Questions for sleevers further out

Hi All, I was wondering about other 50 something sleevers who are a year or more out. Did any of your skin bounce back? How far out were you when you reached the point that any snapping back that may occur is done snapping?

I was pretty lucky that I don't have very much skin. I have some on my arms and no, it's not snapping back.

I was lucky to not be extremely obsese to start with, so I would also say my saggy skin is minimal. I have a little at my inner elbow, where the top of my arm meets my shoulder (also inner arm), the VERY top inner thigh area, and my tummy. My stomach is pretty flat, but yucky looking if I'm bending over from the waist, mostly from the stretch marks. My double chin has been replaced with a tiny turkey neck, and I can tell that my cheeks are more hollow looking.

That list sounds bad, but I just turned 50 and had several people I had just met think I was much younger, so I can't complain too much. I think at our age we can't expect much in the way of skin snapping back. The collagen is just not there. I'm not ruling out a face lift or fillers in the coming years. But I also know I need to be lifting weights to gain some of the muscle mass back that I lost - especially in my arms.

Thanks. I expected my arms and stomach but am shocked about how much loose skin on my thighs and butt.

I'll be a year Dec 9, 2011: I have not lost anything for months but I started to "rearrange" my figure & tighten my skin by using the SONIC VIBRATION Therapy System. Google it as it has many different benefits...a few being metabolism helper, exercise/aerobic benefit, bone strengthening, ect. My doctor has one in her office with oxygen therapy but gyms have it also. GOOGLE IT, find one, and TRY IT = I am a believer!

Hi, I'm 50 and 2 years out now. I have loose skin, but it's not that bad. . .not bad enough for me to worry about it. . . I figure I'll never be runway material or wear a bikini ever again, so whatever. . . as long as i look good in my clothing and my hubbie and kids love me that is all that really matters to me. Good luck!
