How to PREVENT excess skin?

[SanMateo]

Hello,

I am planning, and am losing weight.

My initial weight was 230'ish. I am 18 years old. 5'10 is my height.

Now, I want to be at a healthy weight... I am eating healthy to limit myself to the right amount of calories, I use the treadmill at least 5 times a week, and I use the bowflex around 3 times a week on average.

Now, what else should I do or change so in the end I will not have any excess skin?

What are good things to do to prevent the excess skin?

Thank you very much!!

Read around the forum a lot - this question has been asked and answered many many times.. make friends wiht the search button - it will help you...

You don't have a lot of weight to lose and you're still quite young..

if you lose weight at a reasonable rate (1 percent of your body weight a week ish)
Do some strength training
eat healthily
Hydrate

you shoudl be fine...

your genetics dicate a lot of how your body responds though...

But -- cross that bridge when you come to it

Hey maleficent, thanks for your response.

I know there were a lot of threads, but in almost all of those threads, people said it depends on your age and what not, this is the reason of me opening this thread with my details.

Thank you.
