I'm a cardio maniac. But when out comes to strength training I'm not convinced.. i have lost 80 pounds and loose skin is an issue. I've got 40 pounds left to go. Will it even out as i go or do i need to just bite the bullet and lift weights. I'll do anything to tighten even drop my cardio addiction. Not totally though. But where do i start? And be honest will i gain weight at first or will it just come off? I'm not afraid of weights in just not addicted as much as i am with cardio. and please add me

    I'm not an expert, so I'll j just add to your question. Does losing weight too fast lead to loose skin?

    Strength training will help. So will time. If you're young your skin should bounce back, but if you're almost at 80 lbs lost, that's a lot of loose skin. Definitely talk to you doctor about since in a lot of cases with a large amounts of skin, surgery is the best option. However, I have these tips for skincare that might help. Just be patient. A lot of times the skin will just take a bit more time to catch up to your body.
