Default Why do I look like a deflated balloon?

I think I am really frustrated. I have lost almost 100 lb and when I look at the skin on my arms, legs, breasts, etc. all I see is extra skin. I'm 26 so I thought the skin would start to shrink. (I have lost this weight over 2 years) I know I was/am way over my ideal body weight but I'm wondering will it go away or do I need surgery to remove it eventually? If any one can give me some in sight please let me know! Thanks in advance.

Skin is a funny thing. We have a great "Skin FAQs" thread that can answer a lot of your questions:
