Hi!!!

I´m 23 and in my weight loss path and have lost 43 pounds so far in the last 4 months and have 62 more to reach my goal.

I'm very scared about loss skin, I know it will happen any way but many people have told me that if I drink collagen that will help allot with this.


Has any body tried it before? Has it worked?

    I haven't heard of collagen to help with that.

    Loose skin is usually based on genetics... other factors are the amount overweight someone is and how long they were overweight. How quickly you take the weight off also affects it.

    Take it slow and lose the weight slowly so the skin has time to shrink back as best as possible. Do strength training as well which will help.
