Really not a big deal. You should be proud and screw whoever does not appreciate it. That is a great accomplishment. (I went from 300 to 220 a year ago).

Get sugary? Didn't know sugar shrank skin. Lol
I know you meant surgery. I agree. Get it taken off if she's self conscious about it.

You do realize getting excess skin removed costs money right? Something I don't have alot of at the moment.

Thanks
I just started eating better and exercising more.
More vegetables,fruit,I don't eat red meats,I mostly eat chicken & drink lots of water.
I also take cinnamon supplement,to help with my metabolism.
Stay away from sweets,sodas,chips ect. It's a no brainer to know what's healthy and what's not. The thing that gets you is having the will power to turn away from "the good stuff"
There is also an app I use called "my fitness pal" it helps me keep track of my caloric intake each day.
On exercising I try to do at least an hour of cardio each day. I also do strength training.
Everyone is different,you just have to find what works for you. Good luck

Wow...I feel bad about not getting motivated to drop the 50ish I need to. The folds/loose skin are bothersome I imagine, but since you are thinking positively anyways, just consider them as a reminder not to slip into your pre-weight loss habits! I imagine I'll have loose skin, too, when I drop the weight I need to. Too bad elective surgery is so expensive

You are very young! It takes the skin 1 year to go back to normal.As young as you are absolutely no need for surgery.OLDER people 40+ and up probably would have to resort to that .

Not necessarily true.
I had a friend who lost over 100 pounds. And had loose skin on her arms removed when she was 21. Everyone is different. You do have a better chance when you're younger that some of the elastic properties of skin will help, but its doubtful it will take care of it completely.
I'm 25 and have loose skin that has never gotten tight again from simply being 40 pounds overweight nearly 4 years ago. Enough for me to want surgery? No. Enough for it to be noticeable, yes.

Good job OP!
Yea the skin sag sucks and stretch marks.
Went from 256 down to 155 been about a year at that now. Lotions/oils may help but yea just keeping hope the skin will tighten on its own. Lots of core workouts and keeping positive.
Keep up the good work

Thanks everyone
I still have more to lose. I want to at least get down to 115. I've started strength training and I'm gonna see if that helps. I'm trying to stay positive and thankful because I could still be that obese or have worse looking skin.

You are very young, BUT DEPENDING ON how long you have had the weight on, your only option maybe to have surgery for the lose skin, so if thats the case speak with some Plastic Surgeon's and see if they can work out a payment plan, as for the rest of the weight, go to my website
http://naturalweightlossthroughscience.weebly.com/ and my follow up site within that one on how genetics plays a role in losing weight, this is todays Pesonalised weight loss programs all based on science. If interested feel free to contact me through the site or at my profile
