Any suggestions to help reduce extra skin do to significant weight loss? I have lost about 70 pounds over the last 6 months. I go to kickboxing class, so I do exercise. I do not want to have surgery. It is extremely frustrating because, even though I should be extremely psyched about losing the weight ( more to go), I look in the mirror and am not happy. Your tips or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

    It really depends on genetics. For some people, time will help. You can give genetics a little boost with proper hydration, both in h2o and lotions.

    Strength training may also help, but last I knew, the studies are inconclusive.
