Im at the jiggly belly stage. You?

DO try not to get turned on as I share this..but you know how when we're really fat, we're like..solid? Like big thighs, big calves, but they're all solid. You just look like a big strong girl/boy, right?

Well now that I'm losing fat, I'm at the jiggly stage. My stomach is a special disaster area. It's like....loose. And jiggly, and squishy and kinda...floppy. Like I said, try not to get turned on!

Ewwww! I mean I'm glad I'm losing weight don't get me wrong, but it wasn't prepared for this. I could almost tell myself I look smaller, but worse. I rush to say I'm not saying I look worse, I'm just saying...wasn't expecting this. Take note, you pre-oppers. If you're like me, you may not love your new body at every stage.

For the vets, I'm guessing we go through a few times of firm up and jiggly, before it's all over right? Or is it jigglyville from here on out?

chicken skin won't kill you. Plus.....it varies for everyone. Don't worry about it ahead of time.

Yessir, Butter, sir ;-P and I know it won't kill me, but who wants to wear a swimsuit and look disgusting!?!

Believe me I get it. That's why I planned in advance to have plastics. I knew I'd need it and even though I could have really used that money for other things, I just couldn't live the rest of my life with that jelly roll.

*Sigh* Woe is me then, I really don't want another surgery. Mr. Redbean thinks I won't even need it - imma just hope he's right!!!

Well I'm kind if attached to my skin. If I roll over it rolls over with me.... Just a little later! Sent from my iPhone using VST

This may be TMI for some.....but after my TT my abdomen looks great. But my ass looks like 2 sleepy shar-peis.

So I'm not the only who who has a saggy booty now. I swear my butt looks like an 80 year old lady's butt, if you've ever payed any attention (I work in the medical field and have seen more than my fair share of naked old lady bottoms -- gross) then you know it all sags but for some reason all to the middle, so you have this little booty just hanging down with droopy skin all wrinkledy above it. I'm so not happy about my butt hence the 30 day squat challenge. I am impatient, I know it. I've only been at the squat challenge a week or so but I already want a cute round booty and it just aint there. I'm thinking I need a 90 day squat challenge....

I better start the squats. Already my butt has started to disappear, can the droop really be far behind, har har?

yep, I've got the squishy tummy, too, along with wrinkly thighs and amazing batwing arms. I do believe I can fly.

I'll fly with you!!!! I have wings 2!!!!

Geeez I'm glad I'm not alone. Down 107 lbs and it amazes me that my belly button has turned into a black hole. I thought I lost my belly button ring the other day but nope...just got sucked into the black hole. I have a tattoo above it of a butterfly... looks like a bat now that hit the windshield of a car going 90 mph! LOL :)

I'm really good at not registering what my body looks like at home in my same old mirrors but last month we were at a hotel with a mirrored wall in the bathroom. I had this sick fascination with all the ways my thighs are sagging. The worse thing is after over 30 years of a gigantic belly there is so much sag that from the belly button down my belly folds in now. So I have two belly halves like you have two butt cheeks! Very wierd. I also hate to walk around the house without my stretchy bike shorts or jeans on because of the amount of belly sway.

I read a book several years ago by a lady who had lost a ton of weight and she said her skin kept adjusting for two years after she reached goal.

Yep, I've got the lower belly "crease" too. You're not alone sister.

Sigh.

Ooh it's a crease. I thought I had butt crack and belly crack haha

I'm starting to get into the loose skin stage; getting a little annoyed but also liking how much smaller I look! I started of at 234 (HW) and weighed in last Wednesday at 157.6! I'm a size 10-12 right now but I know that if I didn't have this flab+Post- baby fat I'd be in the single digits! Really considering plastic surgery!

My PA who had RNY 6 years ago, said that her skin today looks much better than it did even 3 years ago. So there's hope. And in the meantime, I created this to remind myself to be happy. for-every-woman-unhappy.png
