Will I have loose skin?

I've a few concerns about losing weight. I'm a 26 year old 5'6" female who currently weighs 241 lbs. My goal weight is 150. I have a large frame and am above average for the amount of muscle mass that I have. My question is, do you think after a 90 pound weight loss that I'll be left with a ton of loose skin?


I've never been pregnant and have no health problems other than being overweight.

Will I have loose skin?
Most people who lose 50-100 pounds tend to have some loose skin, but it depends on a few factors:





1. Depends on how quickly you lose the weight. If you lose the weight at a steady normal pace, say 2 pounds a week, you are less likely to have as much loose skin.


2. Use of firming lotions/vitamin E: skincare lines like Dove, Aveena, Neutrogena, etc have lotions which contain vitamin E and other things that will help your skin to be resiliant and firm, which can help your skin to not hang as much.


3. Exercising while losing: if you lose weight simply from diet, you are more likely to have loose skin. If you include cardio and strength training though, you will have less problem with hanging skin.





Unfortunately however, it is hard to avoid the loose skin entirely. Depending on how severe the looseness is after you've met your goal, and depending on how important it is to you, you may opt to have simple cosmetic surgery to remove the excess skin. The operation is very common and can help you to get rid of it and feel better about yourself.





In conclusion, there are some things you can do to have LESS loose skin after you lose those 90 pounds, but I think you will still have some.

Reply:only way to avoid loose skin during %26amp; after weight loss is to exercise whilst losing the weight.





Furthermore if you eat well and exercise your body will naturally drop the kilos. Dramatic and quick weight loss will cause stretch marks, as the skin hasn't had the chance to adapt to the reduced surface area it needs to cover.





Best advice - exercise, eat well - the weight will fall off and you will be happy with the end result.
Reply:a little. You can do exercises that, tone it up though.
