Hi...Im after some advice :)

[leftoverflab]

Weight isnt so much the main thing I monitor now, its waist/hips/chest size and general appearance, so a couple of pounds wont hurt

Can I ask why? I've seen many, many similar photos around here :/ Why is it inappropriate?

Hey dude, welcome to the forum. I reckon you should leave it for a while as well--You're still young. Don't try that herbalife bullshit--It's a waste of money Focus of building muscle and you'll be fine x

The side view picture was deleted and I don't think it was posted to be inappropriate. And I will leave it at that!

Again good luck to you Leftoverflab!!

Hi all

Introduction bit: Well, hello everyone, Im adam, I'm 19 and Im from Worthing. Im looking forward to meeting you all

Main reason why im here:
I went on a drastic diet and over about 8 months lost in total 5 stone, I now weight 9st 6lbs, and Im 5ft 8inces. This was just on a diet without exercise. Unhealthy, I know, but nevertheless there is not a lot that can be done about that now. The problem I face now is that, as you can guess, no exercise and diet alone coupled with drastic weight loss means ive got a fair bit of loose skin around my body.
Ive got a few pictures to show you the extent of this:

From the side, its not too noticable, and it doesnt bother me too much.
When I put my hands on my hips and really push towards my tummy, this is what happens...




Now im comparison to others ive seen, i think ive got out of it fairly well!! it could be a lot worse. but, its still annoying for me and id rather not have it Ive bought a slendertone belt and Im using it hoping that building up my abs will fill out the skin a bit, but in total honesty, id rather look skinny than muscley, having big abs doesnt really interest me. so is there anything, besides surgery, that can be done to assist this problem?

Im aware of the fact that there isn't a lot that can be done to retighten loose skin, but Im young and hopefully have a better chance of thinsg going back to normal. so, how long roughly should I be thinking this is likely to take, and what can i do to assist my body along the way?

thanks
