Stretched, Saggy Skin -- Try This!

I just want to say before I tell you this that I am NOT a rep for this company -- it's me, Crosswind, who's been contemplating a tummy tuck lately because I hate my belly -- but I hated it before when I had my first kid and it just never snapped back. That was the first time I gained and lost 100 pounds and it was just hopeless.

Well so now I've been applying myself to this problem rather diligently. I do skin brushing, which probably helps, bit since I'm a woman and I put a fair amount of weight on the entire area between my waist and my knees it all looks like a war zone frankly.

But the tummy tuck thing I'm just not sure about. I'd love to have that perfect fantasy body but at the same time there are scars and risks and I keep asking myself if I want to trade marks for scars. Neither option is perfect but in the meantime, while I've been contemplating this, I ran across this stuff on Amazon called Mama Mio Skin Tight, which they sell to postpartum moms who are just confronting the shocking reality of the stretched out belly button.

This is stuff works. It's not perfect -- it won't make you look perfect -- but it does make a *difference* immediately. I am not sure what its real results are over time because I just got this stuff yesterday BUT -- if you just want to look a little bit better right now -- under your arms, lower belly, upper thigh -- really, there is a little bit of tightening and smoothing going on that is just enough to make me think that if there was some slow...even minor change that could occur over time it might be enough to decide to skip the extra surgery portion of the body makeover.

Seriously, try it -- you'll see what I'm saying. I think I paid 30 dollars on Amazon which is a lot, lot cheaper than surgery.

Good luck! :)

You've got my attention - gonna have to look at this!

Awesome... Thanks for the heads up..

Thanks for that tip! I am down only 29 lbs since highest 5 weeks ago, but can see lots of saggy skin appearing all over:(. However, saggy skin does not cause the health issues I was being threatened with, so no regrets! I also need to exercise more to tone.....have been lazy.

I was just looking at my upper arms in the bathroom mirror here at work and noticed some ugly sagging skin now. On the other hand, I was excited because that means that there are real changes to those arms and that I can see the change, not just on the scale. I'll give this a try. I hate the idea of sagging upper arms. ugh...

Hmm... I may try this. My stomach is very saggy after losing 80+ lbs (my butt, thighs, arms and chest aren't much better), and I want to avoid surgery if possible. TBH, I'm not sure if I want to have kids ever in my life, but if I change my mind I wouldn't want to go through a tummy tuck only to have my stomach stretch out again! I hoped that having "younger" skin would prevent the sag (I'm 23), but I guess I wasn't exempt from the dreaded saggy skin lol

I started toning more seriously and if this works too then yay ^_^ . I know my skin will never snap back as though I never carried the extra weight, but if I can minimize it then I'll be satisfied. I don't want to be able to pull my stomach skin out as far as I can anymore. I had quite the belly at 225 lbs!

Ive always beleived that if it sounds too good to be true it probably is.. Unfortuntaely I could bathe in this stuff and surgery would still be inevitable due to the rapid weight loss in my 2 surgeries but i'm looking forward to seeing how all of you do if you in fact try it.. GOod luck!
