Ask:Speed of Weight Loss Question Loose skin
2006-10-16 17:55:56When you see people that have lost alot of weight, somtimes they are left with excess flabby, loose skin. I was wondering , do you tink the rate in which they droped the weight had anything to do with it? If someone lost 100 pounds in 4 years @ 25 pounds a year, versus someone that lost 100 pounds in one year?
thank you
