Weight Loss Maintenance Question

In this age of instant gratification I was on a mission this weekend for the answer to a specific question?






How do you get rid of excess skin from weight loss or prevent this problem from happening?

With just the little weight loss of 10 lbs in 30 days I already see this to be a problem........





Here is One Answer:
Extra skin on the belly, arms or legs is a concern for individuals who have a large amount of weight to lose. This extra skin experience seems to happen more in people who lose a large amount of weight in a relatively short period of time. It takes longer for the skin to "shrink" than to lose the weight.





In most cases, when you are losing weight slowly and consistently (about 1-2 pounds a week), the skin will naturally "shrink" so to speak, along with the loss of fat. So you’ll need to give it some time. Exercise with weights, which helps to tone your muscles, can also help with the skin. "Special creams" really do not work and can border on being rip-offs. However, you can use a good moisturizer to hydrate the skin.





Okay, maybe this will work. The Curves program mixes the weight loss through changing diet and increased movement with toning routines on their circuit. If done properly your are looking at 1 to 2 pounds a week of weight loss. If the above is correct, I should not have to save up for plastic surgery Just NEW CLOTHES!
