I agree lose it slowly and it will reduce the amount of loose skin you'll be left with when you're finished. But remember the wonderful thing you'll be doing for your health too, you'll feel so much better and be able to do so much more! That makes up for the skin and if it really bothers you when you're done there is the surgery route. There will be a lot of people who will tell you this lotion or potion will sort it out but it wont, though keeping your skin moisturised and supple will help you feel better about it and as Judimac says it sure does feel good lol!
