Angela,

When I was close you your age (way back when) I lost over 40lbs, not once but twice! Having lost it in my later teens and then after having kids! And both times I had no problems with hanging skin! Your are still young and your skin will hopefully be ready to respond. Just go at a steady pace so your body can keep up with you!


And dont worry about it! OF everyone I know who has ever lost a lot of weight, I only remember one who had "hanging" skin.
