Loose skin after weight loss..
Do any of you have problems with loose skin and have you done anything to prevent it?
Personally, I do not have this problem yet, but I might in the future... |

It's difficult. I struggled with it when I lost weight the first time -- I HATED how I looked in the mirror. I will probably struggle with it again if I ever lose the weight again. :^: |
I just figure I will cross that bridge WHEN and IF I get there. First things First!
|
I plan to do plastic surgery when I get to goal. I'm too young for my body to look like this lol

I was worried about this, I'm only 29 and would love to be able to wear a bikini again- I've been drinking tons of water and also using coco butter all over my body, but I've always put lotion on my entire body every day. I do have a teeny bit of saggy skin- nothing terrible yet. My tummy is my main problem area, I'm sure there will be some saggy skin there when I'm at goal or lower as I don't think I'll be content at goal weight....but you know what, I'm healthier, happier and feeling stronger mentally and physically than I have in years so I try not to let it bother me so much.....another thing I think is that I would like to get pregnant in the next two or three years and that alone will probably do a bit of a number on my tummy so why sweat the inevitable. :)

Thank you ladies for your response. Do any of you already see loose skin as you have lost some weight? I want to compare after how many lbs saggy skin has appeared in different individuals.
|
I have some in my upper arms and stomach (I've had 2 kids, also). I attribute a lot of the stomach sag to too much wine - I've heard that it goes straight to your stomach. I'm 6'1" and am 37 years old. Most everything has snapped back pretty well. I take MSM which "supposedly" helps - I'm doing everything I can!! :-)

Don't worry about loose skin! Loose skin is way easier to camaflouge than being obese or fat!
|
I think about it but honestly I'd rather deal with the skin then the fat in it! I'm hoping to cross that bridge when I get there. :)

My neck doesn't look like I would like, but then again I am almost 58. My neck is truly much smaller than when I started so it still looks better. However, if it continues to change along this route, I will likely be looking for a way to make improvements -- besides the turtle necks I love to wear in the winter! Summer is a different ballgame so no turtle necks then!

I personally believe that people should do whatever makes them happy! I would not do surgery under any cirumstences, but I am in my 20's and do not think I will have a huge amount of skin, and whatever I have, will tighten with time. I have a co-wroker who lost a lot more weight than I have to lose, and he said it was a problem with him for a little bit, but it all came back. Now he looks great (mid 30's).

It follows the same lines as Anita Renfroe's "Wrinkled Ladies" video on YouTube. Great humor! |

Anita Renfroe is the best -- she came to our church a couple years ago. Always good for a "pick me up".
