  Unless you go on a crash diet, the extra skin should go away with the fat loss.  It takes extreme weight loss to leave all of that extra skin, because the elasticity can't keep pace with the fat loss underneath it, which is why it hangs behind.

  I definitely carry almost all of my weight in my stomach--it's the worst!!  Like Lobsters said, at our age, as long as you lose weight relatively slowly/healthily, you shouldn't have a problem with extra skin.

  I'm in the same boat - I carry most of my weight around my midsection (and, ironically, need to lose 20 pounds, too!).  The weight you want to lose will make a huge difference in stomache pudge, however; even if you don't end up with a six-pack, your stomache will be much flatter, even if it's the last place you lose. Keep up the good work!!!

  One thing to consider is that cardio helps strengthen your core, too (elliptical, running, row machine). So aside from the normal ab workouts you're doing, maybe try a little more cardio? And the PPs are correct - you won't need to worry about the extra skin. Good luck and keep up the good work! :-)
