TtThis happens alot especially if u lose weight fast or alot of it. Skin will shrink down but if u notice its getting loose u may wanna hold ur weight where u r for awhile. Healthy diet is soooo important, two must must must have foods to help with weifht lose are bellpeppers and carrots best uncooked they supply vitamins and nutrients our body needs for good skin unlike anyother eat them everyday. Surgery may be the end solution at some point but just keep in mind wen losing weight do so gradually and consistent not fast. Maybe 5lbs a month for 12 months =70 lbs. I can show u how to lose that in 6 months but then loose skin, fatigue, heart stress, possibility of those days when u feel like eating everything u see then program out the window. Dont fall for lotions and creams for skin look into 100% virgin olive oil that is cold pressed certified they have lots on amazon and u can use on ur skin, google this it is a miracle oil ive been using and it has some pretty awesome benefits for skin. Try these things if u have any questions feel free to contact me thru my profile id be glad to help. Good luck sweet heart

A mixture of fact and fiction, OP.

Analogy:

Take one square inch of skin (excised) ... medically applied to a 'bladder' and slowly inflate the bladder with air ... introduce the skin bladder to an incubated growing environment for a period of time ... and VOILA! ... the one inch skin patch will grow and stretch to completely cover the bladder. [This is, exactly, how medical staff 'grow' skin to do re-constructive surgery on, say, burn victims who have lost massive amounts of skin covering on their charred bodies. [And I DO know what I am talking about!]

^^^ That scenario is the same with the obese body. The bigger the body grows, the more fat tissue which grows under the flesh, the more the skin expands to cover the new body size.

Another 'for instance': When a baby is born it's skin covers it's body -- as the baby grows into adulthood, the skin stretches and grows to keep up with the body's growth. The baby does not put on a new set of skin at each growing cycle. Duh!

Now say that baby grew to be 200 pounds ... the skin covered that 200 pounds ... then the baby lost 100 pounds ... it wasn't skin that the baby lost ... it was FAT TISSUE. The skin remains the same size ... it doesn't shrink back to the 100 pound size of covering.

Then you have a 100 pound baby with a 200 pound baby's skin. What can be done to reduce that expanded skin size? Eat salad!? B. S.

It must be surgically 'tailored' or the baby can continue to live with the excess skin.

I concur: Do your homework, OP. Talk with your personal weight loss physician about your best alternatives which you seek to enhance your life after massive weight loss.

Good luck.

^^^Umm..... I'm calling a double personality here or a troll with multiple accounts that forgot who they were logged in as...

yes i do understand what the op is saying. i , however, do want the loose skin no matter if i lost 50 pounds. I also work out and drink lots of water. Thank you for for information.

~~OP~~ Skin has an elastic tendency.

Some skin will shrink after weight loss ...

1) for those who lose 100 or more pounds of weight will develop loose skin.

2) depending on how long a person has been overweight -- has a determination on how much loose skin one will develop upon weight loss.

3) loose skin from weight loss in an obese person cannot shrink back to normal size ... it must be excised surgically.

4) while all obese people who lose massive amounts of weight (body fat) will experience sagging breasts due to stretching of the breast muscles more women elect to have the "breast straps" shortened surgically.

5) diet and exercise alone have no impact on loose skin due to obesity.
