Is there any way of avoiding loose skin when i get to my goal weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: As we age we lose the elasticity of our skin. Thus the older we get the less likely skin is to conform to a smaller body size after weight loss.This varies from person to person so there is no age after which this occurs.
