Wow. Thank you for putting that into perspective Purpleorc. Your words are tremendously encouraging and motivating.

I know I can't wait for the days when I get to go clothes shopping and have the freedom to purchase what I think looks good, not what is the least ugly out of the 3 things that might actually fit me.

Jess,
I understand your concern. Up until recently I have been concerned about sagging skin, but haven't been too worried about it. I have noticed a couple of areas that looked a little loose, but they appeared to go away after a week or so. I am lucky to have inherited skin from my mothers side of the family (which is amazing, seriously, my 74 y/o g-ma who has had 5 kids still has a flat tummy and firm everything else) so I am hoping that will work in my favor. Anyways, last week I notice the inside of my thighs looked bad. So now I am really worried about it. I am hoping they will turn out okay, but I am thinking a plastic surgery fund wouldn't be a bad idea. I know most of the problem with my thighs is caused by my thighs rubbing together and the scarring that has resulted. Don't think genetics will help that.

Default Yay!!!
I'm so glad you started this thread! It's something that's been in the back of my mind for a while now. It had actually been bothering me quite abit, and I didn't want to pose the question to anyone who had already lost a lot of weight because I didn't want to be discouraged by the answer. But I feel so much better about it now...the benefits of losing the weight and getting healthy totally outweigh (no pun intended ) the negatives...what's a little saggy skin next to being able to live a full, healthy and happy life?!

Thanks everyone, for sharing your experiences and putting my mind at ease!
