That's what I'm hoping for. Sad to say, I'm not 25 anymore. Even though I've lost alot of fat, the surrounding skin hasn't shrunk up/toned up much along with the weight loss. I know the skin will shrink up slowly over time, but I think I may never have the "tight" look I'd like to achieve. MY almost-40-year-old skin just doesn't have the elasticity it once did.

However, I *am* discovering that I seem to be capable of developing very nice looking abdominal muscles. I've always joked about wanting "six pack abs" and I now think I can maybe make that happen. I'm seeing very positive results from abdominal work I'm doing, and as the weight has come off my middle the results are becoming more noticeable.

Trisk, it sounds like you've worked out a very doable way of eating for life, which to me is the whole goal of WW. It's not only about losing weight (though we need to do that first.) It's about learning a way to eat for life that allows us to be fit, healthy & satisfied.
