    I'm 20 years old and 18lbs into an 80lb weight loss. I'm aware that I will never have a tight, toned body. Even at my smallest weight I always had some extra meat on me and I never had ab definitions. But I was healthy and looked/felt good.
    So, I don't mind being a little jiggly. I can accept that. I just don't want to be a small person hidden in a layer of unsightly, sagging skin. And I don't want deflated boobs. I know my boobs will get smaller, but they were always big and I just don't want them to take on a noticeably deflated appearance.
    My stomach already hangs VERY slightly. It does not cover my....parts.....or anything, but there is a pouch and I'm worried that it will not tighten back up after weight loss.
    BTW- I eat 1500 calories a day, drink tons of water, take baths with baby oil, moisturize my skin regularly, lose about 2-2.5lbs a week and do strength training three times a week (the strength training includes an 8 minute ab routine).
    So like I said, I know I'll never have abs like Janet Jackson, but I'm worried that my stomach will be saggy and gross. HELP
    I have many stretch marks and I don't really mind them anymore as they are fading overtime. I just don't want unsightly, saggy skin.

    Well to be quite honest with you, most people have sagging skin regardless if they lose weight or not. The cold, hard truth is that 99% of the human population just looks better with their clothes on.
    EDIT: chances are, you won't have seriously loose skin. You'll have loose skin, no doubt, but not anything abnormal. Sometimes you get sagging skin if you lose weight too quickly, such as with getting your stomach stapled, or if you lost tons of weight (say, 150+ pounds). Right now you are losing a few pounds a week, which is fine when you are heavier. But as you continue to lose more weight, you will want to stick to 1 pound a week.
    Think of it this way... would you rather have sagging skin, or would you rather risk your health to avoid it?

    Danica, four years ago, I lost 100 pounds. I didn't have sagging skin. A lot depends on the elasticity of your skin and how long you were overweight. Since you are young, your skin may conform to your new figure with no problem.
    Then again, it may not. But it sounds like you are doing what you need to do to minimize any sagging.
    Best wishes!
