? About Excess Skin
I see the dramatic weightloss on the contestants on the Biggestloser and similiar shows. How/what determines whether or not folks who lose a significant amount of weight will have excess skin issues? Some of the people this season lost over 100 lbs and don't seem to have any issue, but I know a few folks in real life who have excess skin after losing 50lbs or more.
Do these folks have something done?
Or are there otherfactors that determine whether excess skin will be a problem?
I have a friend who lost @80 lbs over the course of a yr doing WW and is dealing with excess skin issues. She lost the weight about 4 yrs ago and for the most part has kept if off. She is 36 years and @150 lbs now.
I do have a fear that this could be an issue for me. Is there anything I can or should be doing to prevent excess skin, if at all possible?

I owe a HUGE percentage of my inspiration to Biggest Loser. I have loved that show since it started.
Thank God for my husband who is enabling me to really concentrate on getting my body in shape;-)
I was really rootin' for Ali...when they would show her running on that tredmill, she was just looking straight ahead with an intense drive in her eyes...she was amazing.
I am so so so happy for all of them....and yep, my eyes got all misty too!!!

Loved the finale.
Jillian Rocks!
I'm so happy Bernie won in the eliminated group.
I'm super glad we have a female BL!
(I was sure rootin' for Kelly though to be honest.)
BUT, I sure hope Ali plans on putting on a few lbs. now that the show is over and she has won.
She looked unhealthy/sickly IMHO.
I feel that if she puts on a few lbs, maintains, sculpts, and tones, she'll be good ta go for life.
There were a few people in the eliminated group that still looked very close to their updated footage once they were eliminated.
That was a disappointment to me.
I guess they are struggling?
I wish them the best and hope they get the weight off.
Bob and Jillian looked so good.
I love 'em both!
I look forward to the next season in October!
