Do it know while you are young. Your skin *will* be be able to compensate. Just take it slowly and exercise as you go.

Good luck and stick to it.

It's great you are getting on the right track young! I wish I would have had a resource like MFP when I was your age. Definitely take it slow. I know that you are eager to lose the weight, but if you take 2 years to lose the weight, you will still only be 16. And gorgeous! I know I always would try, get frustrated because it wasn't coming off fast enough and then quit. Over and over. You will not regret taking your time and doing it right! Good luck, lady!

You're young, so your skin should compensate! I recommend also reading this article, because it might be useful:

Yes... being young plays a part of the skin coming back to "normal". Also weight training and drinking water also helps in more ways than one. It has been a month since you posted... any updates?
