Saggy skin...?

I don't have the answers but I would like to know any good hints you get.

keep your skin hydrated, take fish oil supplements. Unfortunately if your skin won't snap back, it's predetermined and you won't be able to change much, just remember it will tighten over time your skin may not be able to keep up with your weight loss, but it will smooth out over time......

slow and steady wins the race! i've lost almost 70 pounds and My skin is less saggy than it was before i started working out. strength training, the right food, and lots of water!

I have a good deal of weight I am in the process of losing (down 40 and working on another 60.) I am extremely worried about having overly saggy skin when I am finished. I believe I am right on the brink of being able to tighten up somewhat and having to deal with saggage as well. Any pointers on how to help prevent this from happening? Products to use? I realize some of it is inevitable, but anything I can do now while losing the weight would be good!

i used palmers cocoa butter lotion the stretch mark formula it keeps my skin hydrated and i also am constantly drinking ice water. the ice helps your metabolism and the water is good for elasticity

Stay hydrated, take fish oil, and there are lots of lotions that help with skin elasticity, look for titles that include the words toning, firming, or help with cellulite.

Don't worry! You're young and your skin can easily bounce back over time. I have the same fears you do, but the closer I get to goal, the more confident I am that I will not need surgery. I moisturize a lot and do lots of strength training. My arms are still a little flappy, along with my tummy and thighs...but it really isn't that bad and I am sure that in the next year with strength training, my skin will catch up with my weight loss. It just takes TIME. Trust me, we have being young in our favor. However, I did ask my dermatologist about creams and such for stretch marks and skin texture and she said there is no miracle cream. She told me that if I hit goal weight and I am still unhappy with the appearance of my tummy, to see a laser specialist. Why can't we just have miracle creams!??!

This - plus don't lose the weight too fast - also moisturise - any good body cream - keep on lathering it on - give your skin all the help it can get...

I am nearly a 100 lbs down - and even with years of being overweight - and being on the wrong side of 50 I am amazed at how well my skin has been responding - I will defintely have a bit of "spare skin" at the end - but not too much...

Well yorur health has nothing to do with saggy skin so dont worry about it. You will still feel and look amazing. I have lost 80lbs before and i am trying to get back down again. I was also worried but all my imperfections are okay no one is perfect.
