After starting my weightloss journey last December I (f25, 165cm) finally hit my goal weight a few days ago (SW 81.5kgs, GW 58kgs, CW 57.9kgs).
Depsite being close to obese on the BMI scale, I never thought I looked that overweight, Most people would have described me as "a little chubby" or "a little overweight" and I carried most of my fat in my butt and thighs.
After being frustrated for the last month or two that the last little bit of pooch wasn't leaving my tummy I finally realised why during my workout today. It's loose skin. I'm confident it is because of the weird way it kind of folds when I'm bending over (sags to one side or the other but not uniform in any way) and am just frustrated. There's not a lot I can do about it except wait and hope it goes away. But at the same time, it kind of hurts (my feelings, not physically). When I started, I didn't think I was fat enough for loose skin to be a problem when I lost weight.
Just feeling frustrated that it's putting a crimp in my celebratory feelings. I assume plenty of people here have probably gone through something similar... I welcome any advice, thoughts or comisserations :)
