Question about excess flab

[Romance1]

I think this post goes in this forum, i hope so!

Alright well I am an 18 year old girl weighing 180 pounds and 5'6" but anyway I currently have been working out at the gym 5 days a week and dieting, I would like to be able to wear a bikini sometime this summer.

Anyway, my question is..will my stomach ever be bikini ready? Those of you have been overweight and lost it, did you have hanging skin on your stomach even once you were a healthy weight?

I am just really worried i'll never have a nice body even if i am an ideal 135 pounds

At your age I don't think you will have any trouble shrinking your tummy! Especially since you are not morbidly obese, either.

I recommend using a stability ball. I do these killer things called "pikes" on my ball, and boy does it give you a 6 pack!

Happy shrinking!

well...if you're working out as much as you say you shouldnt have a problem. But in my case I exercised, but not religiously and I still have some extra skin (that is now almost gone, its been a year since my weight has been off) I still have a problem with my bellybutton though =/ I refer to it as a sad belly button haha.

btw- I went from 180 to 113-117, but I am only ALMOST 5'4" (my weight varies)
