the skin at my waist is getting flacid. I've lost this over 5 weeks. so it's not like it happened super fast. What can I do to make the skin tighter? I'm doing situps every other day. 150 each time. but my skin looks looser then when I started to lose weight. Will my skin ajust to my new waist width? I still have 8 more pounds to lose to be at an average bmi.

Brittany is correct to an extent. Your skin is alive, and it will adjust to changes in your body weight. 16 pounds is not a lot of weight to lose, so your skin will adjust, though in certain parts of the body you might still have stretch marks.





In rare cases, the skin will be flaccid for good. You can have minor cosmetic surgery to correct this problem, but that should be a last resort.





Give yourself at least six months of fitness training, healthy eating and vitamin E supplements before considering surgery.





Good luck.

Reply:I had a friend who lost over 60 lbs, and she didn't seem to have this problem. Right from the beginning I know she did a lot of resistance training, and she used to drink water all the time. I don't know her eating habits, but I think good nutrition (vitamin A, vitamin E) might help.
