Back after a while
Hi, all. I was here back in January and just getting started. I haven't logged on in a while so I thought I would check back in. Things are going well I guess, but I needed to get my self in order, and straighten out my life, but I think I'm on the right track now.
I have a question. I tried the search but found a bunch of posts that didn't really answer my question, and lots of info both ways on the net.
I have been noticing that I have really saggy skin, under my arms, on my stomach, on my "hiney," etc. from the weight loss. I am working out with weights, which helps with the toning, but is there anything I can do now about the loose skin issue as I continue to lose that will decrease the amount of loose skin I end up with when I am at my goal? Will it eventually shrink up? It distresses me somewhat that I can pinch almost a half-inch of skin (not fat) under my arms, and makes me afraid of what it is going to look like next year!!
Has anyone had any experience with this? I don't want to end up having surgery to tighten loose skin; I'm afraid of that! When I was pregnant I had some kind of aloe vera thing I rubbed on my belly because it was so dry and itchy; my stomach went back pretty well, but I wasn't anywhere near that big. So should I go see a dermatologist now? Use aloe vera? Is there anything I can do to minimize the effect over the next few months, or is there nothing I can do?
