So I realize this is a "better" problem to have than starting from scratch, but are there any ladies out there who have lost a large amount of weight only to find themselves with leftover loose skin and cellulite everywhere? A few years ago, I lost about 70 lbs by eating healthy and training for a marathon. I had been overweight my whole life and never dreamed I could ever wear a size 2 or 4 like I do now. I'm only 5'2 and once weighed over 200 lbs. When I'm wearing clothes, I feel very confident, etc. and am happy with the way I look. Underneath though, my skin is saggy and dimply everywhere! I still would never go outside in a bathing suit. Most people wave me off because they can see that I'm small....until I show them...then they say, "Oh, I see what you're saying..." and say.."maybe another 5 lbs?"
Anyway, my question is this: do I need to lose more weight before I can tone up (I do pilates pretty regularly and still run) or is surgery my only option? I don't want to do the surgery because I would need it everywhere - stomach, arms, legs, "tush," even my knees! Also because it's obviously expensive and not the most fun thing to do on a Saturday afternoon. If any knotties out there have any advice, I'd love to hear it!
