    Depending on how much you have to lose, it may not be completely avoidable. However, as you lose weight, strength training will help to tighten your skin some. There's also creams and other products out there, but those probably won't give you the desired results. Most importantly, you have to wait it out. Your skin may regain it's elasticity,but it will take time. Patience is key

    Losing more slowly, lift weights, stay hydrated, time and genetics are all factors.

    There's a nice little article that talks about loose skin. Definitely worth a read! I just found it and wanted to share it on a few "extra skin" related posts I've seen on here.
