Weight loss question :)



Recommended Posts

I have lost 30 lbs in 5 weeks with very little exercise. Is this going to slow down a bit? I am just trying not to have too much saggy skin.

Yes, yes, yes....it will slow down.

I lost 60lbs in about 6 months with very little effort - now I have to work for it - which is fine. Just enjoy it while it lasts, LOL.

Yes, it should eventually slow down to 2-8 lbs a month. I would imagine that 5 lbs is the avg.

Yes, it will slow down.

However as far as the sagging skin, that will depend on your age, how long you've been overweight, skin elasticity, and genetics. Some people are super lucky and can lose over 100 pounds with very little excess skin. Others lose the same amount and have a lot of excess skin. Unfortunately, losing weight slower doesn't mean you won't have sagging skin.

Best wishes.

It will slow down, but consider adding exercise if possible. It helps!

i think alot is based on age, weight, heritage etc....i think as you lose and exercise, you can/will tone but there is always that chance of saggy..you can later have surgery if you want...just keep doing what you are doing as you are doing great in my book.

ps, let me add, i'll take saggy over seeing the scale over 300+ again
