☆skyblue asked:


Three years ago I weighed about 150 lbs and I was happy at that weight. Since then, I gained weight and now weigh about 220 lbs. I’d love to lose the 70 lbs and maybe even more. I’m in no hurry to lose it because I want to do it right. One of my concerns is that I don’t want flabby skin. I see on tv people who lose weight and then have to have surgery to cut back the skin. How do I avoid flabby skin?

   You exercise at the same time as you are dieting.

   Drink lots and lots of water, also do weight training. Weight training will help to pull everything in.

   At 220 lbs, the skin would lose its elasticity, especially around the abdomen.

   For a quick and effective result: reconstructive surgery.

   Exercise perhaps may also firm the affected area, but no idea on how long before any result will be seen.

   Having flabby skin seems like a poor excuse for not losing weight. I think your skin will adjust. ALso, lifting weights should help by promoting good muscle tone.
