Mid 20s, 150lb weight loss journey

I'm 32 years old and my doctor recommended a good skin creme to help with that. I have quite a bit more to lose myself and I'm starting to get the lpose skin under my arms and at the belly so I'm just trying to keep it moisturized. I think the bottom line is, everyone's body is different. I've seen people lose 150 lbs and they don't have a lot of skin and some lose 80 and they have tons of skin hanging so it really just depends on you.

I'm going to be 29 next week thursday (Thanksgiving ) and a few years ago I lost 100 pounds. I'm 5'10" and my starting weight was at least 289. I lost on average 1-2 pounds a week and it took me maybe a year (?). I actually never paid attention to the timeline.

I have been maintaining for about 2 years now and have about 30-40 pounds I"m looking to kick now.

I have a very small amount of excess skin on my stomach. A very small amount. Once I flatten out my stomach and tone up, if it's still there I am goign to look into having it removed as I've worked so hard to get where I am. However, if you have a little extra skin it will eventually tighten up at least a bit (i heard to give it a year) and then if you can't have it removed just be proud and use it as a memory of how far you've come!

I agree though you *should* be fine!! Good luck!

I've lost 67lbs so far, with lots of exercise, and I'm 31. I keep my skin moisturized and I drink plenty of water. I still have another 20-40lbs I want to lose, but I don't have any sagging skin. As I'm losing weight, sometimes I can see spots that look more loose than before, but after a month or so (with my continued hardcore workouts) it appears toned again. A lot of research has shown that if you moisturize, stay hydrated and just keep toning - that your skin can make a pretty good recovery (especially since you are still so young). They say to never consider skin removal surgery until after 2-3 years of weight loss, because sometimes it just takes your skin a little bit to "catch up".
