Love to know what others do, too.

I know losing weight rapidly and especially with advancing age, it will sag. But, the way we are losing ... slowly ... and, the good nutrition, should help to avoid some of the sag.

Other things to do....keep up the water, moisturize and enjoy the slow pace of weight loss....that along with the weight training will help the skin sag....massage also helps, too!!!!

Ive lost almost 30 lbs and so far, no sag except the bat wings on my arms. Uugh!

Me too! The no sag is the one thing I do appreciate about losing weight slowly!!!!!

Very very true, Koala.

Since you are young, it should be easier to tone it up. Do exercises using weights. Do sit ups, planks, and push ups. Unfortunately, I waited until I was in my 40s to get serious about weight loss. I have a little apron of fat around my belly from having children that just hangs there. BUT, I was once 246 pounds, and now I am 170. The sagging skin is not nearly as noticeable as the fat body was.

What I've been learning is to do squats and other body weight exercises to tone up the thighs, hamstrings and glutes. Most people don’t focus on leg exercises enough, which is a big mistake as the thighs and hamstrings have the potential to be the most powerful muscles in the body. Planks can be helpful as well as crunches for abs and belly. We can ward off some of the sag, but depending on how much was gained, how fast it was lost, age, etc I'm still expecting sag tho. You can hide sag with clothes, you can't hide fat.
