I'm in the process of losing weight. I’ve lost 2 stone 3lb so far. However, I’ve got around another 5 stone to lose. I’m planning to do it quite gradually - around 2lb a week. But I am still terrified that I might get loose skin! I read so many stories on here with people saying they have loose skin and it really worries me.
My skin is quite elastic and I’m very young (only seventeen,) so I’m hoping that will be an advantage and should reduce my chances of getting it. I just feel like any renewed confidence from weight loss will be shattered if I have loose skin. I have no loose or even flabby skin so far.
Some things I’m doing to try and prevent it happening:
Exfoliating body skin and using a skin firming lotion (Bio-oil/shea butter.)
Exercising 60 mins a day
Light Weight training
Is there anything else I can do to try and prevent it? I’m really concerned.
Replies appreciated.
