Hi everyone so I have a little over 100lbs to loose! I'm terrified about having a load of excess skin, I'm young 18 years old and I am 5ft3. Does anyone have any tips for preventing excess skin? ~thanks

    Don't lose too fast and Exercise everyday will help.

    Lose the weight relatively quickly, since skin elasticity declines with age. The only downside is it may look looser during the 2-3 years it can take for skin to snap back.

    No magic lotions, potions or other tricks. :+1:
