    Try and moderate your weight loss as skin seems to cope better tha way. And I use bio-oil on my saggy bits, twice a day (when I remember). I heard good stuff about nip+fab creams, but apparently the effects stop when you stop using it. Skin brushing is good too. Hope this helps!

    It depends on how much you have lost and how old you are and how long you have been obese. I have lost 123 lbs in the last year and have saggy skin. I have been obese my entire life and I am 49 years old. I have exercised during my weight loss and recently joined a gym to do the weight machines to tone up but I know that my saggy skin will only retract so much since I have been obese all my life. I am hoping the weights help along with doing cardio too but am realistic too. Would love to have plastic surgery after I have reached my personal goal weight and maintained but it is very expensive. Maybe one day!
    Good luck!
