  • 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.
  • Quote: Don't ya hate it? That nagging loose skin question, if we had only thought about that while we were in the drive thru waiting for our cheeseburgers and fries. Sadly the loose case scenario doesn't enter our minds as we are eating ourselves to obesity... (I cut your post off here as I wanted to quote that part)
    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...
