Some do. It's not in the cards for me...so I just choose clothes that cover the problem areas.

I really believe in lifting weights. It has helped fill out my arms and legs. I also have worked on my abs, so although I have a lot of skin, there isn't too much fat under that, and the strong abs help me hold my tummy in all the time.

Being 36, I am really hoping I can have plastics once I have maintained goal for a while. Knowing that most folks melt from the top down, I know I will have problem areas that will be distracting. I am looking at a panni (if needed), tummy tuck, breast lift and poss augmentation, and whatever else may be needed. Now I am not made of money so this will be a "Picasso in Progress" for many years!

I will be waiting to see how I end up. I looked really bad a couple of months ago, but my arms and thighs are filling out with some much-needed muscle. It is a big expense, and therefore, not a quick decision for me. Spanx does wonders for the tummy, and I'm limited to 3/4 length sleeves, but that's not too bad.

I will have to do something with the boobs....they are just skin now and have no definition at all. It is even hard to find a bra that fits, as they just sit there a wrinkled mess! My stomach has extra skin, but not hanging, but wrinkled. I am 8 months out and I am planning on doing something with the boobs and to get my stomach flat. I did have four kids, so there is skin there that has to be removed. I work out 2 hours a day, but the skin on my legs looks sagging also above my knees. BIG legs are a curse in my family, so needless to say they are what they are. The boobs though are disgusting....they really are.
