Skin (an observation)

You have to have a sense of humor with all of this sometimes.  I was going through airport security recently and was being patted down by TSA.  I'm quite squishy and soft in places now, and the agent kept pressing my hip and finally asked "What's in that pocket?"  I replied--"That's no pocket, that's just me!"

when i hold my arms out, i can see a clear outline of my arm (even have some muscle definition been working them out like crazy) and then about the same size of extra skin hanging down. maybe with these wings i can fly :O *flaps arms

I gotta say I lucked out with the lose skin.  My chest and arms stayed surprisingly tight.  My stomach sags a little when I'm standing but I decided to some pushups the other day and my stomach wa****ting the floor way before it should have.  My thighs though overall are the absolute worst.  Thankfully though as a man my thighs are never seen in public and really by nobody except my wife.  

YES! So so true!! I have the dimples too.  And of course, the skin. Flappy, saggy, crepey.  And when I do any sort of higher impact exercise everything flaps around and slaps together.  YIKES! 

But you know what?  I will take it any day over where I have come from!  Also, at 53 and 98+ pounds lost I expected much, much worse in the skin hanging department. Plus I'm so dang happy to be ABLE to do exercise that I will take the slapping and flapping, for now.  I have more than 20 pounds left to go and I'm less than 9 months out so there will be more sagging and more toning still to come.  We will see where it all ends up... but I am saving up for plastics. :-) 

Thanks for the laugh, Peachpie!!

I will tell you don't look at the bad parts of yourself. I am sure you are beautiful. I wear three quarter sleeves and I wear swimsuits with a skirt.

I am sure you do not look like a hound dog. 

I feel like you may be uniquely qualified to say if someone does or does not look like a hound dog.  

Don't feel badly;  my upper arms are so flabby when I get out of the shower and towel my hair, I hear applause and I'm in the room alone. (bah dump dump)

I feel your pain. I have the same thing when I take a bath. Oh well we still look damn good.
