if you have lost a fair bit of weigh is it normal for your tummy to look like it needs a good ironing , its full of winkles so are my bingo wings Never mind only another 6 stone to go

There will always be loose skin after a good drop in weight, unfortunately I’d expect more if you have quite a bit more to lose.
I think there will be skin removal options available when you’re at your goal weight though.
Not sure of the criteria on the NHS but if you can afford to pay privately, that’s also an option.

Well done on the weight loss so far Gail! :care:
 
Thats the problem with the birthday suit.....could always do with ironing :rofl:
 
I think of skin like a pair of lycra leggings.
They can stretch for a larger person to wear and shrink back for a smaller person.
However, if the larger person wears them too many times, they won't shrink far enough and become baggy for the smaller person.

Welcome to the wrinkly club Gail 🙂 I look perfectly respectable in my clothes but without them...ugh! Not that I mind. Lots of work has gone into every wrinkle and I wear them with pride 😉 xx
