Can you lose a large amount of weight and not have loose skin?
Hi there :)
I'm 16 and am desperate to lose weight. I'm currently around the 11 1/2 stone mark. I've lost 4 pounds in the last two weeks, because I've heard that if you lose weight slowly, you would have less loose skin?
Is it possible to go from 11 1/2 stone to 9 1/2 without having any loose skin?
Thanks :)

If you loose an excessive amount of weight then it is possible you could have loose skin, This is why it is important to exercise and tone up your muscles.
For example: If you walked off 100 pounds...You will have loose skin. If you don't want to have as much loose skin then you may want to try hiking instead of walking where you will work your muscles.
It sort of depends on how much weight you are looking to loose, If you are talking 10-25 lbs then it is unlikely but usually anything 50+ is where you would need to worry. I've never heard of the slower you loose weight the less loose skin your have, I have heard....The slower you loose the weight the longer it will stay off.
Try mixing some cardio in your exercise that will also help tone up.
