Here’s the loose skin story.

When people lose substantial amounts of body fat, the skin may become loose. Whether the skin will tighten after fat loss will depend on many things. However, two predominate.

1. Stretching only – If the skin is loose because it was stretched but not beyond it’s natural elasticity, it will tighten of its own accord over time. That process will happen in a few weeks to months.

2. New skin cells – If the skin was stretched beyond it’s natural elasticity, it will have grown new skin cells in response to the tension. And, when new skin cells have been added, they will not go away when the fat is lost. In that case, the skin may remain loose.

It may help you to appreciate the amount of new skin growth of which the body is capable if you go here –> http://www.foreskinrestore.com/results_1-24months.html and compare the pictures of the before and after pictures of penis foreskin restoration.

Fat distribution also plays a role in the loose skin problem. If the fat loss was predominantly in one area (eg: the waist area), the skin will have stretched more than if the fat loss was more uniformly distributed over the body. People who have lost most of the fat from one area will be more likely to have residual loose skin than those who lost a small amount of fat from a wide area.

In most cases of nominal (not extreme) fat loss, both 1. and 2. may apply. In other words, the skin may tighten somewhat and remain slightly looser. Because elasticity decreases with age, in older people it is more likely the skin will remain loose for a given amount of fat loss. And, of course, the greater the fat loss, the more the skin has been stretched and the less likely it will be to return to the same tightness it had prior to the fat gain.

As a crude rule of thumb, a young person who loses only <30% of their weight will not have loose skin. Those losing 30-60% of their weight will likely have some loose skin. And those who lose>60% will probably have undesirable loose skin.

Loose skin which does not resolve naturally cannot be tightened. It must be removed surgically. There are no wraps, creams, spa treatments, drugs, chemicals, herbals, etc. that can make skin shrink. However, adding muscle to increase body volume can help tighten the skin.

For more about post-fat loss skin, go here –> http://www.livestrong.com/loose-skin-after-weight-loss/ .However, bear in mind that fact that most of those things said in the Mayo Clinic articles refer to very small amounts of amelioration. For example, losing fat slowly will help prevent loose skin but not by much. It is always important to be aware of whether the information you are given is qualitative or quantitative.

You are young and only need to lose 22% of your bodyweight so you should not have a problem with loose skin. However, if you loose much from your boobs, you can expect them to sag slightly more. Breasts are an anatomically unique feature inasmuch as they are covered with skin but the skin is not stretched over muscle or subcutaneous fat. They tend to sag in women with large breasts naturally so any loss of breast fat will result to a corresponding degree of pendulousness.

Good luck and good health!!

How do you keep weight off without losing even more?

Question by Kacie: How do you keep weight off without losing even more?
I’m 14 and today is the day I begin my weight loss plan. I know that you have to exercise to lose weight, and I’ve heard you have to exercise to keep it off. But I’m confused, how can you do that without losing MORE weight after you’ve reached your goal? I don’t want to gain it all back, but I don’t want to be anorexic.

Best answer:

Answer by douglw.geo
once you get to a weight level that your happy with, they key is use the same number of calories that you take in. If you are exercising, then you can eat more, but you don’t have to exercise in order to maintain your weight. That said, everyone I know that’s been successful in keeping off weight has continued to exercise regularly. Think 30 minutes, 2-3 times per week. It’s not a bog time commitment, but it will have long lasting benefits.

Will weight loss pills work for me even though I’m already slightly underweight?

by Eva Rinaldi Celebrity and Live Music Photographer

Question by Lauren: Will weight loss pills work for me even though I’m already slightly underweight?
Okay so I’m 16 and I’m 5 foot 7, and 111.5 pounds. I know this is a bit underweight, but I’d like to weigh 100 pounds. That’s the magic number in my head. I’ve tried starving, hours of excercise daily, and all that stuff and none of it works. All I want is to be 100 pounds by summer. I’m thinking of taking Hydroxycut Max for Women… Do you think it’ll work? And will there be negative side effects?

Best answer:

Answer by Artemisc
The big side effect is if it works, you will look like a skeleton. 5’7 100 lbs is too light. Your path leads to anorexia, and that’s nasty.

Will i still gain weight even if i stay below 1200 calories a day?

by Chris Devers

Question by Alex: Will i still gain weight even if i stay below 1200 calories a day?
Does it really matter what you eat as long as you stay under 1200 calories when trying to lose weight? I know it isn’t healthy but say you just do it every now and then. If you eat junk food but it still equals to 1200 or less calories will that cause weight gain?

Best answer:

Answer by Heather T
Don’t stay under. Your body needs at least 1200 calories a day to be healthy.

Who has tried diet pills that work, even if they made you feel light headed?

by HazPhotos

Question by Tara Combs: Who has tried diet pills that work, even if they made you feel light headed?
I am interested in anyone’s personal experience with diet pills that actually work. I am very familiar with diet and exercise, I do understand that I need to eat enough calories so that the Diet pill does NOT eat away at my muscle mass. I just need a jump start to help get rid of some “stuburn” fat in my thighs that is very hard to lose. Thanks.

Thanks

Best answer:

Answer by lisa w
I am hypothyroid due to radioactive treatment. I tried diet pills in the past and they helped a little but i gained the weight back. The only thing that has helped me lose and keep the weight off is making sure that the doctors do regular blood test so that my meds will stay adjusted. I work out at least 1 hour a day (5-6) days a week. I lift weights 2-3 days a week and I follow a very low carb diet.Doing these things I have lost 30pounds in 5 months. In the past I have tried doing a low fat diet and it just didn’t work for me. It is very difficult to lose weight with a thyroid problem but not impossible, you just have to find out what works for you. Good luck!!!
