottom of that area now nearly sits at my waist. The sagging skin on my back could be confused for a butt. Ya know what though- it is still way better than being super fat.

One of the nurses at the hospital where I had my surgery told my friend that she LOVES her bat wings...they remind her where she came from...plus if she flaps them hard enough, she could get herself to the beach and back!!
