Dear all
Loose skin is inevitable after any weight loss but it's better option than fat. A great deal depends on your age, the younger you are the more elastic is the skin. So start young. Some skin types are more elastic too. And lots of body cream feels as if it helps - but I am not sure it does much good permanently.
It's also worth remembering that the fat surrounds all the major organs - heart, liver, kidneys and this goes too. Hence the health benefits all round.
I have found that my skin tone is improving as I swim and maintain. Certainly it's not as bad as it was - initially i was very conscious of the surplus! but skin that was stretched by six stones for quite a while cannot just shrink back overnight.
So keep calm, carry on and work on skin tone as you maintain.
