Default i must disagree

Your skin will shrink with you if you drink lots of water (this adds something to the skin that helps with elasticity.(Spelling?) Also, if you haven't lost and gained large amount of weight over and over.


If skin did not shrink, every woman who ever had a baby would have saggy skin in the stomach area...and it just isn't true.


And not everyone gets stretch marks, either. I went from 250lbs to 120 in when I was 21. I lost the weight quickly, and not only did I not have saggy skin, I had no stretch marks to be seen.

Since I gained most of the weight back in my late 20s(Due to a thyroid problem) I still do not have any stretch marks, my skin is still firm, and after losing 26lbs quickly, see no evidence of saggy skin.


Just remember, everyone is different, and one person's experience is not another. (BTW, my sister has recently lost 240 lbs, and the only place she has saggy skin is in her arms)
