    Hi! OK, so I'm a 19 year old female. I'm 5ƍ" and I weigh 267 lbs (yes, I know I'm obese, I'm working on it, I've already lost 25 lbs). Well I want to lose around 117 lbs but I'm a little afraid of losing the weight and having loose skin. I eat very healthy and I exercise (weights & cardio), I also drink 8 glasses of water everyday and I moisturize my skin 3 times a day. I've only been over weight for about 4 years If that matters.
    I just want to know if I will have a lot of loose saggy skin when I lose the weight. Any advice is great. Thanks.

    You might, but you are still young so your skin is more elastic. But if you are losing weight gradually, your skin should be able to adjust.

    Yup, but it will tighten after a while. Matters how fast you lose it, i was 260 now im 165 and i got loose skin but its getting better. Wht would you rather have a little loose skin or a bunch of fat?

    I think you will be fine as long as you dont drop the weight to quickly. Your skin should hold its elastic properties if you lose weight slowly and not by some crash diet, and from the way you're talking I dint think thats what your doing. Good luck and great job so far!

    I'm a fat loss coach. Some do, some don't - there is no way to predict it. It depends how far the skin was stretched and for how long, as well as your age. The speed of weight loss has nothing to do with it - otherwise all women would get it after giving birth. Once skin is stretched far enough, new skin cells form, which don't go away without surgery.
    Since there's nothing you can do at this point, don't worry about - just focus on being healthy, and be grateful that you're healthy & alive.
