Sorry if this is in the wrong spot but i was wondering if there's a good way to limit the amount of excess skin you have to deal with as you lose. I need to get to 190 so sadly there's no doubt going to be some no matter what. I'll just have to live with it unless it becomes a health issue as my insurance isn't going to pay to get rid of it so i'd like to try and do what i can.

    Dramatically increase your protein intake , this will dry you up and tighten up your skin

    No.
    Strength training will help fill in some of the space with muscle.., so follow a good program like NROL or Stronglifts.
    You might be one of the genetically lucky ones whose skin snaps back.
    Either way, you will feel & look far better than you used to, so don't let skin issues discourage you.

    Cocoa butter helps with skin elasticity!

    Lose weight slowly and drink plenty of water, also moisturising might help but genetics and age plays a big part.
