    Strength training with weights. Or if you have the funds and can swing it, a personal trainer. I love mine. I am wearing smaller clothes than I have worn in 20 yrs but am at a higher weight. I dieted for 8 weeks on my own with no trainer and lost 14 lbs then I started with the trainer and in the next 8 weeks I lost 24 lbs. Almost double the weight in the same time frame. I totally swear by a trainer if you find one you like.

    She is right. My husband has lost 40 and I have lost 50 pounds neither of us have loose skin but we both exercise everyday. We are using Wii Fit which has aerobic and strength training. You need to find a way to tone your body as you loose weight, Whether you get a trainer, go to the gym, buy some weights and use them, what ever it takes to keep your skin elastic as you loose,.
