Great article Liz; when I was 20 I lost a lot of weight very quickly. Needless to say, I had stretchy boobs! It was horrible, haha, and as my weight has fluctuated over the past 5 years, I haven’t gotten the skin under control either. Your blog is full of great, handy and personal tips from someone who’s been there (with all the embarrassing issues too!) , so I will be following more

Heh, What boob? I only have sacks of skin :/. Yeah expect some saggy in the boobie area, guys too. A good support bra with those pad things makes it look fine, only person who will know is you and your partner. There is always surgery however, boob lift I think are about 4k.

But you dont explain about saggy boobs and such, just skin in general.
The boob thing was my main intrest in this site…

Sagging skin is one of my fears because it seems like people lose the weight then end up having to take out a second mortgage to get rid of the excess skin. I suppose that saggy skin is better than being morbidly obese though. At this point, I think that saggy skin is something I will look forward to and then think about the next step.

Liz, you are an inspiration! Good on you for keeping this site free because I know that there are a lot of people out there who wouldn’t be so generous with their knowledge and experience. As for the plagiarism claims? I came on to your site to read the info – not to check your referencing. Thanks for the inspiration!!

It took a little while, but my skin has begun to snap back after my weight loss. Even the skin that isn’t tightening the way I’d like is not enough to affect my health or inconvenience me, it’s just something I’m not happy with when I look in the mirror; it is covered well by clothing however. I’ll not consider surgery even if it doesn’t snap back quite the way I want it to, it’s such a vascular (which means it’s dangerous!) procedure that I really would rather just deal with the loose skin.

By the way, anyone accusing Liz of plagiarism, please check the things she’s written. She starts almost every article here with “Here is an article that explains more” or “Here is information I found.” Yes, she may not cite the exact source, but she isn’t saying “Here’s an article I’ve written!” Were she trying to make money off this website or if she was writing a paper for an English class, yes, you might be able to make the case for plagiarism. However, since she’s not doing either of those things, you really can’t call this plagiarism.

ugh…my skin didnt bounce back after havin kids…..my tummy is the place that bothers me the most…i always thought i couldnt lose it off there without surgery…..hopefully i can prove myself wrong….
oh also…..when something starts of as ‘Here is an article that explains more’ its obviously an article written by someone else not the person that posted it

A couple of things on my website are from various other websites, as the article says “Here is an article that explains more.” it does not say that i wrote it. I have however edited it, and would have linked where it came from if i knew. In fact I’m pretty sure that i didn’t get it from Tom Venuto’s site or book, so no doubt i got it off some other site ripping him off.
In any case, I don’t run the website for fame or money, I run it because i think making money of other peoples weight problems. I lost a lot of weight, and people wanted to know how. It became tiresome repeating the same thing because it wasnt a 5 minute conversation.

Hi Liz. I happened upon your website by chance, following a link and landed on your page ‘Does saggy skin bounce back?’. I happen to know for a fact that the ’12 things you should know’ that you’ve posted and passed off as your own are words from Tom Venuto, the author of ‘Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle’, from one of his newsletter emails I subscribe to. It’s plagerism to pass off someone else’s work as your own, without referencing it. You’ve clearly done very well for yourself with your weight loss, and no doubt many of the facts you’ve accummulated may be of your own insight, but it’s not great to pass off someone else’s work as your own. As someone who appreciates the hard work that has gone into getting where you’ve gotten to, you should respect the hard work of others.
