Will my skin shrink after a moderate weight

[erikkk89]

loss? Hey, I'm gonna turn 18 next month and I decided to lose some weight before college. I currently weigh 300 pounds with most of my weight in my gut. Since I have a pretty big build, I think I'll reach a good weight somewhere around 230. If I follow a good nutrition diet paired with a weight training program should I have any problems with loose skin after a seventy pound loss?

I don't think you will have a problem with loose skin. Number one you are 18 and your skin is supple. Number 2 you only have to lose around 70 pounds which is not enough to cause loose skin. The key is to lose the weight gradually, say 3 pounds a week. That way your skin should stay tight. Good luck!

hi therei was 250 and have been losing my weight graduallyi was concerned about that tooi asked my doc and he said it you lose the weight 1-2 pounds a week. you r skin will shrink and tighten. and so far it has been. So I guess the answer is to just take it off slowly. He said if I lost it to fast that i would have that problem. hope this helps
