Question 1

bridesmaid dress is too tight! and it won't zip. how could i lose weight fast without starving myself?

Accepted Answer

Accept yourself: If your spouse already accepts you the way you are why the need to change anything.
You are just setting yourself up for disaster.

Question 2

should i keep trying to lose weight or stop here and try to give my body more time to tighten up the skin before losing any more?

Accepted Answer

Depends: On what your initial weight was, what your current weight is (how much you have lost) and what your goal weight is.

With that information, a doctor can tell you what would be in your best interest.

Often, the recommendation is to first lose all of the weight to attain your goal weight as this will keep you motivated.

Question 3

will laxity in face tighten if lose weight?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It depends on your skin type and your age mostly, but can also depend on how fast you lose weight.  The younger you are, the more likely you are to see tightening.

Question 4

i have had 1 kid and have tried exercise and diet and i lose weight but my body won't tighten back up instead it just seems to sag more what can i do?

Accepted Answer

Exercise and swim: At nineteen your skin should have enough elasticity to firm after weight loss. Try light weight repetitive activities to tone the underlying muscle.To improve skin tone try swimming in cool water to tighten the dermis.

Question 5

when i lose weight, what's the best way to tighten up the loose skin?

Accepted Answer

Lots of options: If you're lucky, your skin will contract as you lose weight.  If that doesn't happen the excess skin may need to be surgically removed.  This is a common procedure that removes the extra skin while trying to "hide" the resultant scars in inconspicuous locations.

Question 6

tried different diets and exercises but i just lose weight and my skin won't tighten back up. how can i tighten my belly up again?

Accepted Answer

Metabolism: To tighten up skin that is slack after weight loss, it usually takes monumental effort when done via exercise and when the person is over 35 years of age.  One of the best exercises which gives overall toning is swimming laps (repetitive anaerobic exercise).  Running long distances is also helpful, but can be stressful to joints. Short of exercise, surgery might be a consideration.

Question 7

can i use aloe vera for tightening up the skin? i've lost 66lbs and need to lose more, but i like to tighten my skin as i lose weight.

Accepted Answer

The aloe Vera: is not likely to have significant effect. As it dries, it can pull skin a little taughter but that does not mean that it is lessening extra skin.

Question 8

desperately need to lose weight and lower bp but i have a bad ankle (had 3 surgeries to tighten ligaments and repair missing tendons)... what to do?

Accepted Answer

Stop sodas, fast foo: Exercise can be done in a swimming pool if your ankle feels OK. diet is the biggest problem. Stop sodas - they increase the "sweet tooth" including diet sodas. Avoid all deep fried food and greasy food . Fat has more calories than sugar! Eat lean meats without the skin, fresh fruit and fresh vegetables. No butter and no added salt. Salt will increase the BP. Any activity is better than no activity

Question 9

how to 68kg to 45 kg in 2 months ..i am 16 year old and really need to lose weight ..and even tighten my loose skin without surgeries?

Accepted Answer

Diet and Exercise: At 16 the best option for weight loss is diet and exercise.  You can work with a personal trainer or nutritionist who can help you and keep you accountable.  Depending on height, 68kg isn't that overweight, 45 is probably too thin unless you're under 155cm.  23kg weight loss in 2 months is an unreasonable goal and would be unhealthy, you shouldn't focus on the number.

Question 10

i have  loose stomach as i have loose my weight so i want to make it tight how can i do this?

Accepted Answer

Tummy tuck: If you have lost a lot of weight and you have loose skin on your belly, usually the only way to get rid of it is to remove it surgically.
I recommend that you seek out a consultation from a board certified plastic surgeon to explore the options available to you.
Good luck.
