I lost >40kg fat. How much more to go? 3~5kg? How to deal with the excess skin? Can I even do anything about it?

You can get surgery to remove the skin, but it will shrink over time as well. Don't forget that some fat is healthy, both in your food and on your body.

I've read about shrinking skin a couple of times, yet I haven't seen people where it shrunk. Not that I wouldn't believe it, but I haven't ever seen someone posting a before/after pic of how happy s/he is that the skin is finally gone.

Thanks for the reminder! It's important to hear it over and over in order not to develop bad habits
