How do you avoid saggy skin during and after weight loss?

Question

Everyone always says "If you lose weight to quickly then you will get saggy skin" but if you watch shows like the biggest loser and stuff like that.. they are losing alot of weight quite rapidly and do not have any excess skin?... Hows that work?? Is it to do with doing weight or something?? Im confused!!..

Answer 1

Skin is elastic and will shrink to fit the same way it is able to expand to fit when you gain.  However if you loose a great deal of weight quickly it may be temporarily saggy while it catches up.  You are highly unlikely to loose that fast unless you are morbidly obese and get stomach surgery or something drastic like that.  I would worry more about the healthy benefits and how much better you will look and feel after loosing.  Don't let something that silly be an excuse for not trying to loose if you need to!
