Does someone who had lost a lot of weight know what I'm talking about?

I see changes on my body. Like I'm losing wait. Uhm it kinda looks like cellulite on my stomach while before it was all kinda tight looking. I mean I'm not thin I never even was. I have a big hanging belly and I'm trying to lose weight this whole year. I always eat healthy and drink lots of water. But I was just wondering if those results are good results? When I lay down I even see my stomach getting tighter and when I stand up I see changed too. Don't answer if you've always been thin. Which I'm jealous about. Thank you for answering

It takes a lot longer for skin to tighten than it does to lose the fat. Once you get to where you want to be, you need to work hard to maintain it or the skin will never tighten as the weight changes will keep stretching it out.

So I have to do a lot of tighten exercises?

[brocklee]

The reality is the exercise just builds muscle and helps fill in the space behind it, making it tighter. The actual skin tightening process really can't be sped up. People suggest to take vitamins and drink a lot of water to help aid that process. The one thing I do not agree with is the use of lotions and cocoa butter. I am sure they do not hurt, but i went through the process twice. First time i used lotions. Second time I did not.. There is zero difference.

I've lost 30 kg in a year and yes that sounds like you're getting there :)

Wow thank you so much! I ask this because I've never seen that kind of reaction from my body after a lot of working out and eating healthy

If you loose a lot of weight, your skin may get loose even if you get muscle underneath. You can strengthen it by trying to add collagene. Eat a lot of vegetables and fruit.

[Asker]

Thank you for your advice! I'm gonna definitely use it! by the way I'm allergic to fruit so can I use yogurt instead?

[Xfitchick]

Not really. You need the collagene, but eating vegetables will already help you a lot.

thanks

Is your skin loose?

[Asker]

Well it's in the early stages of loose skin. You still see a lot of fat. Tight together of you know what I mean. But it's like. Cellulite on your belly instead of your legs

If the skin is loose you need to be careful you don't end up with excess skin after. Loads of people get that from losing weight. If you've been loosing the weight by healthy eating and not much exercise, you should do more exercise to help tighten things up a little. It's similar to how you've gotta tighten up your pelvic floor after all the stretching in pregnancy (that's why even women who had c sections still need to do the exercises)
So yea, for stomach, do lots of sit ups, side bends etc just do loads of stuff that targets your middle and it should help a bit.
