Will I have "loose skin" when I lose weight?

Question

I'm 16 & I'm overweight.  I've lost 8 lbs so far and trying to lose about 50. Will I have loose skin when I lose weight? If I do how do I get rid of it?

Answer

You shouldn't if you lose weigh true right way. Often the loose skin comes from crash dieting and trying to lose weight too fast. Just try ribose yourself and do it the healthy way (eat right and exercise) and you should be fine ;) good luck!!

Answer

It depends on how you lose the weight; if you lose the weight by exercising then you won't have loose skin, if you are losing the weight threw weight loss pills then you might have loose skin..

Answer

No I lost 80kgs and while I had loose skin at time I was sick and dehydrated   Moment I figured out what was wrong and got fluid I put on 5 kgs and filled out most of skin rest could be fixed with exercise tho I'm just to lazy

Answer

On a positive note:I have a ton of stretch marks from my last pregnancy but even though I lost all the weight and got back to my prepregnancy weight (a sad small 100 pounds) I had no loose skin and no bump on my lower abdomen. If I can loose forty pounds after birth and go back to normal so can you :) especially if you work hard or muscle build up and eat healthy.

On a bad note my mother had kids too close together and was told she was disfigured by childbirth. She would never be able to get back to the size she was unless she got what is called a corset stitch down her stomach. Her muscles had literally been stretched apart she had loose skin even though she lost the weight . So it is possible to have loose skin.

Answer

You're very young so probably not. I lost around 50 no loose skin but I went from barely overweight to under weight and was several years older so YMMV. (Ps almost at my high weight now! haha)

Answer

You're 16, you've still got some growing to do so don't worry too much about it.

Answer

It's possible depending on how over weight you are. The only way loose skin can be fixed is with surgery to remove it.

Answer

No you wont
