All About Flabby Skin





Question:

I have almost same history of yours.

I have seen one of your video and I still have a question about your skin.

What did you do to tighten it up??? because I lost about 35 kilos and my skin is horrible at the moment.

PS.
nice transformation, keep going....


ANSWER: 



After I lost the 85 lbs I had a lot of extra flabby skin in my stomach because I lost the weight so quickly.  After seeing that vitamin E lotions were not working I discovered weight training was my only option.  If you add muscle to the area where the loose skin is as well as the reverse area (so if the stomach would be the area of loose skin and the lower/middle back would be the reverse area) it will stretch the skin and make it tighter.  The best way to add muscle to the areas is by weight training with a 8-12 rep range for the loose area.  This will take time to do however.  

For those of you going through a transformation right now I suggest using vitamin E lotions on your skin a few days a week to help reduce loose skin at the end of weight loss. The best way to prevent loose skin after weight loss is by losing weight at a rate of 1-2 lbs per week.  If weight is lost slowly then the skin will have adequate time to adjust and stretch.

    1. Hi Alex:

      Yes, I have stretch marks on my stomach. I had them when I was heavy and they are still there after I lost weight. I don't think mine will ever go away.
