Hi Hithere87
What a lovely message and wow 5 stone already gone - well done you!
With regard to excess skin, I've always had a tummy problem since having my children i.e. sagging excess skin no matter how fat I got. This has diminished slightly but I'll always have this problem unless I opt for surgery which I really can't afford so will have to contend with good underwear to hold me in.
On Cambridge Diet I haven't found any other problems with excess skin and am loosing a steady 2lb a week now with a stone to go so am really happy with all round results.
My friends say I'm looking amazing and I'm so thrilled and proud of myself as is my lovely Hubby.
Keep going with your amazing journey. I see from your profile that you're doing it all on your own - that makes it even more amazing.
Hugs of encourgagement,
Dotty xx

Thank you very much Dotty, congrats on your loss too :-).

Thanks for the input on excess skin, that gives me some satisfaction, i've never had really droopy skin, so hopefully ill be ok, do you think you have excess belly skin due to the pregnancy and the swelling of your stomach from the baby?

Yea it has been difficult on my own since wakin up one morning and just wanting to change, but your guys pictures on here have made it so much easier for me to keep strong, and I cant thank you all enough.

Yes Hithere87, I put on so much weight with my first pregnancy and didn't do any exercise afterwards so was left with saggy stomach which never really recovered after the following 2 pregnancies.
Now I'm in my fifties there's not much hope for me really so have to dress wisely and wear really good fitting underwear.
Never mind, I'm so thrilled at loosing weight that this is just a small thing to contend with.
Keep going and before you know it you'll have lost another couple of stone. The forums are great and there's an awful lot of help and support out there.
Remember, if you only loose a pound, it's one less to loose and every pound counts!

I did on my stomach, at it's worst it looked like an apron, sorry if that's too much info. I think because I lost weight relatively slowly it eventually tightened and I am OK now no problems.

hithere87, well done on your weight loss so far! that's really good.

I am going to try and post 'before' and 'during' pics as I still have a couple of stone to go. Have lost 6.5 stone so far. Sorry the sizing isn't great, but hopefully you will get the idea.
