Okay!  I'm losing belly fat, weight off of my neck and face, etc., etc.

There is an issue though:  MY THIGHS!  

Is there anyone out there that can recommend a solution for this extra flapping weight?

Compression shorts is the only thing I've heard of -- although there is some post further down about some kind of It Works wraps - but I don't know what body part they go on!  I thought losing weight was supposed to get rid our flapping thighs!  Oh well!

Nothing will get rid of loose skin, if that is what you mean, except plastic surgery.  Don't jump into it too quickly, though, especially if you are young; young skin may rebound some.  I was 55 when I had my sleeve, and I had already had a tummy tuck and breast reduction several years before after another weight loss (that I couldn't keep a-hold of!), but my bat wings!!!  ACK!  Had to have them chopped off about a year post-sleeve.  Don't even ask me about my thighs and rump, heh heh, but I will be 60 in a few months, am not married, so no one is looking at them, and I don't care :-)

Best wishes!
