Thank you Tina and Congrats - you look great.

Not inappropriate at all. Ty 4 the pics. Do u plan on getting plastics? Keep up the good work!

Yes. I am saving money for plastics. 20-30 lbs have to be gone before that though.

A lot of plastic surgery web sites have before and after photos posted.

Should I be TURNED on by this??? Hey there....

Well i would not be turned on. I know you can see before and after pictures on plastic surgery sites. But you usualy dont know how much weight they lost in what amount of time.

I can only HOPE to look even half as good! Loose skin - smoosh skin- you look great!

Thank you sharing, I am curious how often you worked out to get to that point. It doesn't look as bad as I fear it will for me.

Id take some loose skin, over being fat any day! Good for you!

I would say on average 3 times a week. I do yoga and pilates and love it.

Do you mind sharing your age? I am 52, and expecting this as well. Plan on a tummy tuck later down the road, but I have a long way to go yet.

I am 31 but have been obese all my life.

thanks for posting. how is the skin on your arms and thighs? (if you dont mind me asking)

Thank you so much for your candor and sharing. I think you look incredible.

Can I ask if you have any children? Anyone I know that had children prior to surgery seemed to have a bigger problem with loose skin - just my own personal theory. This was my biggest fear after surgery. I'm 31 with no kids and we both had similar current/starting weight.

Hey. I had no children. I was always obese, even as a toddler... So my skin is very stretched. My highest weight was my starting weight 264 lbs and I am 5 4.

My thighs are kind of okay, but I worked on them a lot!!! My arms are really bad!!!

I can send you pictures if you want. I don't want to post my face here I am a secret sleever

I don't have kids either, I'm 38 and have very little loose skin, went from 210 and I'm at 148 right now and will lose another 12 lbs to my goal weight of 135. I put cream on after every shower and then oil on top of that, a lipid layer seals in the cream and prevents moisture loss. I think genetics really comes into play with this. I also lost under 100, maybe that too comes into play. You look really great, feel proud of yourself!
