I went from 273 down to 155 and the only extra skin I have is a little bit in my lower abdomen. Other than that, everything went right back to normal.

Great Question! I'd love to see some responses to this. I'm down nearly 50lbs in 5months...from 264 to now 215 and i haven't noticed any extra or loose skin....yet! but, i'm very curious as to how much ppl lost before they started noticing and how many haven't had any problems w/loose skin at all.

thanks for starting this thread, it should be interesting to see the comments.

I went from 245 to 160 and I just have some crepiness on the belly, no hanging, bulging skin. No washboard abs either, but fine clothed and even showable in a bikini, just not a gorgeous flat young stomach. I have had 3 babies, one of which was a caesarean so I'm counting myself pretty lucky.

My thighs are rather wobbly and loose, but they were BEFORE I gained weight and got fat. I just have flabby thighs, so does my mum, so do both my sisters. Which is why my belly has recovered well - I never got particularly fat there in the first place.

Arms are fine, boobs are a disaster, again, that's more genetics than weight loss, they werent great when I was 16, now that I'm 40 and have fed 3 babies for about 6 years, they're what you'd expect but easy fixed!
