Sagging Skin
 
I've been on the low carb diet for almost a year now, and I am very pleased with how quickly I lost the weight. I have already lost 50lbs and I still have about 50-60 lbs to go. My question is to those who may have some experience or knowledge about sagging skin. On the low carb diet the fat seems to burn away very fast thus leaving the skin behind. I am only 31 years old, and I would think that I have enough elastin left for my skin to draw up considerably. But, I do have a little bit of droop in the face where my double chin and fat cheeks used to be. I am assuming that the drawing up of the skin will probably take more time, as I lost the weight very FAST. If anyone has any information to share on this I would appreciate it. I lived a fat life when I was a teen, so I want to have a thin face in my young adulthood. A tight thin face that is!

:cheer: Wow WOW WOW WOW! Great weight loss!!!
I really don't know about the sagging skin but am sure interested in knowing how long it takes too. I had FAT knees! Now, I have too much skin there! I refuse to wear shorts in public. Just yuck! I know, all this work and now too much skin. Too bad there is no diet for that! I'll wait it out. It'll go away sooner or later. Besides, what's the alternative? Gain it back? NOT IN A MILLION YEARS!!!

Exercise!!
 
That's the only answer I have for you, I heard that weight lifting is good for toning also. :wiggle:

I exercise 5 days a week and do toning excercises. So I guess I'll just have to be patient. :(
