I havent lost 50 pounds and do not need to but I know people who have done!.

If you lose the weight sensibly ie keeping your calorie intake at about 1500 and exercise regularly ie three days a week for half an hour!.!.!.then you should be fine

Hey, i'm 15 and have lost 56 pounds ( 4 stone ) I have no excess skin lol, but I do have another half stone to lose!. I think it's like stretch marks, you only get them if you crash diet, you know, whilst I lost mine over a period of 8 months!.

So in short - No - Thank God lolWww@Answer-Health@Com

Don't underestimate the elasticity of human skin! You need to lose a lot more than 50 lbs to have any 'excess skin' to worry about!. Just drink a lot of water (it's very important), and eat right, and your skin will be completely fine!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

i think it all depends on ur skins elasticity and how fast u lose the weight/ method of weight loss (surgery/ exercise etc) my friends mom lost 48lbs very quickly after having the gastric bypass surgery and she has alot of loose skin around her midsection and her knees!. i think if u do it slowly (with exercise and diet) then the skin stays tighter but im not 100% sureWww@Answer-Health@Com
