Fat body or flabby skin?

[augeremt]

Thanks for all the responses, guys. I do plan on continuing my weight-loss regardless of the possible results in the long run. The main reason I wanna lose weight is for health and lifestyle, but the bikini part would be a nice perk (I know I'm not gonna have a sweet bikini bod, but I'd like to get close).

Anywhos, thanks for the different perspectives and tips. And yeah, I would prefer saggy skin to fat rolls.

SO true!

In my case I'd have to vote for the loose skin over the filled out w/fat skin as I am enjoying being healthier and more fit/active, just more "fun".
I am not at goal yet so who knows if some will tighten up (hello? elbows please!) but I am also 40 and was over 100# overweight so I'll take what I get.

Do I LOVE my body right now? No but I don't hate it either, it is remarkable that it can go from that to this even...
