Lost a lot of weight.
I've lost a lot of weight last year (went from 260 to 195 pounds) and the
thing is I have a lot of loose fat and skin and I'm wondering how to get rid of it. Anyone had that problem and solved it? I'm thinking of buying a stationnary bike and doing that about 30 mins a day to an hour, would it help me about losing all the fat on my body or iw would just be good for the legs? My legs are fine actually. All my body is alright 'cept my upper arms, chest and belly. |

Lost a lot of weight.
It depends quite a bit on your age. When you are fairly young, the loose skin
will shrink over time - it takes at least 6 months after your reach goal before all the skin will shrink. I lost almost 100 pounds in my 40's & the skin completely shrank. Well, I put it all back on plus some, but this time only some of the skin has shrunk and the rest is just hanging. I did look into having it surgically removed, but decided it was just too invasive as well as being extremely costly. If you are young then exercise & time will take care of most of it. Wish you luck.

I'm 23 years old so you think I shouldn't worry much about it?
I'll start cycling in the morning before work and then this winter I will pick up snowboarding and find new things to do. I really don't want to go into gyms, I hate it there. |

Keep up your exercise routine, and add a little something for extra upper body exercise, and it will eventually shrink down. It may never vanish altogether: a lot of that will depend on your age, what type of skin you have (dry skin is less elastic), and so on...
