Hi Everyone, so I'm worried that my lower belly fat is going to be saggy skin when I hit my goal weight...so is there anything I can do now to help prevent that. Like eating certain things and/or doing certain exercises?

    It happens well before you hit your goal weight. I don't know of any way of preventing it but if someone does I'd like to know too! It does shrink back somewhat over time if you're lucky.

    It depends how much you lose, how fast and how old you are.

    If you lose a lot you'll be more prone to saggy skin and more so if done quickly as your skin has less time to rebound. The older you are is a factor too...teen skin is resilient but not so much at 59.

    This isn't something exercise can fix. It is loose skin.
