Anyone else that has lost a lot of weight get so
much skin it looked like this? If my boobs end up looking like that
....

I've lost more than 150 pounds, and if you are referring to the
Discovery Channel program I think you are, then yes, I look like that.
My breasts look like deflated footballs; I have to clean and jerk them
into a bra every morning. There are rolls of excess skin on my abdomen
and thighs; my upper arms make a flapping noise during aerobics. I look
like a shar-pei, but less cute.

I

would rather be fat!

I wouldn't. I started this WOL to improve my health and quality of
life. I figured my middle-aged skin would not "go back to normal"
after 20+ years of morbid obesity. Being able to walk without fatigue
and pain, having energy to live an active life, and controlling my
diabetes and sleep apnea are well worth the unpleasant appearance,
which can only be seen when I'm nekkid. I look quite presentable
clothed:

I have an consult scheduled with a plastic surgeon in June, so I hope
to have some of the redundant skin removed. But even if I can't, I
value my health far more than my physical appearance.

As always, YMMV.
