I'm 45 year old and still feel self conscious. It will always be there...it's who I am. I just try to go with the flow. I was born modest. I was modest as a small child, my sibling were not. My oldest child is not, my youngest is. It's just how we are made.

That being said, in time, the skin WILL get better. I lost my weight much later in life than you and in the last 2 years of maintaince there has been definite improvement, (without surgery). No, I'm still saggy and baggy in places, but the skin is very forgiving especially if you keep it the same size for a long period of time. Good nutrition, good skin care, and weight maintenance is the key to better skin!

Ok I have not gotten to the big loss stage yet but can hardly wait. I would be lying if I said that the loose skin thing didn't scare the **** out of me but lets be honest with ourselves.
Did you feel more sexy before you lost all the weight? I know myself personally I feel embarrased as **** when my stomach gets in the way during sex or parts of my body that sooooo should not move make this wavy action in the middle of an intimate moment.
I would much rather have excess skin than excess body weight.
Good luck and I hope this helps.
