When I was 26 I lost 100 pounds over 8 months and i didnt excersize...I had no hanging skin.My stretch marks shrunk away to the point where they were not hardly noticeble.
Now I am 43 and have only lost a bit so far and am already noticing loose-hanging skin.Which scares me because I have over 100 pounds to lose.
I have been told by doctors that stretch marks will only shrink.There is no way to make them go away completely.They will look like tiny white lines that only show in certain light.
Excersize helps you firm as you lose.
Excess skin is excess skin.
The older you you get the less colegen your skin has so the less elastic it is ,so if you stretch it a lot it wont spring back to where it used to be.Creams are topical and cant replace what your skin has lost through age.This is just life.
You can always get surgery...
The skin wont kill you.The fat that used to fill it up will.
