[QUOTE="Jared1, post: 1709800, member: 463733"] Hay - feel your concerns - I think in any case losing weight if need to can only be seen as positive. I'm guessing it depends on many things what degree of loose skin have e.g age, how big (and where) was to start off with, muscle mass, gentic deposition, skin condition e.g people with leather skin from sun, speed of loss and likely self care e.g using oils etc Prob a raft of other things too. Can only really comment on my own experience im 33 m never been sun burnt in my life so think my skin is pretty good although don't do any particular regular care - I hold most my weight around my mid section so was never concerned about other areas in general without the weight I'd say I'm small framed but tall (not muscle bound by a long shot). Since gp gave me kick in the a** nearly 3 months ago I've had pretty rapid weight loss - just over 3 stone with about 1-2 to go before ideal. My result as far as skin goes is that there is slight looser than used to be but nothing that concerns me and defantly not even close to were it would cause problems - infact hopeful over time will just go back to how used to be a few years ago when I was lighter. Biggest factors I feel for me is age and that while I was obease I didint consider I was excessively over huge to start off with - but most of all just luck. Hope is some help and hope you can carry on your journey of loss without been to concerned about excessive skin Edited by a Mod. [/QUOTE]
