I started off my somewhat serious weight loss journey at I think around fall last year at 320-ish lbs (26 F, heavily symptomatic of PCOS, sedentary but have been more careful when it comes to a balanced diet). While I don't THINK I actually lost enough weight to tell a massive difference quite yet, I definetely feel like my skin is a little looser and not as tight. My lower stomach especially has been sagging and I can pick it up and slap it on a desk like bongos LMAO. It's not so loose that it's LOOSE skin, but enough that it feels like the subcutaneous fat isn't as firm and can be quite jiggly. If I move the skin around, I can be more flexible in things like picking up socks off the ground without having to bend down on my knees. I also have that on my arms and my thighs are EXTREMELY flabby, although they've always been flabby so I dunno how true it holds with them.
Is this an expected outcome for extensive fat loss, or a symptom of weight GAIN? I don't have a scale with me (Which is good otherwise I would obsess over my weight more than I currently do), but I do plan on getting one later once I feel more of a difference. For now, I'm wearing a 4XL shirt (I normally wear a 3XL) and enjoying fitting nicely in my clothes for once haha.
