Self-image problems... =( Please help

[IIXXEE]

I lost A LOT of weight. I am 16 years old, weigh about 168-172... (around that plateau) and I am 67 inches tall. (5"7" wink

I had man boobs, thighs, teh gut... >.>
It wasn't fun. I was manically depressed during the whole damn thing, but it pushed me to exercise. So I did, and I went from 224 to where I am now. Problem is, it still looks like I have slight man boobs. So I investigated, and I found that if I pinch about an inches worth of my breast, it's all skin! It's like that with my stomach too, and especially on my upper arms. When I bend my arms or flex them, it sometimes jiggles a little and looks flabby >.>.

All I want is to be flat chested. People have said to tone it with weight training, but that will make me look bulky! I do not want to look bulky... >.> =(

Anyone know how to remedy this problem? Any experience? Please help! :A

Dude, just work out. It will all come with time. Cardio mainly if you don't want to bulk up too much.

Bulky does NOT suit me. Trust me...

Holy crap, this site is holy.
After watching that Extreme Makeover episode where a man lose over 200 pounds and had ton of loose skin, I thought I would be doomed to have loose skin when I lose my weight. surprised

Thanks for the link.
I'm loosing weight right now, and this is really helpful.

I don't know much about weight training, but I think that if you limit the amount of weight you use to tone yourself, you'll be okay. Or instead of doing that, maybe you can try yoga or something to tone your muscles instead of building them. Push ups might help.

congrats on loseing the weight! dont worry about the losse skin though, if you keep at it, it will be gone in no time!! just think to yourself " I can do this!!" and keep it up! you'll do great!
