Hi guys,
I'm a 22y old female, have lost about 60kg in 8 months.
I look great in clothes but I have excess skin, mainly on my belly.
I can't afford and don't want to remove it by surgery.
My self esteem is still low, like when I was fat, because of it. Makes me sad...
Is there anyone with the same problem here? How do you deal with it?

I've read your skin can take as much as 2 years to catch up to your weight loss and that surgeons won't even operate on patients before that.

Your skin will tighten up, maybe even all the way given that you're young. Things you can do to help your skin is to build stomach muscles to give it something else to cling to, as well as eat a diet rich in proteins, essential fats, and vitamins.
 
Hey! I dont know whether this is true or not but I read somewhere that if you mosturise your skin regualrly it can help the elastic properties of the skin which will help it "shink" when you lose weight!

HTH
 
Im trying to catch this before it becomes an issue personally after i get out of the shower i do my regime of moisturizer on the face and i go to my cocobuter and lather my body up massaging the problem areas (upper arms, upper legs, stomach, breast, arse ect ect) i massage cause i have cellulite and im quoting from a site

"Many people suffer from cellulite, which is essentially a build up of toxins in the body. It is a common error that cellulite is a fat, but in reality, many people have cellulite, not only those who are overweight. Massage is a healing art, and can be used to help detoxify the body and rid it of cellulite. To regain the smooth contours of your body, you must loosen the cellulite so your body can get rid of it."

So i guess doing it as a percautionary thing, massage massage get the lotion cocobutter whatever your using into your skin, thats something that takes barely 2 minutes to do and its becoming a nice relaxing routine
