Guys you only get loose skin if you loose weight too fast. Did you know your only supposed to loose 1/2-1lb a week?!?! I've talked to my Dr about this because i was worried about it too. Shes also the one who pointed this app out to me!

    This isn't always the case, if your skin has been stretched for a long period of time and you are older and you are genetically predisposed you may have loose skin regardless. I have lost 48 lbs averaging 1-2lbs a week and currently have some loose skin, though I am hopeful it will tighten up over time as the skin under my chin was loose for a while but is now non-existent.

    The majority of the loose skin I have is from pregnancy. It was there before I started losing and it hasn't really changed 65+ lbs later.

    This is not true.

    Maybe you should elaborate?
