Not predictable, really. Just depends on your individual body.

Following with interest as I’m in a similar boat - 48, lost 35 pounds after 15 years of carrying the extra weight, tons of stretch marks from three pregnancies. It’s not pretty and I’m trying to figure out whether things will improve at all or this is just my new reality!

I'm an apple shape, in the middle of losing about 28 lbs. It may be more, may be less, but that is the approximate goal. I'm over 50, and carry a lot of weight in my stomach area. Will I be dealing with saggy skin afterward or should I just work on toning exercises? It's not that much weight, but it's been a looong time.
