Loose or tight skin after weight loss??

Hi ladies, I have a question…If you have a large amount of weight to lose (such as I do…I’m on a 100lb weight loss journey) What determines if my skin will be lose or tight after I lose all the weight?? I see some transformation pic’s and their skin is very tight - shrinking back with weight loss…and others have excess skin left on their body! So, I was wondering can this problem be determined or avoided at all??


Thanks in advance for your response…

    I am no expert but I have read on here drink lots of water, do not lose the weight too quickly, and strength training all help. I have also heard that even if you have lose skin after a major weight loss it can tighten a couple years after.

    Thank you! Yeah, that makes sense that it could take a while for the skin to catch up!

    Thanks for your response LessthanKris :-)

    A lot of it depends on your genetics too and how elastic your skin is. Mine isn't at all so even after losing weight and keeping it off after my first baby (was younger then too) it still was pretty saggy on my abdomen unfortunately. (Hydration is def key inside and out)
