excess skin

[loving.life 110]

Will the extra skin tightened up any at all or will it stay like this? Mine isn't too bad due to only having 70# to shed but after losing 33 I can tell under my arms etc..

It depends on a lot of things - age, how long you've been overweight, how quick you lose, etc. Some people do amazingly well and don't have much loose skin. Others have a lot. Working out with weights will help tone muscles and may help the overall look but only time will tell if you end up w/loose skin.

Mine is just awful. I have lost 170 pounds now, have about 15 to my goal. My arms, thighs and stomach are the worse. My doc and surgeon have both said that I will be a good candidate for the stomach surgery and have a very good chance of having insurance pay for it. I work out with weights at least once a week. I can actually see the muscle definition under the baggy skin. I am hoping that it will get a bit better with time.
