My belly is shrinking okay, even after child birth and all the weight I have gained and now losing. I have stretch marks, but those don't bother me too much. However, my upper arms have always been jiggly. I have the ultimate bat wings and I am trying to firm them up as best I can.purple_moonflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06532781078349490839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3922505166273948043.post-41711853755173467692009-10-07T17:54:38.159-04:002009-10-07T17:54:38.159-04:00Heck no 36 isn't middle aged! I'll be 35 ...Heck no 36 isn't middle aged! I'll be 35 in April & I'm not ready for middle aged yet. ;)<br /><br />I think, just like evertything, it varies from person to person.<br />One gal I know was in her mid 20s & lost 100lbs in 9-10 months through WW & mega exercise. By mega I mean she went straight from doing very little to spending 2 hours or more at the gym every single day.<br />She had lots of excess belly skin but everthing else tightened up fine.<br /><br />Another friend of mine lost about 80lbs over...I know it was over a year but am not quite sure if it was a full year & a half. She did diet & exercise (about an hour, 6 days a week) and said she didn't have any problems other than what you'd expect for normal 42 year old sagging.<br /><br />It does sound like you're doing all the right things though!<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />Lynn....https://www.blogger.com/profile/13959807329855529294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3922505166273948043.post-9222224570256165492009-10-07T16:52:43.669-04:002009-10-07T16:52:43.669-04:00Well, if it is any comfort, my skin is looking OK ...Well, if it is any comfort, my skin is looking OK for an old girl! I am 48 and have lost nearly 70lbs so far (in 7 months). I carried the extra weight for 15 years. I do have some stretch marks though.<br /><br />I slap on loads of cream, exercise a lot and keep hydrated.<br /><br />Apparently it takes the skin a little longer to tighten up as well.<br /><br />So, don't worry, you will look fab at goal!Fat[free]Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09657562694069139967noreply@blogger.com
