So I'm on week 5(recovery week) of Insanity. Loving it. Losing weight, looser clothing, ect. Body's feeling great. Been watching my calories with MFP. One issue though is I've noticed a significant amount of loose skin around my belly area. When I do push ups without a shirt it looks like a bowling bowl is hanging underneath me. lol

Has anyone else had this problem? Is there much I can do about the the loose skin? is it something that just takes time to bounce back on its own?

    Yes and no. If you have lost a significant amount of fat quickly than loose skin comes with the territory. Some of of it will tighten up with time but if you have alot than there is a chance some of it will hang around.

    There are some things you can do. Lots of water, to help your skin retain elasticity , and weight training to help fill the empty space with muscle will both go along way.
