I've got a little on my arms and legs, and a little on my lower abs/hip area... but not as bad as I thought I would. I still have 40ish pounds to go, so who knows what I'll look like when I'm done... but so far it's manageable.

I'll tell ya what does suck though: the quad-boobs! The last time I gave in and went bra shopping, it took me a week to find a bra that didn't make me look like I had extra boobies poking out the sides of my bra under my arms...

otherwise, not too bad.

I started out with LOTS of loose skin. However, the more I exercise, the tighter the skin becomes. I contemplated plastics, but I am glad I waited and tat my skin is cooperating, because I am not sure I could handle another surgery.

Now, my only complaint is with my inner thighs: I have some wrinkling.

Thanks for the post. I have wondered if time and exercise would make the loose skin better appearing. Thanks again.........Sharon

I think the results depend on how long you were overweight, how much you were overweight, genetics and luck. Honestly, if you've lost a whole lot of weight, no amount of jumping jacks is going to help.

My stomach is the worst. I carried (and still carry) most of my weight there. It's like a half empty bag of fat that just hangs from the top and bottom of my abdomen. It is bad. My thighs aren't great, but aren't horrible. Same with my arms (although they recently have started looking really bad as well).

It can be depressing, but it is what it is... I'll have plastics eventually.
