Will I get saggy skin after losing weight?

I'm 21 years old.


5' 7.5"


I weigh 243





I want to lose 113lbs.





The thing I'm worried about is that I lose weight pretty quickly without trying to! If I just watch what I eat and exercise, I lose about 3-5lbs. a week. I weighed 251 in the middle of last week, but after eating light and going to the gym, I'm already down 7 pounds.





When I mention this, people often think it's related to how much I weigh now. However, when I was younger my highest weight was 185 and I dropped down to 163 in about a month with only attending my high school Physical Education class! I had no saggy skin then, but I was 15.





Is it likely that I'll get saggy skin after losing this weight?

this is hard to answer because everyone is different. you have your age going for you, you're young so your skin should 'snap' back more than someone older.... make sure you're doing resistance (weight) training as well, this will help. No one can say for sure if you will or not, it is possible that you will have loose skin. don't let that deter you though, a bit of loose skin is nothing as compared to the health risks caused by being overweight.

Reply:yes you will have excess skin hanging from your arms.
Reply:it depends on the elasticity of your skin, and whether or not you lose the weight too fast. the reason why gastric bypass patients have saggy skin afterward is that they lose the weight SO quick.





i say lose the weight regardless. you can always fix it later. lose it slowly and in a good way.
