    The damage, if there is any, is already done. Just lose the weight, period, sooner rather than later, and you'll have done all you can.

    This. It's possible, if you have good genetics, that your skin may tighten up on its own. Other people have to consider surgical options. Depending on how much you have to lose, might not be that much of an issue, anyway. I've lost 85 lbs, for instance, and don't seem to notice too much loose skin so far.
    Actually, a comment with regard to speed of weight loss: the faster you lose it, the greater chance of having more loose skin.

    True, but you can't really help a sudden drop in weight when you give birth. :smiley: I lost 30 pounds in 2 weeks that way once.

    My second baby did a number on my skin and I gained way less with him (30 lbs vs 67 lbs with my first) and my end weight was lower. But I was 3 years older, which I think had more to do with it.
