If you weigh 196 lbs and you loose weight over the course of 5 months down to 130-140 will there be loose skin

Will i be able to get a lean nice body without loose skin and maybe some abs? I've gone down from 240 to 196 and know im ready to get down to the 140's. So far i havent had loose skin.

if you are over 30 it is likely, but may not always happen just depends on your heritage
Reply:A weight lotss of 100 pounds may leave some loose skin, how much would mainly depend on your skin's elasticity.
Reply:It's very possible. The recommendation for weight loss is approximately 1 pound a week, more than that and you run the risk of sagging skin. Exercise will help keep things tight to a degree though.
Reply:Loosing weight that quickly is not very healthy. There is a possibility of some loose skin, but a comprimised immune system or the conditioning of ones body to more adequately store fat are much greater concerns. 1-2 lbs. a week or 10% over a 6 month period are the recomended guidlines for weightloss.
Reply:Yes it is possible, since you are a male why don't you you bulk up with muscles instead. But please remember that muscle weighs more than fat, but muscle burns fat faster. Just don't not lose weight too fast it is not health and you might just gain it all back. Do it healthy with exercise and I think you would be pleased. I weight 230 and dropped down to 135 and I did not have lose skin, but I worked out often. Good Luck!!


When losing a lot of weight how to avoid loose skin?

I am starting some type of a weight loss plan that I can live with- not sure just what yet. I do know that I am giving myself until February 2009 to hopefully see my end results- or VERY close to them. I have a lot of weight to lose- based on the BMI I need to lose around 155 pounds... so around 11-12 pounds a month on average. On major concern I have is I am wanting to avoid the extreme loose skin that I see a lot of people have. I am young (25) and hope that might help somehow. What can I do to avoid this? Also, any really great exercises I can do? I have like NO time, I work 2 jobs and live in a town that has no fitness centers- a town of about 800- closest city is almost an hour away, so I will not buy a membership. I will feel embarrassed walking around town, as people will watch- but I need to suck it up I guess. Anything I can do in the house that is awesome??? Any words of wisdom from someone who has done this?? Anything will help! Thank you!

All I know is if you lose it slowly like 2 pounds a week and do a little bit of strength training or light weights to tone up or tighten your skin you should have no problem with loose skin.
Reply:i heard eating soy increases the elasticity in your skin. you should eat some soy milk, soy bars, and tofu...maybe some lotion with soy extract in it. la weight loss has really good bars and the calories aren't that bad.


Is there a way to get insurance to pay for loose skin removal?

If I lost 150 lbs and am now left with some unsightly loose skin. Is there any loop whole to get insurance to cover loos skin removal?

Is there a way to get insurance to pay for loose skin removal?
Check into donating the skin to burn victims. The receiving charity may pay for the removal, since you will be donating the skin to their patients.
Reply:I am not aware of any insurance loophole for removal of loose skin. A surgery to remove loose skin would be under the heading of "cosmetic" surgery.





If you could somehow prove that having that loose skin is a tangible, omnipresent threat to your long-term health, then you may be able to finagle your insurance to pay for the surgery. Proceed with caution, however, as I'm not sure whether or not this constitutes insurance fraud.


How can I lose weight but not be left with loose skin?

Im about 4 - 5 stone over weight and I have made it my "new years resolution" to lose the weight and get fit.


Im scared I will be left with loose skin. Is there any way I can lose the weight with the skin?

How can I lose weight but not be left with loose skin?
Youth surely helps, as the skin is more elastic and able to re-shape itself.


Start exercising along with the diet plan.....this helps to keep the skin nice and tight.


Best to you.
Reply:no,you will have loose skin,but good toning exercises will help, make sure you don't lose the weight too quick either,that will help
Reply:losing that much weight, yeah there will likely be skin. the only way to repair that is with surgery, unfortunately. here is the thing though. the skin wont kill you. in the end, being overweight by 4-5 stone will kill you. i guess it becomes a lesser of two evils.
Reply:with plenty of toning exercises maybe start going to the gym start off slowly and warm up beforehand and build it up gradually also walking can help
Reply:im glad you asked this q, iv been thinking the same iv been told if you just do plenty ov exercise jogging sit ups drink loads of water lay of the beer and also eat very healthy eat less more often it works im guna try it its my new years resolution too, keep intouch email me and tell me how your getting and i will too, ps it get rid of the excess skin also i want that also, zoe x
Reply:if you lose the weight at a reasonable pace ie not too fast and also do exercise such as sit ups, cardio and some light weights then you should be ok.


