I think that just happens to people who were REALLY big like 400 lbs or more..that's what I think because I used to weight more than you (210) and I don't see any excess skin..even if I haven't reached my goal weight yet, it's not there and as long as you get toned and sculpt your body AND eat right you will be fine. Good luck!~
