Question to people who have had rapid weight loss
 

Just a silly little question really. Does your skin become saggy? Or does it re-adjust so to speak.

The reason i am asking is because i have stretch marks on my stomach, and i am worried that *if* i lose weight rather quickly, i will end up with horrible saggy skin.

Well I cannot speak for all of us on the board. But in my case I lost 75lbs in 6 months...fast to some...I have noticed that my skin is very flabby..and to be honest..not nice to look at. I remember reading a post one lady said she looks way better clothed than unclothed...and I think she could be right .....lol
Although I rather have flabby than fat....but Im working on those areas that are bad....which is my stomach and inner thighs....hopefully in time..it will get better...

Good luck to you!!

March, you lost about 3 lbs a week?!?! Holy moly! That is incredible! You are doing great, congrats! :)

I lost a little over 50 in 6 months. The only place I noticed loose skin is my stomach. I've got stretch marks which reminds me of what I looked like after giving birth, more than a quarter century ago. I still have alot to lose so maybe it will get worse later. But, looking better in clothes is worth the extra skin.

I lost 99 lbs in 6 months. Yes, I have some sag but it's coming in. It'll take time but it should happen.
