Loving the Skin I'm In!

Hong Kong Yanpep International
Way to go! The scale reading is only ever a number, but genuine self-love sticks around forever. So happy to hear things feel more comfortable these days! Enjoy every version of who you are, whatever the weight says!
 
Congrats on where you're at so far, that's serious progress for just a few months.

Dropped 95 lbs myself a couple years back, and yeah loose skin showed up but nowhere near as bad as I'd dreaded. Being tall probably helps some, the skin has more room to spread instead of bunching up in one area. Core training helped tighten things up a bit too, not a miracle fix but it made a difference.

Slower loss tends to be better, though honestly genetics end up mattering more than anything, some people just deal with more or less regardless of what they do. Keeping up with lotion and drinking enough water certainly won't hurt either.
 
Could I ask whether you ended up with excess skin? I have 45kg to lose beginning in September and that's what worries me most. I'll cope with it if needed though.
 
Started right around 225 myself, 46, female, and I'm at 160 now. Averaged roughly a pound weekly and ended up with loose skin, especially my legs and arms. Kind of unavoidable when you lose that much and stretch skin out that far. Still happy with where I landed though.
