What will my body look like?

[Jamanoha]

The last few days I have been really curious about how my body will look when I finish.
I have a lot to lose (about 80kgs) and I have already lost 17.7kgs and 81.5cms. At the moment, the only way I can describe my body is that it looks fat & melted... the melted part comes from where I have lost the Kg's & Cm's.
I know that by drinking water & taking vitamins we will reduce the amount of excess skin... but when you have this much weight to lose, how much excess skin are you left with at the end?
I have had 4 babies, so I am expecting to have some excess skin around my belly, but what about everywhere else?

I'm hoping that some of you lovely cohenites who have completed your journeys will be able to give me some ideas, I'd especially love to hear from those of you that had a lot to lose.

Thanking you in advance,

Lisa

Lisa, I think you can expect some loose skin when you finish, but it will shrink over the next twelve months. Shell started a similar thread a while back here: http://newyouforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5901. We're all different, so some have their skin shrink to fit them as they diet, but others find that twelve months on there's still loose skin. Have a look at Pandora's thread here: http://newyouforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4918. I had the same to lose as you, but my skin's a lot older and therefore not so elastic as yours. I put a photo of my midriff here: http://clancie.com.au/Annabelle/Midriff.jpg a few weeks before I finished. I still have that loose skin, and also on my inner upper arms and legs. My tummy is flat and smooth, unless I bend over. Losing waited twelve months then had a tummy tuck. You can find her countdown diary here: http://newyouforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4487. She seems very happy with the result.
