Loose skin

[Danilou]

Hello,I'm new to this,I have recently lost weight and I carried alot of it around my stomache ,unfortunately I now have a lot of loose skin so I don't look much smaller around the middle.and its an ugly shape ,is there anything I can do to reduce this or is surgery the only thing that would address this,it's not really an option for me.

Nothing works other than time with loose skin unfortunately. According to most sites I have looked at it can tale around 2 years of maintenance for your body to get back to what it should be. But that's obey if you're lucky. For some it will never shrink back. 😕 I am dreading it too! I have loose skin at the moment but haven't reached my goal yet so I will find out what happens when I do!

unfortunately if doing exercises that target problem areas donot work then surgery or wearing body sculpting underwear is the only option. I too have loads of excess skin after losing 7 stone also the older you are the less likely it is to go. Primark do some good underwear to help. Try to focus on what you've achieved and nit in the negatives good luck 😊

Moisturising helps, 😊 and at least you can cover your tummy,😊 Good luck

Thanks for all the replies,I still have around another 2 stone to lose I'm hopeful my middle will get smaller,I think it's just something I might have to live with.I think I will try some tummy to exercises.
