So I just started my weight loss journey. I started at 205 lbs and my goal is 125. My question is will I have extra skin?? I know this won't really matter because I will be healthy and active but I just wonder.

You will never know until you try but don't let that discourage. It could tighten up eventually or you may not have any loose skin at all. Love yourself❤️1

Depends on age, genetics, how long you have been overweight. Impossible to say, really.0

Are you ready for this?
You already have extra skin. You just won't notice it until you've lost the weight.
BAM!

Depends on many factors, genetics, age, amount of weight loss, skin elasticity due to history of any repeated massive gains/losses etc. One thing to note though, while initially there may be excess loose skin, over time for some people their will be a degree of skin 'shrinkage or tightening'.0

Yes you will. The younger you are the more it will tighten over time. Take care of ur skin, eat healthy fats, stay hydrated. It may take 2 years to shrink as much as it ever will.0
