EXCESS SKIN after losing 200 pounds
same here thanks chica 
She's from 339 to 200 as of 6/14/2012.. SOO proud of my bigbabygirl 
Thank you for posting this - very, very brave of you. And very helpful in mentally preparing myself for what is down at the end of this leg of the road. I will have lost 255 if/when I make it to goal, and only 100 lbs in, I can already see where things are going and starting a plastics fund.
Thank you Lithia,

Thank you for sharing. I feel the same way as you. I mean, I am early out and have a lot more to lose, but my belly, thighs and arms already aren't looking too happy, but I am happy. I am off diabetes and high bp med and I too, will take the loose skin :) You look awesome too. A size 12 seems like a far away dream, but seeing your pics and reading your posts give me hope :)
So far I've been lucky to avoid any disfiguring edema.....though when I was overweight and even now, I occasionally get really bad pitting edema in my legs for no apparant reason....then it goes away. During those times I feel like an elephant!
As it is I don't have shapely sexy legs.... but that's okay, as I never expected to have that..
It is important to me that I can mask the skin with clothes. If I had to go nekkid, I'd want the skin lopped off. Good thing that THAT type of societal shift isn't likely!

thanks for posting. i am a size 12 now (down from a 26/28!) and have major skin issues with my arms, inner thighs and belly. i am dreaming of plastic surgery!
the weird thing is that people say i am skinny now, and that i have a cute body, and i think to myself, "NO WAY!!!" i still feel fat because of this extra skin...tyring to get used to it...trying to think how much it weighs and if i got rid of it, I'd have clothes that fit my better!
