Today, after finally dropping my weight from an overweight 200 to a slim 135, my skin is now loose everywhere, and stretches about two inches out on my stomach. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I realized that I haven’t lost weight. All my clothes have just stretched to fit. FML
Today, after going through a major weight loss and change of lifestyle to better my confidence and health, I now have saggy thighs, arms and boobs, a deflated ass, two inches of hanging stomach, and have realized just how unsymmetrical my face is. Oh, and my physical health has never been worse. FML
Today, I noticed that I've gained so much weight that even my feet have stretch marks. FML
Today, after much dieting and exercise, I can proudly say that my love handles are now bigger than my ass. FML
Today, my boyfriend suggested I try on some old clothes, after weeks of eating better and exercising. The good news: they fit again, and are even a little bit loose. The bad news: somehow, I look fatter now than I did before I started trying to lose weight. FML
Today, after losing 20 pounds, I decided to purchase new clothes. All of the clothes at the store were still too small for me. FML
Today, my friend was complaining to me that she's gained 20 pounds and it's all gone to her butt and boobs. Meanwhile, I've also gained 20 pounds, and it's gone straight to my stomach. She looks better than she did before. FML
Today, despite being skinny everywhere else on my body, I have a double chin. FML
Today, my boyfriend encouragingly told me that he could tell I was losing weight, all because I had one roll fewer than usual on my stomach. FML
Today, for the hundredth time this year, I was told to lose weight. As an adult, I weigh 90 pounds soaking wet. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Save up your money for a skin reduction surgery. you can actually donate the loose skin to burn victims. congrats on the weight loss!

That's common with dramatic weightloss. It's unfortunate, but there is not much you can do about it outside of plastic surgery.

For those of you saying 135 isnt slim, keep a few things in mind. 1) you dont know the height 2) even for someone 5'3", 135lbs is healthy in accordance with BMI calculations as well as army standards. Im just shy of 5'3", and 116lbs right now and healthy but at one point, I did weigh 135lbs. As short as I am, even taking all of my measurements (waist, neck and so on), even medical physicians told me that I was physically healthy and at an average weight. Now, unless you have spent a multitude of years in medical school, you might not be so qualified to say that 135lbs isn't slim. Furthermore, what standard are you speaking from? Media maybe promote relatively skinny to extremely skinny as whats healthy but thats very unrealistic expectations. Curves are beautiful. To be slim, thats right slim, and still have curves is beautiful too. I came out of basic training hating my body because I didnt have womanly curves anymore for being so thin. I actually received complaints from friends and family that I was too thin. I was 110lbs. Thin doesn't make healthy. Op- congrats on maintaining motivation and losing so much weight.

As learned in bio class, fat cells don't "go away" they just grow and shrink. Dieting your makes you lose weight but does nothing with the fat cells, thus why you need to tone as well as diet.

There are lots of ways to tighten your skin as you work out. If you do it correctly, your skin shouldn't be flabby at all. Its very elastic, and like a rubberband, it'll stretch, and as your body gets smaller, it will shrink to fit your body.

In two years, I went from 115, to 135. My boyfriend loves my body, and doesn't want me to lose weight because I have curves and he loves that. But I don't feel as confident as I used to. I don't want to lose all of it, I just want to go down to 125. I'm considered healthy either way. The only good thing that came with the extra weight was that it mostly went to my boobs. It went to my stomach and thighs too, but I've gone up at least two cup sizes. Its crazy. Good job for losing the weight, it's really hard to lose a large amount of weight like that.

I went from 210 to 135 recently and I don't have that problem. There are ab exercises you can do to get rid of it.

I think it shrinks back overtime

You most likely post the weight too fast and that leads to excess skin... Unfortunate my friend....
