Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

I currently wear 34 waist , comfortably, with nothing hanging over. Is it realistic for ALL the flab around my middle to disappear, or will that only occur at my age (47) with surgery (which I wouldn't bother). My top weight was about 80 lbs heavier than now, so I don't know how much shrinkage I can expect. So far, skin is tight.
Does it ALL disappear (the flab), or do you have a residual effect shall we say. It isn't like I am going to be a model or anything, but I am curious.
You should have some body far as a reserve. It sounds like you are approaching your ideal based on what you've said about your structure.
