I have quite an amount of loose skin built up from my weight loss, my skin is prone to stretch marks and such so I’m just genetically not very elastic
have to be honest, going under the knife has crossed my mind but I also am scared that’ll make it worse. I am going to the gym, and I am told that slowly it is looking better but it is taking a long time.
I don’t know this doctor, I don’t know the credentials but interesting anyway
It is what it is, I have to be happy with myself really I think. But definitely finding exercise and focussed training is a good way to help here, I’m just rather impatient!
I tend to think those celebrity weight loss where they lose all the weight and are suddenly buff, 6 pack and not a mark in sight are unrealistic and harmful, real life doesn’t work that way
so, we are all on this thread making an effort, and all should be celebrated saggy bits and all
My downfall has been steroids when I have several asthma attacks close together. Also my diabetic doctor has me on medication that will aid weight gain even though she wants me to lose weight. I am being referred for a weight loss programme and would like to do Slimming World online if I can. I have a lot of weight to lose and I do worry about the loose skin if I lose 4st. I worry it will cause me a lot of problems like chafing and sore skin in the folds of skin.
