Hi all,
I went down from 160lbs at my highest, to my current weight of 140lbs (I'm 5'4 and female)

I did it stupidly I have to admit, just cutting out foods and hardly eating anything!

Miraculously I have managed to stay the same size (through stress, I think!). It's been a year now and the loose skin hasn't tightened up, particularly on my breasts. I have a lot of stretchmarks there, and when I lean forward, they turn into deep wrinkles. I can grab a handful of skin there and it's paper thin, so no fat under it, just breast tissue which is loose because of the weightloss (saggy boobs!)

Am I beyond all hope?

I read here that sometimes a Water Fast can help tighten things up, but then somebody else said that if the skin is so damaged that it has stretchmarks then it's probably beyond repair.

I'm worried about losing more weight as it will make the problem worse, no?

But I'm willing to do whatever it takes!

Any advice gratefully received! Thanks so much :)
