Will I get loose skin after weightloss? Can you tell me your experiences?

[anamenal]

I want to lose around 50 lbs (25kg) and i am really worried about how my body will look after my weightloss! I am 19 years old, so i am young. I also go to the gym 4-5 days a week and I usually do some walking-running and cycling, I am going to try to include some weight lifting in the next few months.
Do you think that under my circumstances I will get loose skin? Can you please tell me if you have experienced loose skin after losing weight? Any tips to avoid it?
Thank you in advance xxx

Sounds like you're on a good path. Definitely incorporate weight training and don't worry about losing weight too quickly. A slower weight loss will ensure better "tightening" of the skin. Usually people only gave sagging skin when they've rapidly lost weight.

Good work and continued good luck on your goals!

I've lost 50lbs and I don't have any loose skin.
I think loose skin only comes from weight loss like 100+ lbs or more.
I could be wrong though.

you're still young, it won't affect you as much as it has me. i lost 85 lbs in just over a year and i do have some awkward looking loose skin here and there. its not too terrible though. just make sure you go through weight loss as slowly as possible

You could, its based on genetics and age. Mostly age i think, could be wrong. If you're losing only 50pounds id say most likely not. Drink lots of water and lose the weight slowly

I've lost 100 lbs and yes I have a lot of loose skin unfortunately but that can be fixable, what matters is being healthy! And looking hot!
