Anyone have less elastic skin after weight loss?

I’m only half way through my weight loss

I got to an age where my skin is less elastic
Do you have this’?
How do you cope? Its really disturbing!
10kg to lose still

You mean like loose skin? I think you have to have it surgically removed. Congrats on the weight loss, btw.

Yes. Four years ago, I was 58 pounds overweight. A lot of it around my midsection. I lost 50 lbs. and was left with very noticeable sagging skin on my belly. I don’t let very many people see me naked anymore.

I’m losing weight and am worried about loose skin. My sister lost 100 pounds and only has a little saggy skin though so there’s hope

I think the younger you are, and/or the less overweight you are, the lower amount of saggy skin you have.

Damn I ■■■■ all over that sentence, but you know what I’m trying to say.

I once lost 80 lbs and I had some saggy skin. It went away after a few years though.

The skin on my belly and boobs isnt as it used to be after pregnancy and half a year of breastfeeding. Gaining 20kg sort of solved that issue a bit, changed sagginess into overall chubbiness. I need to lose weight to and wonder what will hapoen to the skin. Oh well.

I would need to live with it for years before surgery to show its not just a phase

Did it go away? Or are you living with it?

58 lbs is a lot x
Hope you stick with it

That sounds right to me
I hope losing it slower will help too but I’m 20lbs from goal if not 30

Only 30lbs? I don’t think you’ll have that much loose skin. I used to watch this show called “Skin Tight,” and when the people had that much loose skin, it was after they had lost 100+ lbs. That said, I’m not a doctor, so take my words with a grain of salt.

I think if you lose it slowly as oppose to faster there’s less chance of loose skin. My skin is a tad more loose at the moment on my thighs but I think it might still be changed with time. I think toning might help like Pilates.
