It should snap back since you are young and aren't losing that much weight. And yes, it tends to hang at first when you loose it quickly, but that will change in time. It helps if you do toning exercises also.
Reply:To avoid flabbiness, losing weight also requires one to exercise to maintain elascity. I pressume she lose weight without physical exercise?

Naturally, human skin is a very unique thing... Skin can stretch or shrink naturally with a humans diet...





If you are going to excersize to loose this weight, you skin should shrink along with you...





The only time that skin gets 'flabby' is if someone were to get plastic surgery or 'gasteric bypass type surgerys'.
Reply:thats pretty easy to do - just excercise regularily and make sure you take vitamins - especially Vitamin E which is for healthy skin. If the skin dosen't reduce naturally after a month or so, then you may want to consider medical treatment.
Reply:I lost 30 pounds over the past year, and I didn't really have any extra skin (I'm 15) so I wouldn't worry about it toooo much.





If you are indeed worried, then work out 3 times a week for a half an hour at a time, and gradually increase it (it's healthy for you anyway!)





Good luck!!
