Extra skin....

I am posting this double, here and the "Light-Weights" board.... I was wanting to get a general idea of how much skin people find themselves with once they've gotten to goal starting as a 'light-weight'. I know my results will be all my own, but getting an average or just getting personal accounts would be nice. I am 5'4" 235lbs and carry the majority of my weight around my waist and hips. I am 25 years old and I have tanned a handful of times in my life. I just want a general idea, I know results WILL vary and not to compare, thank you.

I'm 5'10, at my heighest I was 263 lbs. I've been big pretty much my whole life. I've lost 100 lbs, and the only place I have noticeable skin is around my belly and theighs. But, it's nothing that can't be pushed around or hidden. I wear all sorts of clothes, and it's never a problem. I don't really have wings or skin anywhere except my belly and theighs. So.. it's all pretty manageable, and though I've thought about plastics on it... I've come to the conclusion that i can live with what I've got... but hey, if anyone ever throws some free plastic my way, I'm not saying I won't take them up, it's just not a big problem for me. I'd rather have the skin than the fat ANY DAY!

I'm 5'9" and I've lost 151 lbs in 6 months so far and I have excess skin pretty much everywhere where it was expected (under arms, belly, thighs). When I was 365 lbs, I had fat pretty much everywhere on my body, so I guess that why I have excess skin everywhere.

I'm 25 and started at 5'6 and 296lbs. I've lost 130+ and the only place I have some excess skin is on my stomach. It's really not that bad though. It justs looks like I'm chubby around my waist. My thighs were getting loose at first, but seemed to firm up as the months went on. I'm hoping my stomach does the same thing.

i'm about 5'4, started at 248lbs, am 23 years old, and now weigh 135lbs. I am unlike everyone else, because i have a lot of skin on my stomach, arms, breasts, and thighs. i am scheduled for plastics in december for a lower body lift, and possible breast lift with augmentation (just to fill me back out). i originally thought id need only a tummy tuck, but i saw 2 different plastic surgeons *****commended the body lift b/c i have a "shelf" of extra skin that goes almost completely around my body.
