SKIN SKIN SKIN ...any ideas how to keep skin firm??

Happy 42nd Birthday loosing it!!

sooooo frustrated I have to loose 17 pounds before I can get scheduled for surgery So now I am going to start the opti fast early does anyone know how much weight can be loss on opti fast within a week

Been at a stall for over a week so ready to start back to my loosing!

Looking to cut sagging skin off at the pass. Have not had my surgery yet but I am looking for any advice to avoaid too much saggy skin.

I went to see my second plastic surgeon today. FOR SURE...if you have lost over 100 lbs. and you have over hang/skin issues I was told they cover it. the rest is considered cosmetic. Although, I am going to try my best to see if they will cover arms. Cross your fingers.

Weird, random discoveries: my stomach is actually rather trim and muscular (who'da thunk it?) -- it's just that there's this stupid layer of loose skin hiding it. Also, my legs are longer than I thought; I wear my pants too low (due to the same layer/roll of loose skin and fat).

Pre-surgery stall. UGH! So thankful for this site. Normally, by now I would have returned to my old eating habits, but I'm sticking to healthier choices, even as the scale decides to stay put. I know that I am loosing inches, as my clothes are getting looser. I took some initial measurements and will measure again just before I start my pre-op diet.

I'm waiting patiently to get out of the 200's. I want the scale to say 199 Ive been the same weight for 5 weeks. I'm loosing inches and hair but no weight. Not sure what to do? Ive increase my water and drinking 2 protein shakes a day.

Gym time..starting my pre-workout so my skin won't be saggy!

sleeved july 12th......i have hit a stall for about 3 weeks : ( but even though the scale isn't budging.. i finally fit into my old jeans that i have held on to size 10!! so apparently my body is loosing mass even though the darn scale isn't moving.. I'm very happy .. : )

I think I'm done. Size 8 before my tuck with a fair amount of skin.. I'm happy.. BMI 24.9! Wow.

I'm glad this is getting as much press as it is. Mom: Trayvon Martin was killed because of 'the color of his skin': http://t.co/4yYsOrKn

I was able to get into a pair of jean shorts from last year that I couldn't even sit down in because they were extremely tight and now they are sooooooo loose! I'm totally shocked and happy.

Good morning to me! Wow, I just so happened to look at my arms and I've notice... my batwings are disappearing!!! It IS true it takes a few years for the skin to snap back as much as it will. Patience is required here too. :-)) Just thought I'd give a little hope to others!

I am feeling better each day. People are now noticing the weight loss and I am happy. I am so close to my goal weight, I just can't wait to get there. I feel good at this weight but would love to loose a few more lbs.

Holy crap; I'm getting a six pack! Not beer, but a belly! Underneath the last remaining fat and the loose skin (I know, TMI!) there's definitely a solid center ridge of muscle forming. Once I get that tummy tuck it should be impressive!

Down 22 since leaving the hospital, can't wait for my jeans to get loose on me.

I'm about to come out of my skin, I am so anxious about Saturday!

Still loosing!!! YAY!!

AWESOME!!! Congrats on starting your training and loosing 5lbs... very nice.

I am finding myself heading into depression! I have not lost any more weight since I came home from the hospital which was 8/12. I am doing everything that I am supposed to do. I was under the impression that I would loose a couple of pounds every week. I'm starting to think I did all of this for nothing!
