How can the podgy stomach in one picture be the smooth sleek tummy in the next ?

I was just looking at the pictures in the adverts on the internet.
Some have 'lose 10lbs in a week' on them and a picture of quite a loose skinned tum ,with beside it a much smoother ,slimmer tum.
Well where has all the extra skin gone?
After I had my kids, my tum became normal sized again but my skin will always be just a little bit 'extra' looking because I had to have more of it to cover the bump LOL
I weigh about 120 lbs and am 5'4 .
I can't stand beside a slim 20 year old with the same weight and body fat as me and look the same in my mid section because of that.
And No I am not going to post a picture heh! you will have to use your imagination.
If you lose some weight ..do you have a sleek look ?
Where does that extra skin disappear to?

yes I think you are right.
I never realised that skin doesn't just shrink back until I saw a documentary where a man lost an awful lot of weight. I did feel sorry for him when he showed his shape and he was all saggy.
All that hard work and now he needed help to get himself looking 'normal' after all.
I think if people knew they must work so hard to lose the weight AND the excess skin
,it might put them off waiting so long before they tackle the problem.
