Right now I want to lose about 100lbs (I'm 20). When I was 15-16 I lost about 50 pounds (which I gained back plus some!) but I had no problems with extra skin. I'm worried that now that I'm a little bit older and weigh a lot more than I did then, that I'll have a lot of extra skin from losing the weight. I know losing it slowly and exercising is key -- before I did about half an hour of cardio every day in addition to eating healthy. Will that still work or do I have to worry about the extra skin since I'm nearly 100lbs overweight now?

You are only 20. I doubt you will have any problems with extra skin as long as you don't lose the weight too fast. Even if you lost it fast, I don't think you would have much problem with skin since you are quite young.

I believe you are on the right track. Cardio is great but you should also add in some toning exercises. Toning will help build muscle and help tighten the loose skin. Healthy eating is great along with drinking lots of water and I personally watch how many carbohydrates I have. Good luck on reaching your goal.

If you want to reduce your weight, you need to do a lot of exercise to accelerate your metabolism. It's better if you do cardiovascular exercise, because this kind of exercise helps you burn fat...
You should begin with a good eating plan, combining fats and sweets with fruits and vegetables. It will be better if you drink at least eight glasses of water daily to control your calories and your cholesterol.
If you want you can use some pills to control your weight and to accelerate the process of burning fat.
I know some pills which you can use to reduce your weight. Those pills are Xenical. Its results are excellent and fast.
