Loose skin driving me crazy



Recommended Posts

As long as I was fat, I was hard as a rock. Now that I have lost 61 lbs I have turned flabby. I wave goodby to someone and am apt to get injured by the flapping skin on my upper arms. I am sure I am not the only one with this problem. Those of you who have lost a lot of weight, will this ever get firm again. I am going to a gym, lifting weights and doing cardio several times a week, but I seem to just be getting more like Jello every day. Please tell me there is hope in the end.

I'm 56, so I don't expect anything to be firm again, LMAO. That's one of the reason's I really don't care if I lose any more weight or not.

The only thing worse than looking at fat, is looking at loose skin :omg: .

The wings under the arms I figure are a combination of age and loss of weight, but the cheeks (on my face) sagging, yuk. The fat use to keep all the wrinkles ironed out. :o

THATS FOR SURE ON THE FACE WRINKLES, Will not look too closely in the mirror anymore. I just don't think some places are going to firm up like they used to:

Arms haven't

I KNEW the boobs wouldn't

Butt not so much

upper thighs and inner thighs not so much

BUT I GOT SOME KICK A$$ CALF MUSCLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
