When losing a lot of weight how to avoid loose skin?!
Question: I am starting some type of a weight loss plan that I can live with- not sure just what yet. I do know that I am giving myself until February 2009 to hopefully see my end results- or VERY close to them. I have a lot of weight to lose- based on the BMI I need to lose around 155 pounds... so around 11-12 pounds a month on average. On major concern I have is I am wanting to avoid the extreme loose skin that I see a lot of people have. I am young (25) and hope that might help somehow. What can I do to avoid this? Also, any really great exercises I can do? I have like NO time, I work 2 jobs and live in a town that has no fitness centers- a town of about 800- closest city is almost an hour away, so I will not buy a membership. I will feel embarrassed walking around town, as people will watch- but I need to suck it up I guess. Anything I can do in the house that is awesome??? Any words of wisdom from someone who has done this?? Anything will help! Thank you!

All I know is if you lose it slowly like 2 pounds a week and do a little bit of strength training or light weights to tone up or tighten your skin you should have no problem with loose skin.
i heard eating soy increases the elasticity in your skin. you should eat some soy milk, soy bars, and tofu...maybe some lotion with soy extract in it. la weight loss has really good bars and the calories aren't that bad.
