Will I get loose skin after weight loss?

cherrychubbs

I'm only 18, 5'7, 181 lbs and my goal weight is 130 lbs. I'm on a calorie controlled diet, normal healthy eating, all that stuff. I'm just really scared to get loose skin because I can't afford the money to get surgery if it happens. Will I get loose skin, even if I do workouts such as zumba, 30 day shred etc. ?

i have loose skin, it sucks...i wont be getting it fixed, i cant afford it either
i think its just becomes more likely the more weight you loose, the older you are, if you've been overweight for a long time and if you dont do any exercise while losing.
i did the 30 day shred and i really think it helped, i think drinking lots of water and moisturizing and massaging your skin help a bit too.
from the amount of weight you want to lose i dont rekken you'll get loose skin

If you're 18, you haven't got a problem. Your skin will snap back pretty quickly.

At 42 years old, and having lost over 50 pounds myself, I've got barely any loose skin to speak of.

It depends mostly on genetics and how quickly you lose it. Slow is best.

You can also add a lifting program to your exercise routine. Even your own body weight is better than nothing at all. There are lots of body weight exercises online.
