Losing weight a little more slowly allows the skin to
shrink a bit more. We get a new skin lining every 6 months,
maybe in time it may shrink some but she will need to do some
type of exercise like jump rope or running or bouncing on a small
trampoline. Ever wonder why runners have taut skin even when they
are old?

Thanks for the advice. She thought that it was over for her. I'll suggest that for her.
