Not sure of exactly what I'd tell someone who confronted me with such a statement, but I can assure you I'd have a few choice words for them

I do know that this is an issue that has been raised many times and yes, it is a "YMMV" one. Age plays a part as does how fast you lost the weight. In this case slower is better. As is younger, unfortunately. Diet (as in what you put into your body every day) must play a contributing factor; I do not believe that someone starving themselves on a low fat diet will have as much elastisity in their skin as someone eating fats and more specifically essential fatty acids.

there are a few threads on this board already concerning this topic, here are a few of the choice ones:

As with many things, time will tell.
