Help me please...this is a serous question?

Question

I need to lose about five stone and the only thing that concerns me having already lost three and a half stone is that I am going to be left with saggy skin on my stomach, and I don't want surgery to correct it.

Is there any way to stop this happening?

Thank you in advance.

Sorry, a stone is 14 pounds, didn't mean to confuse you, but I have never been able to work in pounds alone!

Answer 1

again my sort of question the simple answer is weights not only does it lwet you loose wight it stops your skin from sagging it firms you up and tones you up. get free weights and do 3 days a week for half an hour drinking plenty of water, make sure you follow this and i promise you wont have saggy skin well put it this way all the people i ahve trained lost like 6 stone and have not got saggy skin but good abs.

Answer 2

A stone is 14 pounds.

Well done on your progress so far. If you lose weight quickly you will unfortunately be left with the flabby skin.
It IS possible to have it removed in an operation, but nobody wants unnecessary medical stuff.

Try to slow down the rate at which you're losing and work hard on the toning exercises. Good luck.

Answer 3

I have lost four stone in four years and have no noticable sagging - if you lose weight slowly and steadily your body will adapt better. Also use lots of products like mosturising creams and lotions to keep you skin smooth and healthy and things should be better. Finally you need to eat lots of fruits and vegtables as these will help you skin to be more elastic and therefore able to cope with your new shape more easily.

Good luck with losing weight. I bet you will look 100% fantastic!

Answer 4

weight training may help, possibly prevent but not 100%. Weights tone muscles and give your skin time to pull back with its natural elasticity. There is no natural way that i could think of that you could not have "saggy" skin with loosing that much weight (and without surgery) except for some type of exercise regime.

p.s. i have saggy skin too. Good luck

Answer 5

Exercise and time.
By the way folks, a stone is 14lbs or 6 and 1/2 kilos.
That's alot. Good for you.

Answer 6

The only way is to lose it slowly and keep doing toning exercises. When you lose all that weight you will feel on top of the world and you may think differently about surgery.

Well done, keep up the good work and best of luck

Read the recommendations below. Also, go to the book store and locate the book "Weight Training for Dummies". In chapter 15 you will find excellent information on how to perform abdominal exercises correctly. Page 218 of the book dispels all the myths surrounding abdominal training.

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:

*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity. Get a fitness calculator that you can put on your cell phone and computer. This will allow you to easily calculate this formula, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.

*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.

Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as white potatoes) and drink lots of water.

Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Here is an excellent food pyramid that anyone can follow: http://www.rayandterry.com/html/images/PyramidLRG.gif?osCsid=26a424be471d1337e7c2f105d5c64d9d

*3) Exercise on most days by doing cardiovascular training and/or resistance training activities.

Read a book or find a certified trainer to make sure your doing all resistance training exercises correctly.

*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.

*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005”. A superb book to read is “You The Owner’s Manual”. An excellent periodic publication is the “Nutrition Action Health Letter”.

Treatment for Excessive Fat and Weight :-
PHYTOLACCA BERRY's Mother Tincture is perhaps the safest and sure fire way of loosing excessive fat around abdomen. With Phytolacca Berry once you loose the excessive fat and weight you don't get it back because you body takes care of itself after that and keeps you from gathering up excessive fat. It is prescribed after having a baby too, to get the tummy to loose its flab and to make it flatter and tighter. And after loosing weight with this you don't get flabby it tightens up the flab and skin along with helping your body to shed the excessive accumulation of fat around the girth
The dosage is 15 to 20 drops of the tincture in half a cup of hot water thrice a day half hour before or after meals.
Avoid Chocolates, Coffee, Mints, Red Meat and Carbonated and Alcoholic drinks while taking Homeopathic Medicines. You have to take it for at least 30 to 45 days after that you start to feel the results.
To the best of my knowledge its the safest and the most sure fire way of loosing fat and weight and keeping it of for keeps. Excellent remedy for Obese people who cant seem to shed weight despite trying.
Homeopathic Remedies can be found at all Major Herbal Stores or could be bought on line, In most of the world Homeopathic remedies are quite cheap and easy to find and they do not need a prescription.
Take care and God Bless !
