I am living the very same thing at this same moment. I have lost 174 lbs in 11 months and still weigh 246--i need to lose another 80 -100lbs and can;'t even imagine how much worse my skin is going to get. But I am like you--spanx are great for now but I want to be free eventually! I am all for plastic surgery. You look beautiful and the skin is a reminder of the harm we did to our bodies and the courageous journey we took to change our lives. It sags because we now soar! Thanks for your bravery!

Sarah I can totally empathize with you. I am still about 60lbs from my goal wt and I KNOW that I will need reconstructive surgery just from the skin I already have a hanging! I try to ignore it as much as possible because it is a downer. I will have surgery tho... I deserve it and so do you'll get there you are an inspiration. I hope you know that you are loved by many here! Thank you for being so honest.

You look great but I got you beat on the underarms
and probably the legs
ever see those movie's where they reconstruct the persons face due to a car accident
well I wish I have naked pictures of myself from 25 years ago, cuz I think they are going to have to reconstruct my body
LOL
Hugs

I know it's not the same for me as for you. I'm just so happy to be healthier and wearing smaller sizes. I am estatic. I wasted my youth feeling fat and now I recognize that at 113 and 5'7'" I was not f at, but my friend was a tiny thing who got weighed in gym class ahead of me and she always weighted 10-15 less than me. I wasted my youth feeling fat. I'm probably not making myself clear,just don't waste your youth worrying about this. Plastics or not, you are beautiful!!!

Unless you find a way to feel good about yourself, you never will feel beautiful and sexy. I wish I could tell you how to do that!
I do want to say, that when I looked at the pictures of you a the Vegas meet and greet, all I could hink about was what a beautful, radiant smile you have. My god girl, you light up the place around you.
I am only 5+ months post surgery and have not lost nearly as much weight as you, nor will I probably. I am also a few weeks shy of 60 and married.

I am sending you a big virtual hug, Sarah. Thank you so much for sharing your pain. I am just starting the journey but can see that I will have to pay for all my years of abusing my body. Not looking forward to PS but am saving my pennies for it. I wish you all the best.

ok, I am going to make a bare-all video! I know I am not supposed to compare myself to others-you started more than me and now lighter that me so you have come further than I have, however, I BET mine is worse...you'll see. I try to take comfort in that I am not alone and that I will be fixed soon and those who don't like it-too bad. Most peeps just complement me, they don't know. It's hard to give advice cuz we see it all the time, not much u can say to help only know ur not alone! <3 U
