i know every body is different, but im really scared that after i hit my goal weight im going to have to have surgery to remove extra skin :( im trying to be as active as possible, but right now its mainly been walking. i have some hand weights, and resistance bands but ive been kinda lazy and i dont know why.
im 5'6, 258ish.. mostly belly fat that im trying to lose and i have a little "pooch" that hangs down.. ive reduced it in the past when i was doing 30 day shred, i just dont know if itll go away

    You and I are the same age so we have elasticity on our side. I just posted a blog about my weird tummy!

    I find that my skin/fat will get all loose like this after a big whoosh of weight loss then tightens up over the following months.

    I have gone from 266 to 176 and I don't have any loose skin. I do have a bunch of fat left on my stomach but I wouldn't say it's loose skin.

    i dont want to sound harsh but come on put in the work to make sure it doesnt happen!
    try interval running, great full body toner. start at 30 sec running. 90 seconds power walking. do that for 15-20 minutes or however long you can do. then up the running time when you get used to it. and weight training.
