Question Posted Thursday February 16 2006, 12:55 am
What happens if someone loses 80+ pounds? What will their body be like? Figure they're 20 years old, so they pretty much have a quicker metabolism than an adult, but yeah.. Will they have any scars or marks or lumps or anything like that? And how would they get rid of that, aside from surgery? Is there even a way?
Umm, with me, when I lost weight - I exercised too, so that helped stretch out my skin, so it's not like I have extra skin hanging here & there. But I DO have stretchmarks, which most people get whenever they're bigger & when they lose the weight, there will still be stretchmarks there. I don't think there's any way to remove them, but you can use cocoa butter moisturizers to fade them.
Depending on how tall you are probably is a big factor here, & how your skin will just develop over time. I'm in weight watchers & I've heard a lot of success stories, one about this woman who weighed 250lbs & then lost about 100 & now weighs 150, and she has NO extra skin. Which is pretty unbelievable, but it happens to alot of people. But there are a lot of cases that they just have extra skin EVERYWHERE & the only way to get it removed is to have surgery.
