Show some skin?

[Beckyyb93 225]

Is anyone willing to post pictures in a bathing suit or something that shows some skin? I'm paranoid that my skin is going to be saggy and ugly when I lose a lot of weight. I'm 267 and 19 and I'm wanting to get down to 125...does anyone have any thoughts or pictures? I know working out will help so I'm planning on doing a lot of that.

Will my skin be yucky or will I be able to wear 2 pieces?

You will very likely not be able to wear a 2 piece if you lose 140 pounds. Perhaps after extensive plastics, but in all honesty you are losing half of yourself plus some!

My starting weight was 265, my highest ever was 275. I'm 140 now and I could wear a 2-pc, but my belly area is not that attractive. It's not terrible, but when I am in plank position (imagine sunbathing on your belly and you raise up like doing a pushup) it all sags and hangs down. I look fine in clothes and a 1-pc. My butt/back of thigh is also a little loose. I might post pics, if I ever have time.

I'm 36 so keep in mind your skin is much younger. I was only obese for about 6 years of my adult life. And I notice it does get better ech month, it does tighten up and exercise helps.

I have lost 80 pounds and gave birth to 4 kids. My belly is decent enough that I could wear a bikini. My belly is flat and doesn't hang over, but it is wrinkly. The wrinkles only show up just above my pubic hair line.

I should add that I had surgery 10 days before my 40th birthday, and I am 5'7.5" tall.

And thanks for your sweet comment, Kristi. I do a lot of Zumba, and I really think it is paying off.

Hi Linda, I love Zumba too! How soon after your operation did you start Zumba. I've heard 6 weeks and up to 3 months. Would love to hear your input.

i bought the zumba cd's! i will get on that !

[Beckyyb93 225]

Linda, you look amazing...thank you for sharing I really appreciate all the honest responses. Zumba is fun but learning the moves can be a bit of a challenge! I have a personal trainer and she's a sweet heart so she is going to help put exercise routines together for me at each step of the way.

I was around 273 lbs pre-op, and I currently weigh 158 lbs. I'm 30 yo. I have LOTS of loose skin for which I'm getting the plastics done in Feb - arm lift, thigh lift, breast lift and Tummy Tuck. From my research I gathered that very few are lucky in the loose skin department. Losing almost half your weight will surely leave its mark on the body. But as you are young, I hope your skin tightens up fast. Good luck!

Search YouTube for

weightloss skin

Rny skin

Sleeve skin

Excess skin

Stuff like that. I've seen a lot of videos on YouTube. And I think the younger you are the more it should bounce back.

You look great! I have had four kids also (C-sections I might add) so the belly area is def a concern of mine. I too am worried about extremely sagging skin. In my mind I imagine my belly hanging to my knees, lol . Your pic gives me hope though! I'm 5'1 & 232#. Surgery date 02/21/2013.
