A member asked:
I am 5'4 and 160lbs. i plan to lose 40 lbs to be at a healthy weight, will this cause me to have loose skin after the weight loss?

I wouldn't worry. : Genetics plays a big part. Impossible to know for sure but you don't have that much to shrink ,so don't worry about it. The important thing is to lose the weight 1st,for your healths sake. I'm sure you will be happy with the way you look minus 40 lbs. Good luck.
