My experience was that the overhang was at its worst 3/4 of the way to my goal weight. I still have loose skin. No doubt about that. After 240+ pounds of weight loss it was inevitable. However, my end result was not as bad as I feared that it might be. But after the peak with 30 (or so) pounds from goal the overhang lessened with additional weight loss. I've still never managed to reach my normal BMI. I wonder if the hanging skin might be even better if I did get those last few pounds off. From what I've read this loose skin issue varies widely from one person to the next. Your age, how much weight you've lost, how fast you lost it, and your genetic disposition all play a roll. Considering how much weight I lost, I can't complain about my results.
