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.

You should be damn proud of losing all the weight, especially if you're anywhere in the US. It's not impossible, but American culture seems to shove grease in your face at every turn. Well done, OP. The skin thing...eh. Tighten up. Weights do wonders to this end.

CONGRATULATIONS on your weight loss! I bet it's an amazing feeling to finally have lost all that weight. You should be proud of yourself. Yes, you've got a little extra skin. Big deal. You've made a huge improvement in your health, and done something a lot of people (like me) wish they could do. Be proud of yourself!

my mom said to drink skim milk and plenty of vitamin E because they help put elasticity back in your skin. Congrats on losing the weight, though!

well at least you are healthy from the inside now. I have the same issue going on from my baby and losing weight not much you can do except build muscle to counteract it which doesn't help 100% or get surgery

congratulations op! that's a big accomplishment and you should be proud of yourself! if you dont like the excess skin then either do some toning or wear some lose fitting clothes. Im sure you look fine, stop complaining and be happy! you're now on track to being healthy:)

Seriously, #147? Your solution to someone who has just dropped a dramatic amount of weight is to advise them to continue to wear loose clothing? In what world would that be a satisfying reward for all the hard work of dropping that weight? Also, toning doesn't affect loose skin. Toning affects only muscle. #149 -- When at the peak of her modeling career, Cindy Crawford's weight fluctuated between 130-135 pounds. Are you saying that she wasn't slim???

I agree with the person that said you probably got liposuction

135 is not slim. good job on the progress, begin lifting weights to tone and tighten the skin now.

I'm 5'10", and if I were 135 lbs I would be unhealthily skinny. You can't say whether 135 is slim for the OP unless you know the height and build.
