What's going to happen with my skin?

Ok, so I'm losing weight (fast), what's going to happen with all this skin in my belly area. I see all of these success stories and nobody seems to have any flabby leftover skin. Am I trippin'?

I suppose there are a couple of things that could happen, all depending on how you are accomplishing your weight loss goals.

If you are remaining hydrated and exercising then some of your skin will tighten up. This also depends on how long you have been overweight. If the skin has been stretched for a long time and you have not done anything to improve the matter it may not tighten at all. Stretch marks, if you have any, will remain on you and fade as you become thinner but will never "go away"

If you are losing weight while not maintaining a healthy diet and exercise there is a good possibility that you will have a large amount of excess skin. Again this will depend also on how long you've been overweight.

Try to eat healthy, exercise, and lubricated(lotions on the skins to help it bounce back from exercise and the changes you are going through with your weight loss). It wouldn't hurt to also do a little research and talk to your doctor to find out the chances of your skin bouncing back or sagging down.
