Loose skin

nxd10

RyaJen - I'm 55. I lost 45 pounds over 6 months and have no loose skin. I used to get a little saggy fat around every 5 pounds of loss, then it would tighten up. No massive exercise, just walking 5 miles a day. Part of it is genes. Part being tall so it's spread out. It just depends on the person. I gained and lost 55 pounds with each baby and it bounced back too. Luck of the draw.

Pu-239: If that's you, you are a brave man for posting and I admire you for it. My sister has lost 60 pounds so far with another 100 to go, and my brother-in-law has lost 114. I know this is an issue they're having, despite the happiness with the weight loss. It's a hard fact to deal with.

CW: 127lbs @ 5'4" . I lost 80lbs thru cross fit and diet. I hope to improve my mid-section but afraid that any additional weight lost will result in saggy skin. What are thoughts? Recommendations? I'm considering doing the following; low carb, pilates, jogging

All the more reason to lose at a steady pace, drink plenty of water and to do resistance training from the start.

Did all that. Still ended up with loose skin.

Male here with 45 lbs. to lose! Will I also have to contend with lose skin, or is this only a problem when you lose a lot more weight?

There is no way to say for sure. It depends on several factors: how overweight you are, how long you have been overweight, your age and genetics.
