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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

Give it time it will adjust & tighten up. Congratulations on the weight loss, that's great!! (exercise will help ur skin too)

Exercise does not tighten up loose skin. Exercise affects only muscle. The solution for loose skin is cosmetic surgery.

you can have surgery to remove the excess skin or workout more to tighten it.

congrats on loosing the weight - now let the reality sink in that you will never be attractive. harsh - but acceptance may be better than living in a dream world. fat + ugly - fat = ugly.

UPVOTE this absolutely true statement. Why is everyone so quick to turn away from the truth just because the truth may hurt at first? Jesus.

This is why you also need to lift weights if you're trying to lose a lot of excess pounds. It's also why you need to do it slowly, like one or two pounds per week. I'd say just give it time and continue to exercise, especially weight lifting and strength training type stuff. Give it a year or two, and if nothing seems to be happening, then consider surgery. Two inches doesn't sound bad anyway.

If you don't want to get surgery, get TriLastin or something. That kind of stuff puts elastin into the skin and tightens it up. Other than that, it's awesome you lost all that weight.

Cute, except not applicable because the OP correctly used the word "on", not "of" (....two inches out ON my stomach....).

That's not an FML. You just have to tone

How did you lose that weight? All you have to do is work out now. Personally I think that's how you should have lost the weight but you probably dieted and starved like crazy. Great job, but now you have to do more. Good luck.

YDI you were fat in the first place. if it was medical reasons, FYL. should never have let it get that bad

My dear this is the reality of losing weight. If you didn't figure this out before you lost the weight then you are truly a dumbass. Now go get plastic surgery.
