I've lost 3 stones and still have about another 100lbs to go, and just suddenly all this loose skin has appeared on my thighs - I mean its really wrinkled. I'm kind of freaking out about it and I don't understand it because most of my weight needs to come off my tummy, so I don't understand why my thighs have suddenly shrunk. The thing is that because it looks unsightly, I have stopped exercising and stopped thinking about calorie counting although I'm still eating less overall.

I realise that it might be crazy to stop, but I've just kind of 'frozen' - I think its fear and also I feel angry that this is happening to my body.

Does anyone have any words of wisdom or experience to help a person come to terms with this?

Congrats on the weight loss so far! That is fantastic

Skin is an organ as you probably know. It will take some time to shrink. It probably won't be tight unless you are a teenager, but you can certainly help this process by keeping your skin moisturized. It will look & feel smoother.

Don't give up on yourself! You are doing great!

I am going thru the same thing. I told my hubby that I will need a complete body lift if I ever get this weight off. My tummy is still there too. they say it is the last thing to go.
