Introduction
A Reddit user MoniqueDH0909, shared her weight loss journey from shedding 30 lbs in 9 months. However, she expressed her concern about the excess skin caused by having two giant babies.

Comments and Tips
Most of the comments expressed admiration for her progress while others shared the same condition but refused to undergo surgery for personal reasons. Suggestions such as drinking lots of water, exercise, and watching food intake were offered. Some shared their own experience with skin tightening supplements and exfoliation.
The Impact of Having Babies on the Body
Pregnancy and childbirth can take a toll on women's bodies, mainly on the muscles, skin, and weight. Women who give birth to larger babies have a higher chance of developing excess skin. In most cases, surgery is the only option to remove the excess skin, thus leading many to undergo tummy tuck or abdominoplasty.
Losing Excess Skin and Tightening It
However, not all women opt for surgery to remove excess skin. Some have tried exfoliating and moisturizing their skin to tighten it while others have relied on supplements. Some have also tried Pilates, weight training and other exercises to help strengthen the muscles in the affected area.
Conclusion
MoniqueDH0909's journey is inspiring to many women who strive to lose weight despite having two giant babies. With determination and focus, she lost 30 lbs in 9 months, although she still needs to shed the excess skin, which could only be removed through surgery or tightened by other means. Women who are experiencing the same situation can try out the different suggested ways to tighten excess skin and learn from them through online communities like Reddit.
