I enjoy reading everyone's posts on the forum and seeing people's experiences and progress but I'm still a little new here. I am 23 and was sleeved just under a month ago. I wanted to find more people around my age who have also been sleeved or are considering/planning on being sleeved. I'm interested in hearing about your experiences, sharing goals, etc.

Im 24 years old and was sleeved 12/20/2012, just over 6 months out. I am down 71 pounds. It does get harder the further out you get and i find myself having to seriously workout and watch what i eat just for a 1 pound per week loss. But i am 50 pounds from goal. So i will keep on pushing until i get there!

Is it true that younger people's skin holds up better after weight loss? I'm sooooo nervous and I can't afford plastics!

I'm 25 and sleeved 5/13 with 35 lbs lost. My skin is prone to stretch marks. I'm not sure if its the cocoa butter or what but my stretch marks are less visible and my skin doesn't look flabby like I thought it would!
