scared of flabby skin

[youngmamttc]

I need to lose 100lb to get to 129lb and im so scared that such a big weight loss will leave me with a huge huge lot of saggy skin, anything i should do to try and avoid this as much as possible? xx

I think the main thing to help would be not to loose weight too fast, a nice steady 2lbs a week would give your skin a chance to shrink back with your body its probably unlikely that ur skin will snap back like an elastic band (I think that's very rare!) but slow weightloss and good moisturisation should help

Xxx

as above really, I lost 105 pounds total and didn't have excess skin at the end

Slow and steady definately helps as does keeping up regular exercise

Lose weight slowly and do weight training to help replace the fat with muscle. I lost 113 pounds in the past and didn't have any saggy skin after.
