I know this has probably been discussed into the ground, I have had a search for any similar posts but can't find anything; but I'm petrified that when I lose the weight I'll be left with really loose skin everywhere.
I've heard lots of horror stories about this happening when you lose weight rapidly and I'm hoping thats what they are, just horror stories.
So can anyone tell me whether this is the case, any tips of preventing it. Using my basic knowledge of human biology, I'm guessing that the collagen etc is already stretched from the excess weight thats been piled on? Does the skin 'shrink' back to what it would be had I maintaned a healthy weight?
I know it also depends a lot on genetics, body/skin types etc but I live in hope!
I've also got stretch marks on my bingo wings and they're covered in cellulite which I hate. I doubt I'll ever be able to go sleeveless comfortably again, but reducing the risks of heart disease, stroke, cancer etc is worth it!
Sorry I do ramble don't I
