I was wondering what is the best way to keep skin from getting loose during the weight loss process? I'm trying to lose about 30 pounds altogether and I wanted to be proactive instead of reactive.

    30 pounds shouldn't cause much (if any) loose skin.

    i think skin issues are more for people like myself who has yo-yoed my whole and has a ton to lose. but the main culprit of excess skin for people like me is losing way to quickly.

    Keep your skin moisturized- I think this helps keep elasticity. Drink your water and use a nice lotion.

    Oh - and don't lose too quickly!
