Edit: Not worth it to give the drama being sought.
just stay off of my threads. . . jesus christ!
You do realize that this is a public internet forum? Also that posting a message addressed to people who were "butt holes" to you in the original really is encouraging them to respond? Just to be clear.
I understand that, and honestly, i wasn't rude to anyone (until they got rude with me of course) and i don't care how public this forum is, there is no need to be a di_ck (NOT REFERRING TO YOU)
No one was being rude in your original thread until you started getting upset.
or so you feel. . .you said my post was "redundant" and a cry for attention. . .
i just wanted the posters from the ORIGINAL THREAD to understand why i was concerned about the loose skin, and let them see where i was coming from. . .
Do you understand what redundant means? It means needlessly repeated. For instance: Obvious troll is obvious. Using obvious twice makes it redundant. And yes, the fact that you posted the same thread twice when your original thread is still on the first page points to a cry for attention.
And really, you were given answers ad nauseum in your original thread. I will give you the Cliffnotes.
It is impossible to say since loose skin is determined by skin elasticity, which is determined by genetics and other factors.
Staying moisturized may help.
Your health is more important than your vanity.
You will probably look better after you have lost the weight despite any potential loose skin.
re·dun·dant
/riˈdəndənt/
Adjective
No longer needed or useful; superfluous
(of words or data) Able to be omitted without loss of meaning or function.
NOTHING IN THE DEFINITION SAYS ANYTHING ABOUT REPETITION.
and the thread wasn't for more advice, it was FOR THE PEOPLE WHO WERE RUDE IN THE ORIGINAL POST!!!!! CAN YOU READ OR WHAT???????????????
Fixed it for you.

/thread.
I am so tired of seeing this come up when real people need real diet and weight loss help.
Superfluous (soo-PER-floo-uhs) means "more than required." Use it when pointing out something that could be removed without detracting from the quality of something: "For a climb over a glacier, the very thickest shoes are absolutely necessary; beyond these, all else seems superfluous to me," wrote the adventurer Charles Stoddard in 1899. The word comes from Latin and literally means "overflowing": super, "over" + fluere, "to flow." So you can think of a superfluous addition as flowing over the boundaries of what's needed.
still nothing about repetition

Definition of REDUNDANT
1
a : exceeding what is necessary or normal : superfluous

d chiefly British : no longer needed for a job and hence laid off0 -
I went from 270 something down to 195 and started noticing sagging skin around 200 pounds. I was 22 when that happened. It can happen even if you're young and I definitely understand your concern about it.
a lot of people said that the skin eventually tightens itself up, is that true?
Your skin's reaction is genetic. You'll get your best guess by looking at your mom or siblings. If that's not an option, there's no definite answer, but stretch marks can give you an idea if you gained weight rapidly over a short period of time, such as pregnancy or stress-eating after a traumatic event. People can only tell you what THEIR body does.
I gained 38 lbs when I was pregnant. The first stretchmark showed up at 5 months after gaining only 18 lbs. My mom was covered in belly stretchmarks. When I lost the weight, the skin did not ever shrink back. i was 5'8" and 125 lbs with a big, droopy flap of skin that overlapped my privates and laid on my lap when I sat down. That's just the genetic card I was dealt. I used to call my belly the elephant butt. It even hung over my belly button, hiding it completely with an upper hang to match the lower hang.
My case is extreme, but I could look at my mom and know how it was going to be for me. Nobody I asked gave me the right answer for me personally.0 -

OMG considering I didn't type that, and dictionary.com did... OKAY what ever you say
Everything that you have posted is saying REPETITION in so many words. It's screaming it, in fact, to anyone who has even the slightest reading comprehension.
The fact that you have to look up a word like redundant is saddening in and of itself, really.0 -
Oh good, another thread on this topic. I was just dying to hear more about this, thank you for the update. Please post another rebuttal tomorrow if you have some free time.0

If you wrote this for those who were rude to you, you're wasting your breath. Should have just posted this in your original thread.0

Wow! Do some of you people have kids? Are they bullies like you?? There are dozens of new threads posted throughout the day. If you don't like what you read, just move on! Need "serious" diet advice? Read one of the other hundred threads! I thought this site was to help and support people!0

You could have just sent me a link, I would have gotten the people to come in to your thread for you.
I'm a helper. :flowerforyou:0 -
You're assuming I read your original post. I haven't nor will I.
This thread really IS redundant then.0 -

cheers to that:drinker: I was only posting this so that they could see my point of view, but i guess only their point of view is valid, because this is a communist country0 -
I'm starting at 286, 5'2", and 27 years old. I'm probably going to have loose skin on my thighs, arms, and stomach because I need to lose about 150 pounds. BUT, I don't want to die at an early age (and my husband wouldn't want that either), so I'm going to lose weight and live with my loose skin :-)
I'm going to try and use lots of lotion, I'm drinking tons of water, I'm lifting and toning, and not going crazy with the weight loss (1-2 pounds a week is what I'm aiming for). I'm sure that I won't love the loose skin, but I'm sure that I'll love my health more. But who knows, maybe I'll be lucky and it won't be too bad!
Good luck to you on your journey
To OP:
do exactly what this person is doing!
She's got it right 0 -

and so are you, considering you are not a part of the original thread. Because the title of this thread is For some of those who responded to "super serious question"...and you are NOT a person who responded to "super serious question...so there fore, you are redundant0 -
