Barely any. Just a residual flabiness but its certainly not worth trading the scars or spending the money for what I have.

Although I'm probably going to have a breast lift

I had a lot on my stomach, and needed a tummy tuck (which I had in August 2006). But aside from that, I am just a bit flabby here and there, nothing I can't live with.

<p>I have a hanging stomach which I think in 14 more pounds (my goal) is going to be sagging significantly. My arms are ok, my bum a bit saggy and my boobs are hanging more than I would like. But its my tummy that bothers me the most. I know I'd be wearing at least a size smaller on the bottom if I had it removed via a tummy tuck (which I am SERIOUSLY considering mid to late next year depending on my financial situation and further weigh loss).</p>

Very lucky, nothing hanging, and no stretch marks. Not bad for 54. Donna

Well - it's definitely there. I'm trying creams and later I'll do some bodywrapping treatments to help firm up the skin for my tummy.

My arms could use help, but I'm trying Ghost's method of massaging to see if I can take care of that on my own.

Nothing will lift my breasts except surgery. I'm still at a 38DD and I'm 1/2 to goal. When I was in my early 20's I was a 34C but I don't think I'm going to get back down to that.

I'd love PS but I don't know that I can justify the risk and the cost.

lots of skin here. But mainly on my stomach. My arms are good and thankfully no man boobs for me. My thighs are bad too, but they don't effect the way my clothes fit like my stomach does. I am scheduled for a Tummy Tuck on Feb 11th.

My stomach hangs every which way. I cant afford a tummy tuck so I will have to live with it everything else is a bit droopy especially my boobs. I wish we had a gym in my town so I could do more weight training type exercises. but I look better than before so thats ok.
