Hi Greg,

Welcome aboard, and congrats on the weight loss. Skin elasticity depends on genetics and age, people react differently. I had a lot of loose skin that actually dangled at one point from my belly. A year later it improved quite a bit, but was still quite obvious, not to mention streach marks all over.

I know the feeling when you think you still need to lose more, while others say enough. Looking in the mirror is quite different than looking at a picture. Why not have someone photograph you from various angles and distance, while you're clothed. I stress clothed because if you like what see you clothed, you're done losing weight. Now if you don't like what you see naked, this means you've lost some muscle along with the fat, and you just need to rebuild them with weight training.

Wa'il
