Less likely if you do it slowly. If you do it quickly, maybe, but it may not be that extreme.
Just be aware that diets are well documented to have a high failure rate with over 90% of people gaining all the weight back within 5 years and about half those people gaining even more weight. You can easily end up heavier than you are in the future through dieting, especially to lose weight quickly. Your body/brain is not going to allow you to sustain that most likely. Just being honest. I know people like to believe they have control but science shows us otherwise.
Depends on how fast you lose it and how big you are. If you lose the weight fast, like with weight loss surgery, you will indeed have some loose skin which can be extreme. However if you lose it slowly your skin will have a chance to shrink to fit and you won't have a lot. So the advice from a former fat girl is to lose it slow if at all possible. Even if you have a ton of loose skin there is surgery available to remove the excess. Still it is better to have some scars or loose skin then to die early from diabetes, heart disease, or organ failure
If you lose the weight by fasting, no. The process of autophagy will guarantee it. https://www.healthline.com/health/autophagy Like a company that suddenly lost its income for prolonged periods in a row, your body will start detecting the unnecessary (ex. loose skin), defective, non-functional, sub-functional, etc. and will start deconstructing them, for recycling into what is necessary & functional.
I should know. I lost 20lb in 1month using intensive fasting-schedules for 4weeks, and didn't suffer loose skin.
In case you want to look into it, I used the schedules & guidelines of Dr. Jason Fung in his The Complete Guide to Fasting: Heal Your Body Through Intermittent, Alternate-Day, and Extended Fasting. www.audible.com/.../B01N49H59Z If you don't have an Audible-account yet, you can have it for 30days as a demo to their services. I finished the book in 3days before trying anything so I could start, already knowing the tips & tricks (and also to make sure I don't sabotage my efforts without knowing it).
Of course, there are other fasting-experts out there, so find an expert whose system works best for you. (To be safe, I'd recommend making sure the expert is a trained medical-expert like a doctor or nutritionist, just to be safe.) Whoever your expert is, this advice from Dr. Fung helped me and may help you, too: Fit fasting into your life, not the other way around. If your selected schedule doesn't fit into your life practically, you won't stick to it. And if you don't stick to it, you won't get your desired results.
That's what I'm doing now, the IF. I'm going 2 days fast, 1 day eat. On my eat day I eat whatever I want but workout by lifting heavy weights and hitting the treadmill for 1hr.
Trying to lose 30lbs by July so I can look good in a tank top again.
@Mellontikos Awesome! Good for you! More power to you, man.
In my case, I did an alternate-day for 1week, 5-day the next, alternate-day, 5-day all in 1month and lost 20lb in August 2017. Your schedule should work with you, too.
Just never jump into the fasting-mimicking diet. It proved to be my downfall. Ever since I tried it, keeping my will strong during fasts became noticeably more difficult.
Human skin can typically be stretched about a 20-25% rate and return to a relative normal. That said, the skin will ALWAYS get "looser" when there is a weight loss. The idea is to treat the skin's needs as well as the body's weight needs. Massage and an anti-stretch mark cocoa butter cream such as Palmer's might help. (As usual, I don't any compensation for the mention).
So, doing the math, if you had a 36 inch /91 cm waist, anything below 27-28 inches / 68-71 cm would really be pushing the ability of your skin to restructure at the smaller size. Of course, the longer the period of time that you have been overweight, the harder it will be for the skin to shrink back after it has taken a new "set" at the larger size. On the plus side, you are young, so your skin is still more resilient than if you were older. Good luck.
@massagemanHuman skin can stretch and spring back unless you abuse it by smoking or getting too much sun. There is nothing worse for skin than those two. Both will cause you to lose the elasticity of your skin and if you pinch an inch the wrinkle will remain for a period of time and no instant spring back. No cocoa butter or massaging will help that. Your body replaces skin cells every day. When you get bigger more are produced. Production slows when no more is needed. Unfortunately when you lose weight fast it doesn't take away any skin cells and they stay the same and you get excess skin like in my illustration.
@Daniela1982 I agree that there are many things - including smoking and excessive UV- that can harm the skin. The "pinch recoil" has more to do with the moisture level of the skin, however. In fact, the "back of hand pinch" is a classic "quick test" to measure body hydration. Cocoa butter and proper massage can help to rejuvenate the skin (and I did say MIGHT in my original response). Yes, your body replaces skin cells constantly, with the new cells growing from the basal layers of the skin and migrating outward to the epidermis. When you eat more, the skin cells replace at the same rate, perhaps even more slowly due to poor overall health. New cell production slows as we age, or otherwise over-stress our body, and therefore, the skin. Your skin cells will continue to slough off and be replaced with new cells which will typically make some accommodation to the changes on the body as they migrate outward.
Yes but I've seen good results just sticking to good lotions and oils to rub on your body. Certain exercises to deal with the excess skin and not just the loss of weight. But in all honesty you can't expect it to go back or to be 100% and know the world is changing and everyone should be able to feel sexy and comfortable in their own skin. But there's nothing wrong with pursuing Health and Longevity. You'll be as beautiful as you've ever been just maybe a little more capable from the health benefits just from the activities you will be doing to lose some weight.🥰
If bbn you work out and do it through hard work, the body will form the body to not have a lot ofnloose skin, or it will at least make it not so prominent. If you plan to get surgery for fat removal, you might have the skin hanging, because your body couldn't get rid of it correctly. But you have to be significantly large for that. You are 176, or thqtsbwhat it says when I googled it to pounds, so I'm pretty sure it won't be bad. Just make sure you try to keep the weight nsn off with diet and simple exercise.
Probably a little bit. But I think that if you lose it at a slower pace, your skin will be able to adjust to the change. Also, I've heard that microneedling helps, so you might want to look into that! A woman on youtube (bubzbeauty) microneedled her stomach area after her pregnancy for a few months and the difference is very noticeable.
A way to get around that might be to make sure you lose the weight at a slow and steady pace instead of dropping a lot of kg very quickly. In my opinion, loose skin has more to do with the speed of weight loss than the amount.
it depends on your genetics (skin quality), whether you are losing weight the right way (good combination of strength training and cardio, food) and over what type of period of time (the faster you lose the weight, the harder it will be for your skin to bounce back).
It depends on how fast you lose it. If you lose weight so fast that you start to get lose skin, maintain a steady weight until your body can catch up (you could be causing some long term harm to your body if you lose weight fast enough that you get loose skin anyway).
Don't listen to these people, I use to weigh 372 lbs and loss 100 lbs and I am living proof I have no saggy skin even the apron tummy I had is gone so now I still want work on losing 50-80 lbs
The only time you should be concerned about that is if you lose too much weight rapidly. That can happen if you get Gastric Bypass. It can also happen naturally, but of course, you would have to be taken weight loss to an extreme and lose a lot of weight quickly.
It will be way less if you lift some weights. I lost about that amount about 3 years ago and didn't get lose skin because I worked out a lot.

There is a good chance you will, depends on if the fat is sub-cutaceous or visceral fat. If the majority of the fat is sub-cutaceous your chance of loose skin is much better. Your age will help you also, your skin is young and pliable and has a better chance of going back into place. Do work outs like sit ups and twists will help you too. I lost 100lbs at age 51 and had loose skin. You can also get a tummy tuck if you have loose skin.
