Will I get flabby skin?

Question

I weight 145 now. I want to lose about 20 pounds. Will my skin get flabby?

Answer 1

not at all, 20 lbs would only be around a 14% decrease in your total bodyweight. saggy skin is usually seen with rapid weight loss of over 30% of the total body weight is a relatively short period of time.

Answer 2

It depends on your age. If you're still growing, the skin cells will die and fall off much more quickly, resulting in more cells and tighter skin. If you aren't growing, it takes longer for the cells to reproduce and will probably not result in flabby skin but will be a little looser than normal. It shouldn't be terribly noticeable however, and should go away within a few days. Also, whenever you shower dead skin cells fall off, so if you're going to stay clean your skin will grow tighter faster.

Answer 3

Depends how you do it. If you just didnt eat youd be thin but your shape wouldnt be too great. You should eat 3 meals with a snack between lunch and dinner then you'll have energy to excercise. Also you should workout 1 hr-1 hr and a half 3-4 days a week.

Answer 4

no i weighed 140 and lost 27 pounds and my skin didnt get flabby at all

Answer 5

skin can lag behind weight loss by about three weeks, so any flabby skin you have should handle itself and tighten on its own before long

Answer 6

No. Adding exercise will keep your muscles toned, and will also help you lose the weight faster and you have a better chance of keeping it off.

Answer 7

depends on how you lose it.
if you aren't going to eat, you will most likely have flabby skin,
if you exercise & take creatine to burn fat & and gain muscle :]

Answer 8

Depends how you do it.
You need to build muscle while losing fat to keep the flab at bay.

Answer 9
