Can you end up having loose skin if you're only aiming to lose 15 pounds?

Will exercising and running and weights help prevent loose skin?

Can you end up having loose skin if you're only aiming to lose 15 pounds?
NOt likely. People who have loose skin problems normally are 200 - 300 lbs overweight.
Reply:Good grief. You won't have loose skin from losing 15 pounds.





Loose skin comes from being at least 100 or more pounds overweight. That is serious skin stretching. And they are obese for many years. Stretching the skin that much and for that long....that's what causes the loose skin when they lose weight.
Reply:Not likely, I have dropped as much as 40 lbs w/o having lose skin. But part of it is genetics (like how some women never get stretch marks during pregnancy and other get them after 2 months).
Reply:Exercise will help with saggy muscles and will tone the skin. But remember, when you exercise with weights, you will gain muscle and muscle weighs more than fat, just keep that in mind when you are dieting.
Reply:I agree. People who lose a large amount of weight versus 15 pounds have that problem due to the elasticity of their skin. And depending on your age it could be hard to tone up even if you're only losing 40 pounds.





But yes, a good diet, excercise and staying healthy will help maintain your weight and stay tone.
