Q&A: What is the best way to avoid saggy skin during a weight loss regiment?
posted in Society & Cultures |Question by Julie L: What is the best way to avoid saggy skin during a weight loss regiment?
I’m 29, I’m 5’2”. In the past 2.5 weeks i have lost 11 pounds and now weigh 205. I have already noticed a little skin sag.
I reviewed the other questions on this topic. I want to know if it is necessary to stick to the regiment of 2 pounds max per week for weight loss or it’s alright to lose more if you’re doing higher intensity exercises like swimming, running, bicycling.
I’ve been losing weight so fast b/c i’ve cut down on how much food i’ve been eating, working out multiple times a day and cutting down on sleep ( i was sleeping too much previously).
would collagen in skin spring back faster if i lose weight at the slower rate of 2 lbs per week?
even if i lose weight faster than the 2 lbs, and lose weight at the 1 lb/ day as i am now, will my skin shrink to normal eventually? (i hope to lose at least 70 more lbs) i’m willing to lose weight 2lb/wk. i gained this weight of 65 pounds over the past year. i haven’t had it for very long. is my skin resilient? be honest.

My skin has been shrinking…as my sleep has increased. I sleep at least six hours per night. Sometimes seven or eight. You need to increase your sleep to increase weight loss and body repair. Congratulations on the good results of your hard work, and good luck!
