OK, the good news is that I have lost 90 lbs. |
|
The bad news is that my gut looks like a big deflated balloon. I am not sure this is a problem I can fix with sit-ups. And I can't afford plastic surgery.
Any suggestions?

that's what happens when you lose a lot of weight.
When I lost all my weight I was self conscious about it, but then I realized I had been through a battle.... and the lose skin was my battle scar. I wear it w/ pride (not that I expose it freely all over, but, you know... I don't let it worry me. It's a sign I'm winning the war).
Congratulations to you!

If you don't want to answer, that's cool.

it's starting to creep back on though, and I need to get a grip on that.

Congrats! :bounce: Losing weight is very hard. You should be very proud of yourself. It takes a lot of commitment and discipline to do it.
I have no suggestions for you but I just wanted to congratulate you on your success. :hi:

loose skin too and plastics are out of the question. I don't have a spare $30,000.00 or more just sitting around to spend.
No amount of exercise will take care of it for me either. So I live with it, dress nice, and don't wear a bikini! :rofl:
You did well!

I lost 168lbs. +/- 3lbs on any given day.

nothing will fix the skin though. Sorry.
I had my baby 2 years ago, and I was 15lbs over weight when I got preggers. At the end of my pregnancy I was 160 (I'm 4'11" btw) after the babe, I was 140. I'm now back to 115lbs, but the loose skin on me is never going to go away either. :( I live with it. No big deal, and like someone else said I just don't wear a bikini. My boobs bother me more that the skin on my belly though. I never really had 'em to begin with, and breastfeeding did a number on them. If I ever manage to get the money, those are the top of my list.

8. Did you try skin firming lotion? |
|
I'm not sure which ones are good, but it helped for my older sis after she lost weight.
Major congrats, btw!!
:woohoo:

9. Don't concern yourself about it. |
|
Yeah, it's nice to look all trim and sleek, but you've added many healthy years to your life. And I know you feel a 100% better. That's what is important.
Congratulation. That's a major accomplishment, one to be proud of. :thumbsup: You too, Miss Millie.

I plan to lose a hundred and I don't think it's possible to prepare for the extra skin, but I know it'll happen.
:yourock: You're an inspiration.
