Hi everyone, I'm on day 12 and absolutely loving it! As I have got quite a lot to lose I'm worried about getting loose skin.
I've done a lot of research and it seems that the best way to avoid it is to do lots of exercise, especially toning as the skin then has some muscle to adhere to.
However I have read on a couple of posts that by doing exercise you can actually hinder the diet as your body goes into starvation mode and the weight loss slows down.
So I need to try and find a balance I guess! I have a gym membership that I want to make the most of as it's paid up unti September. However I don't want to go to the effort of exercising only for it to slow me down. At the same time I want to minimise the loose skin!
Do you think that if I had an extra shake on the days that I went to the gym that it would be ok? I'm only talking about walking on the treadmill, maybe some moderate cycling and then some toning exercises (light weights etc).
I want to be able to wear a lovely dress to my sister's wedding which is in South America in Jan 2010!
Thanks everyone (and if anyone has any experience with loose skin I would be so grateful if you could share it please!)
