Like a sweater: The "sag" is due to loss of elasticity, particularly collagen and elastin. It is something we all face with significant weight loss ... But don't focus too much on it. Focus on your achievement and health. I have lost over 100 lbs and know all about skin sag =) but always refocus on the positive side and how far you have come. Be proud of who you are. Skin sag is a reminder of your success.
