Hi. I was wondering if anyone knows much about what happens to your skin when you lose a lot of weight. I used to weigh about 235 lbs, and through a combination of diet and exercise have brought myself down to 190 lbs currently. I'm relatively heavily built and muscular, and based on my past weight before I started gaining I think I can probably get as low as 175 lbs.

My current concern is that even though I'm not extremely fat now, at least compared to how I used to be, I still look relatively sloppy, especially in the stomach area. At the height of my weight gain, the skin there had stretched out a bit, and I don't really know what's going to happen to it when I reach my weight goal. Will it look okay or will it leave a fold, which I've heard has been a problem for some people? Will it end up just looking wrinkled? If it does, is there any good way to make it firmer other than surgery? If anyone has had experience with this, or knows about it at all, I'd like to hear about it. Thanks.
