biglad111 I'm from the US so not sure what 16 stone is.. how was your physique growing up were you fat and lost weight? why the loose skin?? i do know that being over weight will cause loose skin and from being at that weight for a while will mess with the elasticity in your skin making it harder to tighten up when you do lose weight. how old are you?? theres so many factors that go into any advice i can give you.
