I can't find another thread on this here......but am wondering if anyone has experienced loose skin as a result of losing weight so quickly with Dukan. I have lost the first 20 very slowly but just started Dukan so hope to take off the next 35 rather quickly.....ever the optimist :bigsmile: but wondering about loose skin too especially since I am 63. Anyone? Thanks!

    Thanks sweetie.....I think I am beyond worrying about this now LOL My mind works overtime sometimes :laugh: I know I will never have a bikini bod again and that is okay. I really just need to be healthy and look good in clothes :bigsmile:

    I am so glad you have been so successful! You are such an inspiration!! Thank you soooooo much for sharing! What do you think has helped you the most to be so successful? :flowerforyou: Dyanna
  • No loose skin - 35 pounds lighter.

    A few of my friends have lost a significant amount of weight on Dukan, and no one seems to have the skin issues. I have seen an increase in some stretch marks on my thighs, but am being quite vigilant with the Palmers cocoa butter :embarassed:

    I know a few people who have had gastric bypass surgery and the lap band procedure … they ALL have the huge skin folds. But, they also weren't committed to working out and exercising along with their weight loss. t know that type of procedure has been a Godsend for some people … those who truly need it, and have honestly tried everything else. However, it's hard not to see it as almost "cheating" because I look at all of the hard work and dedication that my friends, my husband and I have put into Dukan, and our weight loss and overall health results are far better than the surgery folks.
