Iv lost 7 stone but still have lots of loose skin, i do exercise but it doesnt seem to help!!!?
i say excercise is making it worse.....BUILD SOME MUSCLE and it should gradually go away.
Reply:You've got to wait for these effects cos they take time. Once you lose weight, yeh your skin will of course not shrink suddenly, because it's been stretched.


Just carry on doing exercise, eat healthily and wait. You can't expect it to happen instantly

Reply:Oh dear - did you loose the weight too quickly I wonder.





I'm afraid if the latter is the case you will always have it unless you get cosmetic surgery to remove it.





Tip for all dieters - never starve yourself and avoid losing weight too quickly else you will get big sacks of surplus skin.
Reply:i would ask a professional trainer or Doctor. sometimes lose skin doesn't bounce back if its lost elasticity, but it may seems worse to you than others and you may not be giving YOUR body enough time to see the results you want. You also many have too high expectations. Also toning is different than cardio- it depend on what kind of exercise that you do.
Reply:sounds like you need a body pull


this is plastic surgery that is much the same as a face lift but removes loose skin and makes you look like you should
Reply:Eat only when hungry and not more than thrice a day. Nothing other than water in between. Include plenty of uncooked vegetables and fruits in each meal, preferably 50%. Chew each morsel at least 32 times to activate ur body to generate signals of hunger/fullness. Obey these signals.





Take light exercises and brisk walks regularly preferably twice a day.





U will achieve what u have not even dreamt and that too in a reasonable time. Do not be in a hurry.
