body fat & exercise?
I know that the body has a 'protective layer of fat' that you cannot get rid of. After weightloss is this layer thicker in spots? I have been trying to tighten up areas on my body and they do not seem to get any tighter. I know there is lax skin, but I would think that working/building the muscles would help. I have problems mainly with my butt and hips. I run everyday so it should be nice and firm but it is not. Is this just excess fat/skin tissue or should I work harder? Is there anyway to tell for sure. I don't want to bulk up muscles but I dont like the flab. I am considering surgery, but I thought I could get it down to just skin first. But that doesn't seem to be happening.
Get your body fat tested by a trainer then go for a plastic surgery consult. Between the 2 you will find out if its skin or not - hard to tell my just reading words and not seeing you.

Wow AWESOME BODY! I see you have truely embraced the new lifestyle.
I was considering consulting with a trainer at my gym... so maybe I will do that. I have had TT/panni and am looking into BL right now. I know I dont want to do anything about my arms or thighs because i dont want to have the scars... but I cannot seem to get my butt any firmer... I know my tummy is muscular but there is still a bit of lax skin due to some weightloss since TT. I have never actually used weights and am beginning a weight circuit class next week. I will talk to one of the trainers and see what they can suggest.
