Hey just Jo. I've been taking collagen pills for about a month now and I'm hoping that will help a little bit. I'd like to think that I'm young enough where it won't be a problem but I've been overweight for about 12 years and my tummy definitely looks like a deflated ballon. I don't want to have surgery just because I don't think it will be personally worth it to me. I'm thinking that some time in the future I'll start strength training to tone everything so even if there is loose skin, maybe it will look better. Thanks for the response and encouragement!!
