How much weight do you have to lose to have excess skin? -

I m around 5 4 - 5 5 and weigh 170lbs and I m 18 years old. I ve just started a healthy weight loss program and my goal weight is around 110 - 120lbs, I m just wondering if I will likely have excess skin after that much weight loss??

You won t have any excess skin, that is a big misconception that alot of people have. Excess skin happens when someone gets lyposuction or any kind of surgery...like the lap band. They end up losing weight so fast that their skin doesn t have time to mold with their body.Now if you re on a healthy weight loss program and you are working out, your skin will have plenty of time to mold with your body and you won t end up with the excess skin. So that s a REALLY good thing! My sister lost 70 lbs healthy diet and excersise and 0 excess skin so I know from personal experience.
