loose skin?

[Dylan16]

i am 17 and have lost a considerable amount of weight in over a year and have what i think is some fat on my belly but alot of loose skin and stretch marks from before when i was huge does anymore know how long it takes to tighten up or is it only surgery that can get rid of it as i am a keen bodybuilder and to have a strong well defined core and abs,it will not show under fat or loose skin and has me frustrated to know what is the way i need to go about it to get it sorted!?

thanks in advance!

You may have to check with your doctor about the loose skin. I have no knowledge in that area. I never was a big person, so I don't know how that works. Maybe someone on the forum that has lost a considerable amount of weight may be able to tell you what to do about the loose skin.

You have done really good so far! Good For You!!

Thanks for the advice AnnaGail,i was hoping to go to some form of specialist in the near future to have a few questions answered about skin and posture and few other things but thought i would give it a go on here first anyways.Thank you!

Wait 1 to 2 years. Thats usually how long it take for you skin to tighten up after a large weight loss. Some peoples skin tighten up and some don't. It just depends on the person.
