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!!
