I lost about 10 lbs. Now how do i make the loose skin tight again?

Question

So i lost weight, and now i have some extra skin (not like gross flab but yes extra skin beause the fat inside is gone) on my legs.

I lost weight by eating healthier, not really by working out. I never was fat i was 129 pounds now im 117 pounds. This is normal for me because i am short and built small.

Anyways, how do i make my legs look toned and tight again and possibly lose all that extra skin??

jessc - i lost 10 pounds just by eating healthy.. ihav always been a skinny person but then when i started to grow i ate a ton and i had this bad eating habit, eating late and stuff, i cut all that out and ate little suppers... its super easy

Answer 1

I applaud you on wanting to become leaner and healthier. But, try this for when the weather is in the teens. Exercise is a natural process that our bodies use to eliminate excess fat. People gain excess weight by either overeating or lack of sufficient exercise. So, on those days, stop and grab your coat and your keys and leave the house. Hurry to do this, but once outside take a leisurely stroll around your block. Then go back home and DON'T SIT DOWN, but do some house cleaning. Continue doing this 1 block jaunt for 1 week. Next week walk 2 blocks at the same leisure pace and go back home and clean some more. By now you should be more intuned to yourself and feeling like you can take on the world. Well, don't. We don't want you to get discouraged and stop walking. Your body will be fine tuning itself as you walk so you may not see immediate results. For your third week take in a block further and go home and do some more cleaning. Do the same for the fourth week as well. Now, here you are at the second month. You should be feeling more energetic. Are you? OK, then let's begin. This time when you go for your walk you will increase it by 2 blocks each week. If you feel pain or are short-winded then stop and go back to your last comfort zone of walking. This is only your body's way of saying that it is not ready for that step so fast. It is not telling you that you can't or never will do it, but just not then. Now go out and buy yourself some good raingear for the days when it is raining cats and dogs. Boots included and cover your nose and mouth as well. Don't let the inclement in the weather get in the way of you having good health. Now that you are walking further you need to go home and start organizing the cabinets and drawers. You are probably one of those people who still watch too much television. If you can't get up the nerve to throw it (idiot box) out, then watch it standing up as you go around and clean house. Oh, and another thing, while you are losing weight your clothes will start to bag and sag. Get rid of them! After all of your hard work you want to flaunt your success. Go out and buy new underwear and outerwear clothing. Don't forget that your feet will have lost weight too, so buy new shoes. Don't overwhelm yourself, though. Buy a piece at a time as you loose weight and get rid of your fat clothes. DO NOT STOP once you are at your ideal weight. Now you have to maintain it, for a lifetime. And always be aware of your surroundings. I can see you now. YOU'RE LOOKING GOOD!

Answer 2

Three ways.

1.) Wait. Your skin will tighten, but it takes time.

2.) Fill the skin back in with muscle. or...

3.) Preperation H. Its temorary, but it works in a pinch. Its what some bodybuilders use pre-contest.

But, just wait it out. Your skin will tighten back up. By the sound of it you probably lost the weight rather quickly.

Answer 3

Aside from surgery, the only way is exercise.
