From FAT Fu*k to nice cut 6 pack

Im wondering how some people go from being really fat to having a really cup up six pack. When your fat, the skin straches out and when you loose weight theres little extra strached out skin.

Depends on how fat one was. 20 lbs overweight isn't that much, and one's skin shouldnt stretch that much. Even 40 lbs overweight shouldnt have that much stretched skin. But whenever you lose fat, skin does retract (to a certain point of course). Also, do not forget about increased muscle mass after being fat, which ends up evening out the skin issue.

ok, i was wondering because i was over weight up till 16 years old and i weight in at 205 lbs at 5'8" prob not sure how tall i was. When i decided its time to drop weight i droped 60lbs and no muscle. Now im 24 years old, with 10-11% body fat(never could get it lower for some reason) at 190 lbs. I have a six pack but my lower part has little extra skin i guess or still little fat?, it doesnt look bad but im trying to see if i can totally get rid of for next summer.
