Minimizing the potential for excess skin.

[clk 3,519]

Completely OT but you remember those Subway commercials where they touted that Jared started walking to Subway to eat and that's how he lost the weight? Hubs did grad school at IU (Indiana University) and seriously...his apartment was on the second floor...and Subway was on the ground one. It always made me snicker.

Totally jealous that his skin snapped back, though. Laura, do you think it's too late to start eating Subway? I hate Subway because of their "side of jiggly thighs commercial" (as if their food isn't processed fast food masquerading as a healthy choice) and haven't been there in years.

I'd wet your skin down before but that's just me. I also take Vitamin e plus all my other Vitamins. And st. Ives skin firming lotion

Yes wet your skin 1st. And be careful not to slip. You'll also need to wash the tub out after.

Oh, and to the OP? It's purely genetics. A good indicator? If you already have a lot of stretch marks, your skin isn't as resilient and you will have some degree of excess skin. The only things you can really do to minimize it are stay very hydrated (water intake AND lotion for your skin) and possibly strength training. I read a post a few years back about dry brushing but have never felt it was worth the bother.

Good luck!
