any thoughts on this?

I know it's too early to tell what my body will look like in the end, but I could use some advice.

I am noticing that the part of my stomach below my below my belly button into my private parts is looking really good, nearly flat and smooth. The part from belly button up on the other hand is still bulging, i'm noticing my skin getting a little wrinkly. I still have a little over 100 more pounds to lose, what do you guys suggest I start doing to work that part of my tummy? It's always been where I carry the most weight and seems to be the part that's giving me issues now. I thought that once I reach goal, this part of my belly will definately go down, but what can I do now to start helping it out.

I'm hoping to avoid plastic surgery and live what what I got. I know being well over 200 pounds overweight and overweight all my life, i'm not expecting a miracle of skin shrinkage to happen, but i want to help it out as much as i can. any suggestions?

my exercise routine right now is a biggest loser dvd and walking.

Thanks!

Not much you can do about loose skin. It is what it is.

Contrary to what you read online or you may have heard, there are no exercises that increase the elasticity of skin.

I have a power plate that I have used ever since I got banded. I have had a FTT but I am sure that the vibration of the plate combined with the exercises that you perform have helped with skin retraction elswhere on my body. HTH

I think that fat puff above the belly button is fat that has slid down from my boobs! LOL! I have it too and I hate it. There's no exercise for it though...I am thinking it will go when all the fat is gone but right now I am hating it!
