I am not an expert, but I think one of the advantages of LCing is that we eat lots of fat, which keeps our skin (and other body parts) well-lubricated, which in turn, helps with our skin's elasticity. I would guess that if you lose at a good, even pace (max 2 lbs/week average), that your skin will have a chance to bounce back into place.

My dad lost over 80 lbs two years and he has very little flab. I would say most of it is just due to his age (54, not that he is OLD, just these things start to happen).

Finally, if my choices are being fat or having excess skin, I think I will take the latter!
