Skin Elasticity?

[Kay York 53]

I am 27 and wondering if skin will "bounce back"? I have seen older people that have so much loose skin and wondered if people in there 20's would have less or same?? Anyone experienced this yet?

I am not sure how much you have to lose but given your age you should do fairly well. Slow loss allows the skin to tighten up a little better IMHO. I was worried because I am almost 53 but even my skin has responded. I am sure I will still need some help once I reach goal but I am impressed with what my skin has done.

My skin did very well in most places. My tummy was stretched out by babies, so there was no hope for that, but I just had a Tummy Tuck to fix it. My arms look really good, and although my thighs are a little wobbly, it isn't bad enough for me to get them fixed. Make sure you drink plenty of Water as this helps keep your skin moist, and helps it bounce back better. Good luck!

As with almost everything in this journey everyone has different results. For the most part from what I have read the younger folks tend to do better at not having so much lose skin, i'm jealous of that since believe me I have a lot of lose skin, but i'm ecstatic that that skin is no longer filled with fat so I guess it's a worth while trade off. Good Luck.

My doctor said it all depended upon your age & how long you had been overweight. I've carried this weight for more than 10 years now so I know I'm a lost cause. I could care less about my tummy since no one but my husband would be seeing that & other areas, but my arms are just horrible, & people can see those, unless I wear long sleeves the rest of my life. I've only lost about 37 lbs but I can already see the difference in my arms & how bad they look.

I just turned 37 last week, but I feel like I am 22 again! Lol.....I made sure to drink Water as often as I could, and it has helped me tremendously! I have no problem walking around in a sleeveless shirt, and short shorts! Hehe....my daughters friends ( that are guys and are 18) told her I was a milf! Oh my god, was I embarrassed when she told me that! Hehe
