Hey there tommietopcat! There was a woman here when I first started my journey who said that it took her 2 years to get to her goal. As I recall, she had less than 100 pounds to lose. She said that she had NO skin issues at all. Maybe she was young, never had children, wasn't obese for many years, had good genes, or whatever. I don't know what her circumstances were, but I wish I were in her boat!!

I, on the other hand, had under 100 pounds to lose and am a member of the Slow Losers Club. I "proudly own a saggy, baggy body in all the usual places. Bummer. For me right now, it's roll it up and tuck it in. So sad, but I'll take it...for now.

Blessings,

I went from 249 to my current 133..
Sagging skin is my calling card. Arms, legs, budda belly, not to mention the 34D Extra Long boobs.
Your best bet is a mix of cardio and strength training to build muscle and mask skin issues. There are also the usual factors: age, starting weight, genes, and luck.
But.
I'll take the sagging skin and health over the morbid obesity any day.

I am down 60 last I checked and yes theres skin. , The arms show it, the belly isnt terribly bad yet but the place I hate it the most, is my inner thighs!!!!!!
I have 30 more to go..I have a feeling it wil be in the belly area..we will seee. I am rocking a 16 jeans now, not 16W either! Still in a XLG top though.the girls wanna hang around....no pun intended...lol
I can live with the skin EXCEPT the inner thigh. It will have to go asap..just because its unslightly to me.

i can't say for me but I have seen pictures of folks that lost more than me and they look good with out any surgery, I was impressed.

I haven't had my surgery yet but already have saggy skin all over my body. I'm scared of it getting worse too but I'm married and have all the kids I will ever carry inside my body so I don't need to impress anyone (I pretty much have one of the worlds best husbands lol) but I will be looking in to getting it removed. My surgeon suggests giving it at least one year of maintanance with your weight before having it looked at because it can shrink a little on its own in that time. Also some insurances will pay for skin removal if it is deemed medically necessary :)

Oh. And I just did a video on youtube that shows all my baggy skin if you want to check it out.... casbbfz is me :)

I'm having surgery in 23 hours and my husband says he will miss my boobs haha I told him thats the only part on me thats big that I like

I have lost 150lbs so far I started at 298. I don't have horrible skin issues. Not like I feared I would. My worse spot is my butt. Nothing odder then driving around a corner and sliding off your own hiney :)

My boobs are saggy but im old they are suposto be by now. lol Just wish I could find a bra with a small band and cups big enough for my family inhearatience.

Don't worry though seriously I would bet you find it to not be as bad as you immagination wants you to anticipate
