Hey, I want to lose 5 stones in weight. I am about 191 Lbs. Will I get loose skin?? Where does it occur, and when?

Thanks,
Jake

    Maybe, maybe not. Wherever your skin is insufficiently elastic, or nowhere.

    Whether or not you have loose skin is dependent on genetics, the amount of weight you lose, how long you were overweight, and age. We can't really tell you for sure whether or not you will have it. However, you have youth on your side so that is a definite plus for you. Also, loose skin is not necessarily super visible and drape-y the way you might be imagining it. A lot of times, loose skin is only visible when you're doing something like a pushup with no shirt on or pulling out your skin on purpose.
