Hi Stacey,
I'm 28 (and have 3 young children ages 3,2 and 1) I lost the 80lbs in 8 months ... so 10lbs a month. I'm not sure if you consider that fast or slow ... average, maybe?! haha
I will absolutely need plastic surgery to fix my body ... no ifs, ands, or buts. If you saw me naked, you'd agree)
10 lbs a month is probably pretty fast. Most weight loss professionals recommend only losing 1-2 lbs a week (4-8 lbs a month). I struggle with my weight dropping too fast too. I'm going to try and slow it down a bit and hope that it will help my skin tighten up better.
How long has it been since you've lost the weight? I've been told if you wait a year and half after weight loss the skin will most likely shrink up quite a bit. But it does seam like everyone is different when it comes to the skin after weight loss.
That makes me sad, but it's kind of what I thought. That's really not good... I'm quite poor and don't think there is any way I could ever afford surgery. I'm hoping for a miracle! Hey, I don't care if I never get to wear a bikini (it would be nice, don't get me wrong, but I'm not going to delude myself) but I just don't want to look like a deflated balloon. lol
