    It's the opposite of true. The more you jiggle, the worse the likely outcome for your skin shrinking back. Compression gear FTW.

    This. When I first began running I wore a compression garment to keep my heavy, squishy belly in place for the same reason I wore a good sports bra: to prevent the sort of mechanical damage to connective tissue that could leave me with more stretch marks and a worse sag than I already had. It didn't interfere in any way with the loss of the fat and was no longer needed once the fat was gone.

    I didn't expect to find any advice on this thread. I need something like that for my workouts. My belly flops against my upper thighs. It's pretty annoying.

    My school principle told us if we stood in a corner and held one arm bent in the air while eating chocolate the calories would fall out our elbows.

    Just because someone said it doesn't mean it's true.

    Anyone else remember that old timey exercise machine you see in movies? It's like a white towel that goes around your bum and it giggles the hell out of you.
    Anyone?
    I use it every morning.

    No. But you should still jiggle it for fun.

    That's actually really helpful. I have been wondering about those. I am down 49 lb and my belly is getting..well...jiggly, so I'm worried about the skin thing. Thanks.

    Ohhhh, I remember seeing pictures of ladies lined up in those jiggle-belt machines. Priceless!

    Yeah, and they're back. I saw a recent infomercial with this thing that was eerily similar to those old things. Not quite the same, but similar.

    water aerobics and swimming is a lot easier on your joints and might be more helpful than a treadmill for now.

    They had one of these at the Vitamin Shoppe here locally. The rep was there trying to sell me one, it took all I had to not laugh in his face and embarrass him in front of the whole store.

    For your bad knees - I would recommend Treadmill at an incline, elliptical machine / cross trainer, swimming and water aerobics.
    Lots of walking (not running or jogging!) - maybe do something like ¨Winsor Pilates¨ (or anything else that is similar) to strengthen your core (also there are some nice exercises that will help shape the legs, arms etc without any pressure on your knees).
    If you are interested in strengthening your knees, just look for videos etc online, there are some very nice ones that show you how to warm them up, make them stronger and work out without hurting yourself.

    Good Luck! (and I don´t think that jiggling will work, seen the machines too, but a change of lifestyle like eating healthy and moving around a lot is in my opinion a much better solution.)