Its usually extremely fast weight loss that leaves people with excess skin.


good luck by the way!
Reply:Well to answer your question it would take ime but here is a workout or thing that might help :





1)Stop eating and excercise intensely. (time consumed: about a week, maybe)





2) Dehydrate yourself. Do not drink any water, and you can lose up to 10 pounds (time consumed: a day or two)





3) Get lipo-suction (time consumed: idk, i guess a few hours)





4) Cut off a limb. (time consumed: instantaneous)

Can massive weight loss (100pounds,48kg) cause loose labia (and the skin where pubic hair grows) in females?

and if it does happen (loose skin of the pussi -sorry to say it but its only to explain, please execuse me - ) what are the other factors that cause it? is it like age? or the type of genes ? or what?

Can massive weight loss (100pounds,48kg) cause loose labia (and the skin where pubic hair grows) in females?
Yes, weight loss can cause it - it contains fat just like the rest of your body. Also age as well as child birth can change it.


There are surgical (cosmetic) procedures that can be done to correct it.
Reply:I think age has a great deal to do with the elasticity retention of the skin.
Reply:Yes. That area gains fat when we're obese and then becomes deflated, so to speak, after massive weight loss.





Age is also a factor especially for people who have been overweight most of their lives. They've never seen their "aging" body, all they know is skin stretched tight from fat.





Congrats on your weight loss! You've been a big favor for your health, even if there are a couple disappointments.

I am lookig for information on products they may help shrink loose skin. I recently lost weight and need help

The loose skin is not over significant but it is in the areas of my stomache, thighs, and behind. I have lost 105 pounds two years ago and no amount of exercises have helped so far. I am not looking for a super fast solution but something that would at least give me results where I don't have skin hanging or pouches of it. It looks real ugly and nasty, I just would like firmer, tighter skin in these areas so I can at least enjoy some of the freedom of having lost the weight and keeping it off. I have tried over the counter lotions before and do not work either, My doctor doesn't know of any product out their that would help and I would like to avoid surgery at all costs. Please help me with any suggestions or names of products that someone may have tried and has had success with. Thank you for any assistance with this problem of mine.

There is NEW procedure called thermassage. It uses heated radio waves. It continues working after you get treatment to. However it WONT remove the EXCESS SKIN like a plastic surgery will but it will tighten skin. THE COSTS 2 to 4 thousand dollars.
Reply:What you need is liposculpture -which is done to remove excess skin after massive weight loss.You can get liposculpture in India.Cosmetic Surgery is very cheap in India.There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges cosmetic surgery for foreigners in India.They are called the Forerunners Healthcare.I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.





I have also read that they arrange financing for american and canadian patients as cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance.They also have photos pasted of their International patients.You can checkout their website.The cost savings are incredible.





As a doctor i personally believe that your cosmetic surgery can be easily handled in India as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world.The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.If you still havent got your surgery done,you are better off getting it done in India.





my cousin got her breast reduction/liposculpture/buttoc... lift surgery in India through the forerunners healthcare.she is more than very happy with the results.she just paid 30% of the amount she was quoted in USA and is all praise fore this forerunners healthcare company.i personally have seen the wondeful results and am particularly impressed with the kind of quality care she got from this company.hope this helps

How do I get rid of cellulite and loose skin?

I've recently lost about 50lbs and my weight is now considered normal yet I still have quite a bit of fat around my butt and hips including cellulite. Also, my skin is a little loose in some places. I drink plenty of water and I've recently started exercising. I was just wondering what types of exercises would improve my condition. Currently, I alternate between the treadmill, elliptical, and stair thingy. Does anyone else have this problem? Please help!

How do I get rid of cellulite and loose skin?
Go to GNC or any other nutrition store and ask for a supplement called X-Pel. It works.
Reply:My family and I have been using the best cleansing technology...:)the first time I did it, I lost 16 pounds in 9 days:)...check out this site....w w w .cleansewithcgnj .com





It will change your life:)











the main reason for obesity in this country is because of all the toxins we ingest on a day to day basis.....When you ingest a toxin, the liver takes a fat cell and surrounds the toxin to protect it from your vital organs.....That’s why traditional diets do not work....they don't get rid of the toxins....so your body refuses to shed the fat....So, when you do this cleanse and get all the toxins out of your system, the body recognizes this and begins to shed the fat....
Reply:Just basically keep doing what you are doing plus add in some strenght training and it should tighten up!
Reply:lipo suction!!!! thats what I'm going to do!!
Reply:Massage your cellulite w/baby oil for 5-10min. straight. And really get in there. That deep massage will move some of the cellulite around. Cellulite is just fat that gets stuck, we need to move it around.
Reply:keep healthy that is good..the person that said to add some strength training is right...that will add more muscle instead of fat..making your skin more tight
Reply:Sounds like you need to tone up what you've lost. Just concentrate on strength training exercises to tighten those loose areas up.
