Reply:you should be fine as long as you exercise as well. being in your twenties, you skin is still elastic enough that it sould "spring" back into place. if you still have any doubts you should consult a doctor.
Reply:Lose no more than a pound a week and you should be ok. People only really suffer from sagging when they lose weight too fast (more than 3lbs a week) and generally only happens to older people as their skin is less elastic due to collagen degradation. Good luck with everything!

Reply:if you lose as much as seven stone then you probably will have some saggy skin, skin is elastic but if you stretch it beyond a certain amount, it will lose its ability to return to its former state
Reply:Losing 7 lbs. wouldn't make your skin sag. if you want some tips visit my blog at http://uk.360.yahoo.com/neville044
Reply:I think of it this way...would I rather have some loose skin but be at a good weight/size...or would I rather have that skin full of fat and still be overweight and unhealthy?





I lost 90 lbs in a few months (years ago) and I do have a bit of loose skin, but it beats being 230+ lbs.





As you lose weight, do toning exercises to help build up your muscles a little bit (they won't get too big for females) and lose the weight slowly. Flab typically occurs when weight is lost faster than the skin can keep up, or when one is quite morbidly obese and the skin has been stretched beyond it's ability to "shrink" as you do.





The plus is, the skin can be removed if desired after you've hit your goal weight...but if you lose the weight in a healthy manner, it's unlikely to be necessary.





Good luck!

Reply:you are quite young. as you get older you'r skin losses elsticity and it increases you'r chance of skin sagging. the key thing's to rember is to loose the weight gradualy, it stays off alot better and you'r skin is slowly aloud to shrink back whihc decrease you'r chance of sagging. the other important thing is to make sure you exercise and tone up pretty much from the minute you start lossing weight.





good luck and rember that having saggy skin can be fixed and is better than being over weight.
Reply:If you drink a lot of water this will help prevent the skin from "sagging", naturally when you lose weight the skin wants to sag but water helps tighten it up. Also exercise will help to prevent this. It's probably best to get a bit of advice from your doctor before you begin.
Reply:if u do exercise and eat healthy food during your diet your skin will not hang.
Reply:well put it this way u must of put on alot of weight for it to be sagging when u do lose it the weight you put on has been streatched for the long lenght of time u have been over weight so am affraid that sagging is gonna happen but there is surgery for people that have lost alot of weight and had excess skin removed maybe u can consider that.

Your rate of metabolism dictates how many calories you burn. Heredity, gender, age, body size. diet and nutrition, activity level, and your overall health factor in on determining how high or low your metabolism is. It is normal for metabolism levels to lower as a person ages. Because of this it is important to begin stepping up your exercise routines in your thirties and forties.





Ways to Boost Your Metabolism





Eat Regularly - Eating 5-6 small meals throughout the day will give you energy throughout the day--helping you to burn calories. Whereas, calories eaten during larger meals tend to get stored as fat.


Maintain a Balanced Diet - Not only how often you eat is important, but your food choices are equally as important. Nurture you body with the appropriate balance of protein and carbs.





Eating whole foods rather than processed food gives your digestive system a workout that burns calories. For example: choose an apple over apple juice.


Workout with Weights - Building muscle mass will replace stored fat. As you build muscle tissue your metabolism increases.


Don't Forget Cardio - You need to get that heart rate up and breathe a little heavier. Twenty to thirty minutes of cardiovascular activity 5 days a week is recommended. Brisk walking or swimming are good. Or utilize exercise equipment (exercise bike, treadmill, or elliptical trainer)


Fruits and vegetables are clearly an important part of a good diet. Almost everyone can benefit from eating more of them, but variety is as important as quantity. No single fruit or vegetable provides all of the nutrients you need to be healthy. The key lies in the variety of different fruits and vegetables that you eat.


Some basic fruit and vegetable tips:


• Try to eat more fruits and vegetables. If you need 2,000 calories a day to maintain your weight and health, aim for at least nine servings (4½ cups) a day.


• Choose a variety of different fruits and vegetables. It's easy to get into a rut when it comes to the food you eat. Break out and try a wider variety - include dark-green, leafy vegetables; yellow, orange, and red fruits and vegetables; cooked tomatoes; and citrus fruits.
