    Great read, thanks. Of course, I loved the comparison because I have two Shar peis of my own (not counting the extra skin on my body)

    I actually have been using it for a month. I mix it with Shea butter. I've noticed a huge difference in my stretch marks and loose skin.

    Lifting heavy weights and time. I lost very quickly with excessive cardio in the beginning and it was BAD. My skin had a lot of hanging in the stomach(2 c sections and 1 was 9lbs so I already had stretch marks and skin stretch anyway), the tricep area and my thighs. The belly took about a year after beginning maintenance and tons of ab classes and it got better....same with the triceps. The thighs are a work in progress, but running hills is helping. Just be patient and add weights during your loss and it will works itself out over time.

    I've looked into this a lot and this is what seems to be the reality.

    There are a lot of factors involved in whether your loose skin will rebound or not so there is no one pat answer.

    How much you lost. - The more you had to lose, the less likelihood for rebound.
    How long you were fat. - The longer you were fat the less likelihood for rebound.
    Your age. - The older you are, the less likelihood for rebound.
    Your skin's natural resilience.

    Also note that it may only partialy rebound.

    If it's going to rebound, it probably will take a little while, so give it some time.
    Lotions and such can't hurt and may actually work, and I've heard a lot of good feed back regarding strength training.

    Hi, I have lost 75 pounds, gone from an 18 to a 5/6. I have been taking collagen, and working out and between the two my skin is tightening up. Hope this helps.
