Drinking plenty of water and not smoking helps with this problem as well

anonyomous…congratulations on losing 48 pounds in 6 months. Thanks for sharing what has been working for you with the loose skin. I’m 56 years old and have never tasted club soda. I’m going to pick some up next trip to the store.

weight loss is about control-so to prevent the loose skin (i am 59 and have lost 48lbs in 6 months)i have put my diet on hold (i am now at 185)to give my skin a chance to catch up-i have increased calories to 2000 to almost stop weight loss-it’s nice to eat more for a change-but i still watch fats and portion sizes–and eat at least 5 meals a day-i drink club soda with bi-card to help the tummy adjust to the extra food-good luck!

You have done so well going from 279 to 189. Each person is different. You best bet would be to go to a doctor and see what other alternatives he recommends other than surgery. Congratulations on your weight loss!!!

Problem: Lost 80 pounds in roughly 10 months, a little quick (went vegetarian). Spent the last 3-4 months on a 3-4 times a week, hour a day weightlifting set. I now hit the abs good, with switch-off between straight situps (35 per set, 4 total and between my curls, etc) and legups (15 a shot, same amount of sets, usually switching between them every other week in my routine). I can certainly feel a definite tightening and even somewhat of a rock hardness. However, when i bend over it is a mass of horrendous skin (other than that, very little loose skin to speak of). Am i being impatient? I was approx. 279 and am now 189 even, every week, despite the muscle i have put on. Am i being impatient or am i the lucky one in a group for whom surgery is the only option? It is seriously discouraging. I know i lost it fast.. should i make an ab workout a daily thing, or can this be counterproductive?

Thank you soooo much for this post. All those shows freaked me out and I sorta used that as an excuse for awhile. I am on day 7 of my “new life.” I walk 30 min a day and try to do yoga every morn (as long as the one on tv is beginner.) I tried to follow pilates on tv, that is sooo hard, but I’m sure very beneficial when it comes to toning so I’m going to keep searching for a beginner one.

You are so right! I lost my weight fairly quicly and my skin had no time to “snap back”. I actually had to get a tummy tuck to remove the extra skin on my belly. I admire your ability to work out it is the one thing I can’t get a handle on.
