Unfortunately, losing weight quickly will lead to saggy skin. But you're also young, which means your skin is likely to bounce back.
Try to lose slowly. This is not only healthier, but it'll also reduce the saggy skin effect.
Weight-training will definitely help. Many people think that weight-training will make them bulk up or look like body builders. This isn't true.
Because of this, a fast weight loss in a short space of time will leave saggy skin. This saggy skin does not get back to the way it used to be no matter what exercises you do. Surgery is usually the only option to remove the hanging and saggy skin.
Stick to a healthy and well balanced diet. You will find information on the web and you will also find on the web information and a diagram of a "Healthy Eating Plate".
It has been 3 years, since I weight 215 lbs, I have work hard losing the weight but I was left with ALOT of saggy skin. I was a model up to 2004, when I gain all that weight. Now, my modeling career is over due, to the stretch marks and saggy skin. I am currently an Esthetician, but due to my saggy skin. My self esteem is very low. I am disable, I depress because my career came to an end because of doctors that I trusted.
You can try doing some weights or resistance band exercises, but if you're losing weight, that might just be something you will have to put up with. Some of just get saggy skin when we lose weight. Check out YouTube for upper body exercises using weights.
There are facial exercises you can do, but you shouldn't have saggy cheeks when you lose weight, unless you're losing a very large amount of weight.
I have googled so much on saggy knees and only get stories and pictures from women over the age of 40. I just 30 6 months ago and I have saggy knees with folded over skin. It looks awful. My knees look ok when they are slightly bent but when they are in a straight (locked in) position, if you looked at my knees you would think I'm 50, not 30. Does anyone else have this problem? What could this sudden onset mean?
I am not overweight and never have been.
My 61 year old husband is trying to improve his weight and is losing slowly. Height 5' 10", weight 186lbs.
The problem is that he has a distended abdomen that appears the size of a 8-9month pregnancy but no "under the skin" fat that can "pinch an inch", even on his belly. The belly doesn't have an "apron" that hangs. His legs look slim and arms also are normal sized.
scales like ichthyosis, just very dry, wrinkled, saggy skin. I have lost maybe 10 lbs in the last few months, but my skin looks more like someone who has lost a lot of weight, very fast. My diet is normal, I take vitamins and drink plenty of water. I am currently without health insurance, so have not visited a dermatologist, but may have to, soon. Summer is here and I feel like I have to wear long sleeves and full length pants, as my skin looks so old and strange.
What do you guys mean by "pooch" just curious? Pooch as in saggy skin or little pot belly?
What I am trying to say is that working out will tone your muscles and make them long and lean. Eating well will aid your weight-loss efforts. I hope you are also doing some cardio work-outs, too (4-6 days/week). That will burn calories and help you to lose weight. The combination of the 3 (healthy eating, strength-training, and cardio workouts) is the key to losing weight - but it has to be a commitment for life for all of us if we want to keep the weight off.
