I lost around 100 lbs and have somewhat lose skin and I'm 23 so I know I can still get the skin to become tighter, but have you tried anything that has seemed to work and how long did it take to tighten?

    Congratulations - a great loss and a huge positive step towards long term health. Time and exercise I suspect will be needed to address the loose skin. You are young so your skin is probably still pretty elastic. Some people on here say that their skin has taken a long time to settle but things improved gradually - those who are older have more difficulty so well done on tackling it while young.

    A lot that have had success have not just lost weight but tonnes their body through weights, that will naturally build muscle and give you shape back again as well.

    I used body scrubs on my stomach after my pregnancy and as I've been losing weight and it seems to help keep it from getting really loose. I'm doing very gradual weight loss though and working on building more muscle up
