Loose skin

[Baddogg]

OKay I have this problem. I have loose skin from the "fatter" days on my stomach. I don't know how to get rid of it... I did abs like crazy at one time but that seemed to not help any. Does anyone know how to get rid of it? You can see my upper abs but you can't see the lower abs for the loose skin. I weigh like 185 lbs. Any help would be nice..thanks

I have to same frigging problem...after doing some research it seems the only thing that can solve that problem is surgery.

I'll never have a really "taunt" stomach because my skin will always be really loose (due to having a child and gaining/losing lots of weight several times).

It's so bad that when I bend over my stomach skin hangs down

I have no experience with this but I would think that what you have to do is focus on building your abs (making them bigger) rahter than cutting them up.

Thanks..I hate the loose skin it looks bad especially when I sit down or something.. I lost like 30-40 lbs once and that is why I have the loose skin.. I am trying to work my way up to a better bod.

From what I have seen and read I believe VooDoo Lady is correct.

Flax helps with skin elasticity but probably not for more noticeable instances.

How old are you? How long has it been since you lost the weight? These will be determining factors as to how much of that skin will tighten itself up.

Also, all the crunches in the world will not help a loose skin problem. Even your diet will only do so much.

it's been about 3 years since I lost the weight and I lost it all in a year's time

Im with you on this, I lost about 90 pounds in rougly 6-8 months. But the loose skin is not really that obvious, yet it stretches extensively ( I can pull my skin 1-2 inch's from my body ). Well on most body parts that is.

How old are you and how much weight did you lose in that time?
