I'm no expert on the subject, but I was an exercise science major in my undergraduate studies and can say that your skin sometimes lags behind a bit. Skin is ellastic and before it was stretched from excess body weight (fat accumulated between your skin and your muscles). Now some of that fat is gone and your skin is not stretched as much anymore. It should firm back up with a little time. You've just lost a lot of weight in a short period of time and your body is playing catch up!



Two things you can do to try to speed that up are:

-Make sure you are hydrated- drink water! It is the best thing you can do for your skin. Lotion is a good idea as well. How to tell if you are properly hydrated? Two ways (both dealing with the bathroom) first off- what color is your pee? It should be tinted yellow--- but not actually yellow. If it is yellow drink more water. Also, how often do you have to go? If looking at your pee makes you gag, just count how many times you go to the bathroom to pee in a day. If you only have to go 2-5 times a day (24 hours) you should probably drink more water.



-Start lifting weights- and eat some protein- this will help you gain some muscle weight which will help give you a toned look.



Do these two things and in about 2-3 months you should be able to keep the weight off AND get rid of that loose skin feeling.



Also, thought I don't think this relates to you, most complaints of "loose" skin is actually not loose skin but a bad body composition ratio brought about by crash dieting. Read about it here: http://www.bodyfatguide.com/LooseSkin.htm



To avoid this "Loose skin" the best thing to do is diet and exercise and lose no more than 1kg per week.



(As you have done-- bravo and good luck!)

Yes I have a solution which you can consider seriously. Am sure it would work if you willing to give it a try.



* Use a reasonable amount of dead sea medicated bath salt (must be of fine texture) and massage lightly in circular motion on the loose skin.

* After you have scrub it, you will feel a sense of heat around the area. If you use normal kind of bath salt, it wont not work.

* Then you apply a layer of dead sea body mud mask on the loose skin area and wrap it with clingwrap (few rounds).

* Leave it on for 10 - 15 minutes for it to dry.

* Unwrap and you will see some red patches on the area. Its a good sign as it has helped you to burn off excess fats and firm up the area.

* Shower off and apply virginal oil to ease away any possible wrinkles.

* Do it daily if you want to solve your problem fast or do it alternate days.

As others said already: Drinking water, protein shakes, muscle building.

Something strange I do in addition: I heard a lot about body lotions containing Caffeine, and Algue-Coffeine Bathlotions.



So I add left over coffe and second -brews to the bath water.



The coffe grains in the filter make a really great body scrub - don't worry, it rinses off the body and shower walls without trace.

My 'invention' (boasting, lol) is the best body scrub for elasticity and softness of skin I ever tried.



But don't worry, at your age the skin will become firm sooner or later naturally anyways, if you don't let it get too dry and keep up exercising.

I've tried many diets and couldn't make anything work. Since having my first child, I've been carrying around an extra 30 pounds. This diet just made sense and showed me that everything I was doing before was wrong and a waste of my time.



The plan was so refreshing and so simple to follow. I did everything plan said and lost 23 pounds in the first three weeks. I'm now starting the diet again to lose 7 more pounds. This plan has changed my life.



Get started today!

Eat muesli two hours before training to boost fat burning whilst you train. Slow to digest, muesli takes longer to acquire through your system, so is less probably be turned into fat and still will give you a good energy boost.

Beans, beans, are great for your heart, the more consumed the more you... lose fat actually. Super-effective and full associated with fibre, beans will regulate your appetite and slow down the rate at which ones stomach empties, meaning you continue to be fuller for longer.

Suck it in. Consciously hold in and contract your stomach muscles while you’re walking, sitting for your desk or making the supper. This will help to strengthen your stomach muscles and your core, and provide you with one step closer to any flatter stomach.

People who plan their weekly meals tend to be successful at losing weight than people who don’t. Plan your dishes to add healthy carbs such as special potato and wholegrain pasta, green vegetables and lean proteins, buy the many ingredients in advance and don’t be tempted to consume out or order in.
