Has anyone had any problems with loose skin? I've lost 30 pounds so far and haven't had any problems...yet. I'm only 18 and I'm afraid that once I lose the 70 pounds I'm aiming for I'll be too self conscious to wear the clothes I've been longing for. Since I'm still young, my skin should hopefully bounce back fairly well. I've heard stories of people that lose 50+ pounds that have tons of loose skin after their weight loss. A few even gained more weight on purpose to fill out their skin a bit...I'm losing the weight fairly slowly and haven't had any problems yet...should I be worried?

    At your age, you shouldn't have any problem, especially if you don't lose really fast. Two pounds a week is more than enough. Now at my age, it's a problem. :smile:

    At 18 it should firm back up with no problem! Good for you getting healthy now.
