Saggy skin!!

[newmemethinks]

I have lost 5 stone and have about 3 to go to get to target.
I have 3 children and even before pregnancy had stretch marks.
My stomach is covered and I have them everywhere, my arms and tops of my legs.
Im so embarrassed by them, my stomach I can hide but with the nicer weather coming my arms are discusting.
Im newly single so my confidence is rock bottom. I wonder how anyone will love me for me.
I feel so angry I allowed myself to get so big. I feel so sad when I look in the mirror. Im told I have a beautiful face. From the neck up I look ok.
Any advice how to tone if its possible with this yukky skin?
Or advice on building my confidence.
A single mum at 33 is scary :(

Did you have stretch marks on your arms before you lost weight or did the weight loss cause them?
I think fake tan may help hide them for now and be good for your confidence. Sorry I don't have any tips on toning but a big congrats on your fantastic weight loss.

I think everything looks better when you have good muscle tone. The skin has something to cling to (muscles). I have 2kg and 4kg dumbells and do weights whenever I get a chance, at work do things like squats or tricep dips that don't need weights. At home press ups, planks, and weights. Several times a day. 30 day shred great for ideas, do it each day plus extra weights whenever you get a chance. Also if you can get body fat down enough skin should shrink a bit as less subcutaneous fat.

Fluffy- From putting on so much weight not from losing it. Thanks and I will try the fake tan :)
foreverondiet- Do you think I can define my muscle tone even with the skin? Im gonna try weights thankyou :)

Yes can improve muscles even with skin, and skin should shrink but you may need to aim lower (weight-wise) than you currently think. Buy 30 day shred, and do every day and try and fit in extra weights throughout day.

particular - 10, 11 and 14 as these are things you can easily do. As well as the weights I take ground flaxseed every day. I have body fat of around 16-18%.
