Lose skin.. After weight loss

[Tomek.. The HULK]

Could someone go into a bit of detail about the factors of loose skin?

Weighting in at 269pounds some 4 weeks ago im in at 263 at the moment. Target weight is roughly 200-210 pounds (height is 185cm's) My question is how much loose skin will i have when this my goal is reached and what kind of measures could i go to help minimising loose skin or preventing it??
I am a total noob in "loose skin" so coud someone please lead me through all the vital factors?
Greatly apreciated, thanks in advance

alot has to do with the natural elasticity of your skin. everyone is different.

if you drop the bf slowly with a sound diet and exercise regiment (not dropping the weight too quick) you may be able to minimize the amount of droopy skin.

i don't know how tall you are by cm's but you may not have that much skin afterwards, again it depends.

what i will recommend is the new skin lotions for women which tighten skin and get rid of "cottage cheese" areas. it's like $40 for a month supply or more. it works big time, i've seen the results.

Loose skin is usually caused by a rapid weight loss.....if you take it slowly as said previously and based on your age & skin elasticity, you may not have a problem.

There's really no way to predict if you'll have loose skin or not....

Im not a lucky one! I got a shitload of extra skin. Not to the point where you can notice without stetching!

But I can see the folds where it just skin. no fat in between just skin too. I know slow weight loss prevents this. Im down 165lbs from 240. What about the people who already lost all the weight , reguardless to fast or not, what can they do? I mean i lost it semi slow, and there are def people out there who dropped even more fast then me so what could they do? What "naturual" remedies can i do? Letme know fellas thanks.

My fault, i didnt read TIMTIM's answer. What type of cream do you recommend?

A lot of people get a "tuck" to tighten the loose skin....

I havent' found any of the skin firming creams to work, really.....

it is indeed dependent upon the person and their skin elasticity and how fast they lost it. everyone is different. I lost 120 lbs and had a lot of excess skin on the abdominal area that had to be removed.
