They shed pounds with weight-loss jabs - but then came the loose skin

BBC News

After losing nearly six stone since December with the help of weight-loss injections, Emilly Murray has been left with an unwanted reminder of her former body - loose skin. I can't wear what I want to wear, says the 35-year-old from Liverpool. I cannot get my legs out because the skin hangs over my knee so much. While she doesn't regret losing weight for the benefit of her health, Emilly says the loose skin on her thighs really does get me down as it makes her feel self-conscious, and the way she looks naked makes her feel like a catfish. It looks okay when it's all pulled in, but then I feel like, when I take my clothes off, I look like a 90-year-old woman.
