I am sorry; but I don't see a problem with the photos! I don't see any loose skin. This sounds more like a mental problem. It's all in your head.

I'm pretty sure she said those pics were from before she gained weight. I used to be super skinny, too. Once I started gaining, I never quit.

When I was a girl...ahem, I'm 70 now...the smallest size was an 8 in misses or a 5 in juniors. A 5 was what I wore and they were very rare; 7 was the usual starting size.

You are doing great, Funsize, and I love your motto!

And you still looked awesome! That's what I mean when I say some strength training at your current weight or a little lower might really do the trick in terms of giving you the look you want. When you're getting down to normal weird, body fat is only part of the equation. Sculpting with heavy stuff and working on simple things like lunges/squats/push-ups/pull-ups/planks will do SO much for getting you into a smaller size.

In the first six weeks of me doing my now-favorite workout, I gained three pounds. But I lost seventeen inches and TWO clothing sizes. Building muscle did remarkable things for visually changing my shape, and I'm not the only one who benefits from that
