Tummy

Hi!! I'm very much apple shaped. I carry ALL my weight in my tummy. Ugh! I'm talking 2 stomachs. One above and below my waistline. You know what I mean lol. Is anyone else shaped like this?? I'm wondering if I'll have a hard time with extra skin. What are good work outs to tighten up as I lose?

Depending upon your size and age you may not be able to tighten up as much as you'd like.

My dr has told me I'll need plastic surgery. Last time I was at goal I was a size 2 with lots of excess skin. This was in spite of working out and trying everything under the sun to tighten. My arms did tighten and aren't bat wing like.

Depending on your starting weight, age, and over all skin elasticity you may find yourself needing plastic surgery to remove all the excess skin someday.

I just had over 12 pounds of skin removed from my tummy this past spring. I immediately dropped two pant sizes.
