Hello all. I am currently 18 years old an attend Loyola Marymount University. When i was 14 years old, i lost 127 pounds, I had been overweight all my life up to that point. During that weight loss i dieted, did lots of cardio and was with a personal trainer so weight training was huge. Since then, i have been lifting and doing cardio 6 days a week, every week, through thick and thin. It is currently my life, my day, my everything depends on my workouts. I always need to work out or i feel gross, it is my drug now i guess. But here is my problem, since i have lost the weight, i have been cursed with LOOSE SKIN. I have loose skin on my abs, my love handles and on my lower chest ( boobs i guess). I lift so much and lift so hard, i simply cannot even begin to describe to you how frustrating it is to not see changes. Please, if any of you have tips for me i would greatly appreciate it. It is my goal to be a personal trainer and i simply refuse to do that if i still have loose skin on my body. What else can i possible do? I do not want to be one of those people who relies on surgery to get a quick fix.Please help me people, this is my plea.

Than why do i hear so many responses that lifting is the best possible way to get rid of the skin? And i do not have lots of loose skin like seen in some cases. I have a fairly small amount in fact, it is not noticable in the slighest when i am wearing clothes. I am uncomfortable taking my shirt off however. My arms, my legs, my upper chest are all large and ripped, its just the mid section that kills me. I really dont think that surgery is the only option here. More info please
if its LOTS of excess skin then surgery will likely be your only option. however now you mention that it is only a small amount... and if this is the case then your skin "to some degree" can Tighten back up
although If this skin has been loose for about 4 years and has not tightened up by now then i doubt it will
Maybe someone els here who has had the loose skin problem can shed more light for you
