OH THAT DAMN LOOSE SKIN.. WHAT TO DO.?????

I bought my daughter StriVectin, and she said it is tightening her skin. I bought her the product for the body and face. She came to the house last evening and I saw a marked difference in her face. She is 35 years old, and has lost a considerable amount of weight. The skin around the belly area was sagging the worst. According to her this is helping. As with anything, you need to be consistent. Just a note...she exercised, but lost the weight quickly. If you are going to lose the weight quickly I would suggest using the product.

I am losing weight at a steady pace by applying the suggestions in the book, "Wheat Belly." I am also incorporating information in books researched by Suzanne Somers. I bought her FaceMaster, which is a micro current that stimulates and stregthens the muscels in the face creating lift...it does work.

Trying to eat fresh foods instead of processed and packaged foods. I am also taking vitamins and minerals which are on Suzanne's website. Drinking more water. Haven't really started exercising, but when I do I have read that over exercising has a reverse affect as far as building health as free radicals are released in the bloodstream. So, I am going to do a little more than moderate cardio and alternate with weights six days a week.

I have lost 35 pounds since August 5, 2012 and have 100 to go. Hope to have lost that by the end of next year, but if it takes longer I will not be discouraged. Just going to keep my eyes on the PRIZE.....a strong, healthy body and new clothes! Oh, and looking in the dressing room mirror without sighing. YEAH! thats incentive times infinity.

Bermuda shorts and 3/4 sleeve shirts are your friends.

There's nothing you CAN do about loose skin short of surgery to remove it. Whether you'll have it and how bad is determined by a combination of genetics, age (our skin gets less elastic over time), how overweight you were, how long you were overweight, and where you carry your weight.

I'm the bigger loser in most of those categories and have huge amounts of loose skin on my arms and legs. I plan to do nothing about it. The one area where loose skin sometimes NEEDS to be removed (rather than cosmetically wanting it removed) is on folks who carried a lot of weight in their belly area and develop a droopy apron of skin there.

Lifting weights can improve the appearance of loose skin somewhat, although it doesn't actually do anything for the skin itself. What it does is simply put some muscle in to fill in some of the space the fat left behind, thereby filling out some of the skin. But it's also good for you, so I recommend it.

Make some lamp shades.

Friend of Ed Gein are you? Hahahahaha thanks for the laugh

I would get surgery in a heartbeat. I know a woman who had her arms done and it completely changed her life and self esteem and i found the results to look very natural. If i ever run in to this issue best believe I'll have a plastic surgeom on speed dial!

The thing about loose skin is that only you and your significant other see it. With fat, everyone sees it.

So true and well said.

I want to wear a bikini one day, I have lost about 15 kgs, my youngest child is 4, and I am 45 years old. I am looking good in clothes, but would love to have a six pack, because now I am really working on getting fit not just fitting into "those" jeans. I didn't get any stretch marks with my 2 children so maybe I have good skin, but nothing seems to be shrinking.

Not exactly....

look up jeremy yost on youtube he lost over 180lbs without surgery and it doesnt look that bad but each to their own

Would the lose skin bother you on your mate if just you and your mate could see it?

I lost 77 lbs in four months and am starting to see my stomach flap shrink. Not using anything but will start using cocoa butter:flowerforyou:

You look maaarvelous!
