Not where I expected loose skin

I wore shorts yesterday and I've been dropping pretty steady for a couple months. I expected loose boobs and arms and neck and stomach. I NEVER expected for my thighs to have these weird ripples like elephant skin! Not very attractive, lol. I hope it doesn't work it's way down to my lower legs and horrors! My ankle tattoo!!!

Oh yep.... I've got that too. Inner thighs kind of down to my knees. I'm thinking there has to be some kind of "lift" for that.

I carry most of my weight in my hips and thighs, so I definitely foresee a thigh lift in my future.

There are lifts for everything ladies. And a lot of insurance companies will actually pay for some of the work if you get skin breakdown or it impedes your movements etc. Start documenting things with your doctor, a dermatologist, and pictures so that way if and when the time comes, you have your bases covered.

Yes, definitely. I've been documenting things with my PCP for several months now and he thinks I have a good chance of having my stomach and arms covered. I think I would be on my own though for the thigh lift......

I have loose saggy skin on my thighs and butt more than anywhere else. It hasn't migrated to my calves and ankles, though. The sagginess in my face, neck, arms and tummy firmed up pretty well, but not from the waist down. Of course that's where I carried most of my weight the longest, so I'm not surprised. I will never look good in shorts or a skirt, no matter how much I lose. Good thing I live in the mountains where it's only above 80 maybe 2-3 weeks out of the year.

Glad to know it's not just me! My upper body has stayed pretty good. It wasn't until wearing shorts that I could see where it had drooped. I've list a lot of weight quickly over the last couple of months. My weight was mostly in my stomach and hips and butt...you know!

I have that loose drapey skin on my inner thighs, but my legs have always been skinny from about 3 or 4 inches above the knee on down, so I can still wear shorts and skirts. I also had a lot of side boob fat that does the same thing. I can just shove that into my bra. Not sure how my tummy is gonna pan out. That is where a lot of my fat still resides. Not sure how well it will turn out.
