Hotel mirror check: does this skin ever catch up?

I’m on the road most weeks, so my mirror is a different hotel bathroom every few nights. Down about 58 lb over the last year, waist measurement went from 36 to 31, and I feel great.

But the skin under my arms and around my lower belly still has that soft, crinkly hang. It’s better than it was six months ago, or maybe I’m just less startled by it.

I keep wondering if it slowly keeps remodeling after the weight loss slows down, or if this is the part where patience stops being a plan. I’m not looking for a miracle, just a realistic sense of the timeline.

For those a year or two past their loss, did you notice more firming up with time, or did your skin mostly stay where it landed?
