How do you tighten skin!

[GiLOC]

I'm dumping body fat and gaining muscle through diet and training. BUT areas that are not compensated by muscle are getting too lose and pissing me off. I drink plenty of water to keep me hydrated, but my skin isn't tightening.
Please Help

well if you lost a lot of fat, then you're screwed....but if you've lost a relatively low amount, GRADUALLY, then it might tighten up...it all depends on your age..elasticity of your skin decreases as you get older...so if your above 25 yrs old i think your SOL..

but ive heard about the whole preparation H thing (you put that crap all over the area, then wrap plastic wrap around it overnight)

might work..but i never tried it..never had to..

I"m 6'2" 235lbs. I was once 290lbs of pure fat about four yrs ago. Muscle has compensated in all areas except upper/lower waise.
Are you serious about the prep H thing?

Thanks KAK

thats why u have to loose weight ( fat) slowly not too fast so your skin wont get too lose , it has to adjust to your changes, if u lost it too fast it will take some time for your skin to tighter. give it some time

I thought I was very patient, I've been under 250 for about 1yr and haven't seen much difference except were muscle is added.
What about the Prep H.

Plastic surgery.

Yeah, I can vouch for the Preparation H thing. When I was in the army, dudes would do it all the time so they could make the body fat ( tape test ) measurements at a weigh in. I' ve seen it shrink an abdominal measurement by as much as 1 1/2 in. No shit. Keep in mind that the results are very temporary. (about 4-6 hours.)

I know what you guys are thinking; and no, I wouldn't advise doing it pre-contest as it will make your skin look like shit.

Actually, there are lots of competitors that do it pre-contest. I've seen a few women that have had children do this in their midsection. I would say that if you are relatively young, it will tighten eventually. I don't know what kind of effect ALA might have on it but, it clears complexions up & supposedly is just all around good for your skin as well as, being a great supplement in other areas. I'm not sure if it would help in your case or not but, it'd be worth doing research. Good luck!
