Helping saggy skin?

I am early in my weight loss journey. But when all is said and done I will want to have lost 75-85lbs. I am so worried about getting unsightly loose skin when all is said and done. I am upping my calories so I'm not losing more than 1lb a week, trying to encorporate weights, trying to stay hydrated and moisturizing my skin every other day (every day and it starts to feel greasy). But when I gained I have stretch marks that are now smaller but I know will never go away and my skin is kind of flabby in those areas. Anyone try one of those tightening creams or seaweed wraps or anything that may help it appear more toned? I want to tackle it now before it may become an issue later!

Save your money. Tightening cream litterally tighten as they dry- but the effect is only temporary. Seaweed wraps compress water out of the skin so it appears firmer- but again the effetc is only temporary. If you have lots of loose skin at the end and it's uncomfortable the only option is surgery- BUT it may not get to that stage, so don't worry- you seem to be doing everything right so far.0
