By working out as you lose weight and using moisturizers on the skin to help tighten it up/remove wrinkles.
I weigh 135 pounds! How can I lose 30 pounds without getting loose skin?
How tall are you? THirty pds may be too much to lose. See a Dr.
Reply:how about asking this question instead:
how can i learn to be happy with myself as i am, because 135 lbs is NOTHING
Reply:You are already thin. Stop this! 135 lbs is beautiful. Men don't like skinny girls. Most men like a girl with a bit of flab on her. You don't see videoho's in music videos weighing 90 lbs.
Women are in for a huge surprise if they think men like a scrawny anorexic girl. Men prefer a girl with a some baby fat over anorexic girls. You might find the odd guy who likes a bony disgusting flat chested boy-like woman, but most don't like that!
You are perfect at the weight you are! At most lose 5 lbs. No more than that! You are crazy if you think you need to lose. Maybe if you are 3 ft tall and 135 lbs youshould lose 30 lbs. But if you are normal height or over 4 foot 8, you shouldnt weight less than 120 lbs
Reply:I lost 30lbs and I don't have any loose skin. don't worry about is...you should be okay too.
Reply:Why on earth do you want to lose that much weight?
Reply:There is no reason for you to lose that much weight. I don't know the numbers off the top of my head, but you're healthy weighing that much at your height. If anything, and you really want to lose weight, I'd say 5 pounds, or 10 max, but no more.
I'm sure you have a reason for wanting to lose this weight, and I hope it's not to become more attractive for a guy. It's not worth it. You want to be healthy looking, not sickly. I have 4 brothers (all in the dating age frame), and all 4 tell me that they like girls with a little meat on them. One even says he doesn't care what the girl looks like, and he honestly doesn't. But the other three are a bit pickier. They don't want a cow as they put it, but they don't want a skeleton either. You sound perfect. Don't change that unless you have a good reason to do so, and to please a guy is not a good reason.
I myself weighed 150 lbs. at the start of the new year, and I'm 5'4". That was a bit overweight for my height. So I started exercising a little, and I'm down to 140lbs. I've yet to see loose skin. If anything, it tightened. I don't care if I lose any more weight, but I am working on toning my thighs and midsection some more to be fully satisfied.
If you really want to lose that much weight, your goal shouldn't be to weight 105 lbs, but it should be to look healthy and toned. That's such a sexy look in my opinion. Don't let a number define you. But to answer your question, I doubt you'd get loose skin if you lost it in moderation. If you lose it too quickly, loose skin is a possibility because you didn't give yourself time to tone your body.
Good luck with whatever you decide :)
Reply:stay the way you are @5'2 135 is not all that bad stay out of full lentgh mirros until you can be happy with the way you look and if other people dont like the way you look well then they are probably jelleous of how you look and want you to feel bad about yourself
Reply:Baby - not to sound redundant of others - but you really DON'T need to lose 30 lbs. For your height, that is too small. Your body needs sufficient flesh and fat, to hold and protect your structure.
Also, muscle weighs more than fat - so don't focus so much on the #'s. What you want to check, are these things:
1. Does my doctor consider my weight healthy?
2. Do I really need to lose, or just tone%26amp;tighten?
3. Is my weight PROPORTIONATE?
...and adjust accordingly. I would say that you may want to emphasize strength/weight training, rather than cardio. Most likely (from a perfectionist's view - for you don't need to change anything, from what I've seen of you) you just need to build a little muscle, to firm up. There's a difference between the need to tone muscle, and the need to lose fat; both can make one appear to need some work.
All that said - for 30 lbs, you won't get loose skin. However, its not merely the amount that counts. If you lose weight TOO FAST - THAT is what catalyzes loose skin. See, your skin is "adjustable" within limits. It is elastic, and can stretch to a degree. It can also return to normal. But this takes time, and is a more gradual process. If you drop too much weight, too quickly, your skin lags behind in catching up. This is how you get loose skin. Most people wouldn't dream of waiting it out (and depending on the severity, it may not return completely) - so they have surgery to remove it. I say this to satisfy your understanding of this issue - not because you'll have to worry about it. Take care of yourself, baby - and appreciate the body and beauty that God gave you. Aim for health first - cosmetic beauty, last. You do that - and not only will you not have to worry...but then, neither will I. :)
Reply:It depends on your age. I used to weigh around 140 when I was 16 and went down to 114. I'm 5ft (19 years old now). B/c I'm young, I have no extra loose skin. If you're in your thirties or have already had children OR you have a major amount to lose, it is possible you will get loose skin. But, you only have 30 pounds, you should be fine.
